Speeding Up Your React App With Less Javascript

Get ready for an annual deep dive into the latest trends in React and Web development. Learn from engineers behind the framework ecosystem and early adopters at the main React Conference in the UK.The concept of the event is both about covering all you need to catch up on in the React ecosystem, combined with deep technical exploration of the latest architectural trends, new feature adoption, and efficient ways to solve complex problems.Engage in discussion rooms, hallway track with experts, hands-on practical workshops, and tens of insightful talks. Engineers of any level are welcome but be prepared for hardcore.

Let's talk about hydration and the problems it creates. Resumability is an alternative to hydration which does not force eager execution of client side code resulting in instant on applications even as the application scales in coplexity.

Too much JavaScript is getting you down? New frameworks promising no JavaScript look interesting, but you have an existing React application to maintain. What if Qwik React is your answer for faster applications startup and better user experience? Qwik React allows you to easily turn your React application into a collection of islands, which can be SSRed and delayed hydrated, and in some instances, hydration skipped altogether. And all of this in an incremental way without a rewrite.

Building instant-on web applications at scale have been elusive. Real-world sites need tracking, analytics, and complex user interfaces and interactions. We always start with the best intentions but end up with a less-than-ideal site. QwikCity is a new meta-framework that allows you to build large-scale applications with constant startup-up performance. We will look at how to build a QwikCity application and what makes it unique. The workshop will show you how to set up a QwikCitp project. How routing works with layout. The demo application will fetch data and present it to the user in an editable form. And finally, how one can use authentication. All of the basic parts for any large-scale applications. Along the way, we will also look at what makes Qwik unique, and how resumability enables constant startup performance no matter the application complexity.

We use frameworks to make building our applications easier. Yet as the application scales, its performance suffers. There is no one thing, but rather a death by thousand cuts. Developers are under pressure, and they often choose the easy and quick path to deliver a feature rather than the performant path. The performant path is usually more work. So let's look at these two paths and imagine a world where the performant path is the quick and easy path.
