Coding assistants are already changing the way we develop code, and in several years they are expected to completely change how developers interact with code and write it. In this workshop, I'll share tips and best practices on using such tools as we develop the production-ready app with Zencoder.

Join us as we journey from React frontend development to fullstack development with Next.js. During this workshop, we'll follow along the official Next.js Learn tutorial with Eric Burel, professional trainer and author of NextPatterns.dev. Together, we'll set up a Next.js website and explore its server-side features to build performant apps.

The way we write code is fundamentally changing. Instead of getting stuck in nested loops and implementation details, imagine focusing purely on architecture and creative problem-solving while your AI pair programmer handles the execution. In this hands-on workshop, I'll show you how to leverage Cline (an autonomous coding agent that recently hit 1M VS Code downloads) to dramatically accelerate your development workflow through a practice we call "vibe coding" - where humans focus on high-level thinking and AI handles the implementation.You'll discover:The fundamental principles of "vibe coding" and how it differs from traditional developmentHow to architect solutions at a high level and have AI implement them accuratelyLive demo: Building a production-grade caching system in Go that saved us $500/weekTechniques for using AI to understand complex codebases in minutes instead of hoursBest practices for prompting AI agents to get exactly the code you wantCommon pitfalls to avoid when working with AI coding assistantsStrategies for using AI to accelerate learning and reduce dependency on senior engineersHow to effectively combine human creativity with AI implementation capabilitiesWhether you're a junior developer looking to accelerate your learning or a senior engineer wanting to optimize your workflow, you'll leave this workshop with practical experience in AI-assisted development that you can immediately apply to your projects. Through live coding demos and hands-on exercises, you'll learn how to leverage Cline to write better code faster while focusing on what matters - solving real problems.

In this workshop I’ll cover a repeatable process on how to spin up full stack apps in Cursor.  Expect to understand techniques such as using GPT to create product requirements, database schemas, roadmaps and using those in notes to generate checklists to guide app development.  We will dive further in on how to fix hallucinations/ errors that occur, useful prompts to make your app look and feel modern, approaches to get every layer wired up and more!  By the end expect to be able to run your own AI generated full stack app on your machine!

Learn widely used React patterns, including HOCs, Compound Components, Provider Patterns, Functions as Child, and Portals, to write cleaner, more efficient code and create scalable, maintainable applications.Overview In this workshop, viewers will learn about key React patterns that can make their code more efficient, readable, and maintainable. We'll introduce each pattern, explain how it works, and demonstrate practical examples. By the end of the session, participants will have a solid understanding of how to use these patterns in their projects.Learning GoalsHOCs Compound Components Provider Patterns Functions as Child Portals Modularity Maintainability Real-world Application.

Leveraging reactjs to create reusable microfrontends addressing challenges and common pitfalls.

Calling all React developers! Join us for an immersive 4-hour workshop diving deep into React Server Components and Server Actions. Discover how these game-changing technologies are revolutionizing web development and learn how to harness their full potential to build lightning-fast, efficient applications.

Explore the world of React Server Components, seamlessly blending server-side rendering with client-side interactivity for unmatched performance and user experience. Dive into React Server Actions to see how they combine client-side interactivity with server-side logic, making it easier to develop interactive applications without traditional API constraints.

Get hands-on experience with practical exercises, real-world examples, and expert guidance on implementing these technologies into your projects. Learn essential topics such as the differences between Server and Client Components, optimizing data fetching, passing data effectively, and maximizing performance with new React hooks like useActionState, useFormStatus and useOptimistic.

Whether you're new to React or a seasoned pro, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and tools to elevate your web development skills. Stay ahead of the curve and master the cutting-edge technology of React 19. Don't miss out - sign up now and unleash the full power of React!

In this hands-on workshop, you will be equipped with the tools to effectively test the security of web applications. This course is designed for beginners as well as those already familiar with web application security testing who wish to expand their knowledge. In a world where websites play an increasingly central role, ensuring the security of these technologies is crucial. Understanding the attacker's perspective and knowing the appropriate defense mechanisms have become essential skills for IT professionals.This workshop, led by the renowned trainer Gregor Biswanger, will guide you through the use of industry-standard pentesting tools such as Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and the professional pentesting framework Metasploit. You will learn how to identify and exploit common vulnerabilities in web applications. Through practical exercises and challenges, you will be able to put your theoretical knowledge into practice and expand it. In this course, you will acquire the fundamental skills necessary to protect your websites from attacks and enhance the security of your systems.

Knowledge of AI tooling is critical for future-proofing the careers of React developers, and the Vercel suite of AI tools is an approachable on-ramp. In this course, we’ll take a closer look at the Vercel AI SDK and how this can help React developers build streaming interfaces with JavaScript and Next.js. We’ll also incorporate additional 3rd party APIs to build and deploy a music visualization app.
Topics:- Creating a React Project with Next.js- Choosing a LLM- Customizing Streaming Interfaces- Building Routes- Creating and Generating Components - Using Hooks (useChat, useCompletion, useActions, etc)

TypeScript has a powerful type system with all sorts of fancy features for representing wild and wacky JavaScript states. But the syntax to do so isn't always straightforward, and the error messages aren't always precise in telling you what's wrong. Let's dive into how many of TypeScript's more powerful features really work, what kinds of real-world problems they solve, and how to wrestle the type system into submission so you can write truly excellent TypeScript code.

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 🤐)
