Explore a world of hardware the likes of which you've never seen before! This presentation will contain live demos using both local robots and those in production from across the country. While the technology being used is advanced, the approach is accessible to anyone whose used JavaScript before.The talk covers the architecture of WebRTC as a stack of technologies for enabling peer-to-peer communication, as well as how it can be leveraged for interacting with embedded hardware and robotics from the browser, all using JavaScript APIs. My goal is to make programming devices more accessible to web developers and demonstrate a practical solution for taking hobby projects from your desk to production. 

Forms are a core part of many applications and complex actions are often broken up into multiple forms as steps in this workflow. Using React’s Context API and a conventional state machine, we can build a reusable system for building these wizards and make the web a bit more magical.
