DevOps for Front-end Developers: From Local Code to Production by Docker Captain

Unlock the Power of Modern Full-Stack Development in Half a Day!Ready to build lightning-fast, scalable web applications? Join our immersive 4-hour interactive workshop and dive headfirst into the world of Full-Stack Next.js 15!This isn't just another theory session. You'll roll up your sleeves and build a real-world movie comparison application from scratch, guided step-by-step by our expert instructor Maurice. We'll start by setting up your local development environment with a robust PostgreSQL database running in a Docker container. Then, you'll experience the magic of rapid UI generation using v0.dev, allowing you to create stunning interfaces with ease.But we won't stop at the front-end. You'll learn how to seamlessly integrate your UI with a powerful backend using Next.js 15's latest features and the elegant Prisma ORM to interact with your PostgreSQL database. Plus, you'll discover the best practices for handling client-side behavior with a fun, interactive movie comparison feature.Finally, we'll take your application live with continuous deployment to Vercel, showcasing how to effortlessly share your creations with the world. By the end of this workshop, you'll have a fully functional movie comparison app and the confidence to tackle your own full-stack projects using the cutting-edge Next.js 15 ecosystem.

Ivan’s first attempts at performance debugging were chaotic. He would see a slow interaction, try a random optimization, see that it didn't help, and keep trying other optimizations until he found the right one (or gave up).
Back then, Ivan didn’t know how to use performance devtools well. He would do a recording in Chrome DevTools or React Profiler, poke around it, try clicking random things, and then close it in frustration a few minutes later. Now, Ivan knows exactly where and what to look for. And in this workshop, Ivan will teach you that too.
Here’s how this is going to work. We’ll take a slow app → debug it (using tools like Chrome DevTools, React Profiler, and why-did-you-render) → pinpoint the bottleneck → and then repeat, several times more. We won’t talk about the solutions (in 90% of the cases, it’s just the ol’ regular useMemo() or memo()). But we’ll talk about everything that comes before – and learn how to analyze any React performance problem, step by step.
(Note: This workshop is best suited for engineers who are already familiar with how useMemo() and memo() work – but want to get better at using the performance tools around React. Also, we’ll be covering interaction performance, not load speed, so you won’t hear a word about Lighthouse 🤐)

You've just landed on a web page and you try to click a certain element, but just before you do, an ad loads on top of it and you end up clicking that thing instead.
That…that’s a layout shift. Everyone, developers and users alike, know that layout shifts are bad. And the later they happen, the more disruptive they are to users. In this workshop we're going to look into how web fonts cause layout shifts and explore a few strategies of loading web fonts without causing big layout shifts.

Often we see JavaScript damaging the accessibility of a website. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to avoid common mistakes and how to use JS in your favor to actually enhance the accessibility of your web apps!
In this workshop we’ll explore multiple real-world examples with accessibility no-nos, and you'll learn how to make them work for people using a mouse or a keyboard. You’ll also learn how screen readers are used, and I'll show you that there's no reason to be afraid of using one!
Join me and let me show you how accessibility doesn't limit your solutions or skills. On the contrary, it will make them more inclusive!
By the end, you will:- Understand WCAG principles and how they're organized- Know common cases where JavaScript is essential to accessibility- Create inclusive links, buttons and toggleble elements- Use live regions for errors and loading states- Integrate accessibility into your team workflow right away- Realize that creating accessible websites isn’t as hard as it sounds ;)

Imagine replacing yourself with a multi-agent AI programmer to develop your production web application. That's exactly what we did at my startup takzyli.pl. To achieve this, we designed and used the Clean Coder - AI agent framework for autonomous code writing (https://github.com/GregorD1A1/Clean-Coder-AI), which is hopefully open-source project. If it worked for us, why shouldn't it work for you?In this workshop, I'll show you how to create an entire web application in an (almost) autonomous way and drastically reduce the time you or your employees spend on writing code.
