WebAssembly is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine, enabling deployment of code in languages like Go, Rust, or C++ to run in the browser. It allows for efficient image compression algorithms and whole runtimes like Node.js in the browser. WebAssembly provides a capability-based security layer and eliminates the need to worry about server setup. It is already being used by well-known organizations and platforms, and continues to evolve with upcoming features such as a component model, neural network capabilities, garbage collection, and multithreading. WebAssembly modules can be used in React and as a server tool.

Domain Driven Design with Vue Applications
Top Content
Welcome to this talk on domain-driven design in Vue.js application. Today we are going to look into domain-driven design, its benefits and how it works with Vue.js domain-driven design versus the MVVM model. Vue.js thrives in domain-driven design, a design approach that models software to match a domain. DDD emphasizes understanding business logic and creating a domain that reflects the language and concepts. Integrating DDD in Vue.js offers benefits such as effective modeling of complex business domains, structured code reflecting domain logic, and easier onboarding and ownership.

How to Share Code between React Web App and React Native Mobile App in Monorepo
This presentation focuses on sharing code between React web and React native mobile apps. The speaker demonstrates how to achieve feature parity using a Monorepo with NX. They highlight the importance of sharing non-UI code, such as business logic and state management, through shared libraries. This approach allows the apps to focus on UI code while keeping non-UI code separate. For more details, refer to the speaker's blog post.

Data Loaders - Elevating Data Fetching in Vue
Data loaders provide a solution for complex and repetitive data fetching in Vue.js applications. Using data loaders allows for more independent data fetching and integrates with the navigation cycle. The data loader plug-in adds a navigation guard for data fetching and loading. Lazy loading and caching can be implemented using Pina Colada and Glada loaders. These loaders can improve the performance and speed of data fetching in applications.

WebAssembly is a fast, secure, and portable technology that challenges JavaScript's dominance on the web. It allows for the use of legacy code and expands the scope of functions that can be performed on various devices. WebAssembly can be used for image processing and machine learning, and it has potential applications in UI component libraries. Startups are already incorporating WebAssembly into their web applications, and optimization and performance are key advantages of this technology.

The Next Wave of Web Frameworks is BYOJS
The next wave of web frameworks is BYOJS, covering the history and evolution of building web applications. The evolution of web frameworks and build systems includes popular choices like React, Angular, and Vue, as well as advanced build systems like Webpack and Rollup. The rise of performance measurement tools and the adoption of the Jamstack have led to improved web performance. The Jamstack architecture focuses on pre-rendering pages, decoupling APIs and services, and enhancing pages with JavaScript. Astro, a static site generator with SSR support, promotes the islands architecture and partial hydration.

MIDI in the Browser... Let's Rock the Web!
MIDI is a versatile communication protocol that extends beyond music and opens up exciting possibilities. The Web MIDI API allows remote access to synths and sound modules from web browsers, enabling various projects like music education systems and web audio-based instruments. Developers can connect and use MIDI devices easily, and the Web MIDI API provides raw MIDI messages without semantics. The WebMidi.js library simplifies working with the Web MIDI API and offers a user-friendly interface for musicians and web developers. MIDI on the web has generated significant interest, with potential for commercial growth and endless possibilities for web developers.

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 ;)

This session will focus on Starbeam's universal building blocks. We'll use Starbeam to build a data library that works in multiple frameworks.We'll write a library that caches and updates data, and supports relationships, sorting and filtering.Rather than fetching data directly, it will work with asynchronously fetched data, including data fetched after initial render. Data fetched and updated through web sockets will also work well.All of these features will be reactive, of course.Imagine you filter your data by its title, and then you update the title of a record to match the filter: any output relying on the filtered data will update to reflect the updated filter.In 90 minutes, you'll build an awesome reactive data library and learn a powerful new tool for building reactive systems. The best part: the library works in any framework, even though you don't think about (or depend on) any framework when you built it.
Table of contents- Storing a Fetched Record in a Cell- Storing multiple records in a reactive Map- Reactive iteration is normal iteration- Reactive filtering is normal filtering- Fetching more records and updating the Map- Reactive sorting is normal sorting (is this getting a bit repetitive?)- Modelling cache invalidation as data- Bonus: reactive relationships

The workshop is designed to help Web2 developers start building for Web3 using the Hyperverse. The Hyperverse is an open marketplace of community-built, audited, easy to discover smart modules. Our goal - to make it easy for React developers to build Web3 apps without writing a single line of smart contract code. Think “npm for smart contracts.”
Learn more about the Hyperverse here.
We will go over all the blockchain/crypto basics you need to know to start building on the Hyperverse, so you do not need to have any previous knowledge about the Web3 space. You just need to have React experience.
