Vue.js Live Conference

Vue.js London 2023

Today's Talk discusses the hidden costs of open source software and the importance of estate planning for open source stacks. It highlights the challenges faced by product managers in terms of library upgrades and conflicting priorities. The Talk also emphasizes the steps to establish an end-of-life policy for open source stacks, including monitoring, inventorying, ranking, and outlining upgrade plans. It further emphasizes the need to consider risk, dependencies, and business impact when identifying support dates and upgrade options. The Talk concludes by stressing the importance of being proactive in formalizing an end-of-life policy to avoid costly migration projects.

There is a cost that many companies don’t consider when using open source. It can cost a lot of money and time to keep upgrading sunsetted versions.Open source is free for companies to use until the author sunsets a version.These are some best practices that we we recommend when considering open source adoption:<ul><li>        - Who is the author? Do they have a strong reputation that is going to be around for a long time? Do they have the resources to support an enterprise library?</li><li>        - How much online support is there in the community for this library? How many dependencies are on this library?</li><li>        - Does it have an end of life policy? What’s going to happen when they rev on a version? Will companies have an option to stay on older versions for a long time?</li><li>        - What should you consider when migrating to a supported framework after a version has been sunsetted?</li></ul>

The Hidden Cost of Open Source

JS Nation

JSNation 2023

The Talk discusses building and supporting the JavaScript community, the role of companies in open source, the importance of time and collaboration, reporting bugs with kindness, the challenges of developer relations, the role of maintainers and documentation, the importance of inclusivity, embracing change in project development, supporting ourselves and the community, and finding hope for a better community.

Open source has won, and it's the center of gravity for our community. Whether we're contributors to open source projects, commercial product engineers, companies, developer advocates, or something else, we're all a part of this community. And we owe it to each other, and to ourselves, to leave the community better than we found it. But how do we do that? What responsibilities do companies have to the community? Or developer advocates? Or OSS contributors? How are we failing those responsibilities, and how can we do better? In short, what do we owe to each other? Let's find out.

What We Owe to Each Other

In this Talk, Daniel Kelly discusses patterns for large-scale Vue.js app development, emphasizing the importance of following standards and using officially recommended tooling. He highlights the Vue.js style guide as a valuable resource for styling standards and suggests using TypeScript and Nuxt 3 to enhance development capabilities. He also mentions the benefits of having a naming convention for routes and the concept of wrapping third-party dependencies for flexibility. Additionally, he mentions the app-icon component for a generic icon solution and the advantages of interacting with backends via an SDK.

What is the best way to structure a Vue.js application so that it can scale to meet all your users' needs? There are multiple patterns established by the Vue community and the programming community at large that can be adopted in order to make your codebases more predictable, maintainable, and extendable.

React Day Berlin

React Day Berlin 2022

The Talk discusses the new React Native architecture and its introduction to the open source community. The new architecture aims to bring React 18 to mobile and native platforms, while eliminating the Bridge component bottleneck. It includes core concepts like the new renderer (fabric), native module system (turbo modules), codegen for type safety, and bridge-less mode. The architecture simplifies the development process for web developers, requires changes in build tools, and recommends the use of the Hermes JavaScript engine. It also emphasizes the importance of exploring new APIs, migrating libraries, and providing feedback to improve the ecosystem.

At the end of 2021, we successfully rolled out the New React Native Architecture in the Facebook app. Now, it’s time to empower every React Native developer on the globe to use the New React Native Architecture, both the new Fabric renderer and the new TurboModule system. But migrating an entire ecosystem to a New Architecture is no easy task. To support the whole community in this endeavor, we lined up a set of tools and materials that will help both app and library developers to join us in this journey. In the talk, we will present how the New React Native Architecture looks in the OSS space. We will discuss the impact this will have on developing React Native projects. Lastly, we will cover what we learned from the React Native New Architecture migration at Meta, and how you can tackle your migration in your organization.

JSNation Live

JSNation Live 2021

Medellin, once the most dangerous city in the world, has transformed into the Silicon Valley of Latin America through technology and community inclusion. Colombia's tech community revolution began with the establishment of the first technology meetup in 2011 and has now become one of the largest Spanish-speaking tech communities in the world. Colombia has prioritized inclusion, diversity, and accessibility to build successful communities, resulting in recognition as the most innovative city by the BBC and significant startup investments. Starting small but with a focus on inclusion can have a significant impact in changing perceptions and creating a better future for all.

In this talk, you can learn the journey of the creation of those communities, the challenges, lessons, and insights on how to transform a community in a developing nation around technology and how it can set the stage for other communities to build upon. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>
