In today's fast-paced development environment, a developer's attention is constantly in high demand. To achieve peak productivity, developers need to maintain a state of flow, seamlessly accessing the knowledge and tools required to solve complex problems. However, the reality often involves juggling multiple tools, leading to frequent context switching and reduced efficiency.This session will explore how AI-enabled tools can revolutionize your development workflow, helping you become a 10x developer. We will look into the three primary pillars of development: coding in your IDE, using collaboration tools, and researching in your browser. By integrating AI tools, you can streamline these activities, minimizing context switching and maximizing focus.Through practical demos and real-world examples, this session will show you how to harness the power of AI to handle the range of context you encounter daily, ultimately boosting your productivity and allowing you to focus on what you do best—coding. Moreover if your company has concerns regarding data security while using the typical AI tools, you don't need to worry. This workshop will specifically focus on using AI tools that run on the user's device and all of the processing happens locally, thus for large enterprises, this solves the biggest information/security challenge. Date and time: TBD. Remote via Zoom.

"Test, Code, Repeat: Master AI-Assisted Development" introduces developers to a transformative way of coding with AI as a collaborative partner.

SQLite is having its Renaissance. It's being used in many projects and companies. Bun runtime has its implementation of sqlite, Turso is a product on top of SQLite, and the Ruby on Rails framework dropped all its dependency on Redis in favor o SQLite for things like Caching and Queues.Node.js version 22.5.0 introduced the `node:sqlite` module. It's an experimental module that allows you to use SQLite in a very Node.js way, without any external dependency.In this workshop, you will learn how to use SQLite in Node.js. We will explore the current `node:sqlite` features and how to use them. We will also explore the future of SQLite in Node.js.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but they often lack real-time knowledge. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) bridges this gap by fetching relevant information from external sources before generating responses. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to build an efficient RAG pipeline in Node.js using RSS feeds as a data source. We’ll compare different vector databases (FAISS, pgvector, Elasticsearch), embedding methods, and testing strategies. We’ll also cover the crucial role of chunking—splitting and structuring data effectively for better retrieval performance.Prerequisites- Good understanding of JavaScript or TypeScript- Experience with Node.js and API development- Basic knowledge of databases and LLMs is helpful but not required
Agenda📢 Introduction to RAG💻 Demo - Example Application (RAG with RSS Feeds)📕 Vector Databases (FAISS, pgvector, Elasticsearch) & Embeddings🛠️ Chunking Strategies for Better Retrieval🔬 Testing & Evaluating RAG Pipelines (Precision, Recall, Performance)🏊‍♀️ Performance & Optimization Considerations🥟 Summary & Q&A

Together, we'll set up a Next.js website and explore its server-side features to build performant apps.

In this workshop, we will dive deeper into features React Query has to offer. We will get an understanding of how React Query works under the hood as well as how to write React Query code that scales. Note: You should have prior knowledge about React Query if you attend this workshop.

React and its ecosystem grows every year. New tools, new patterns, new concepts. This workshop covers the latest trends in the React development world. If you feel that you know how to use it but there is something more you could learn, this workshop is for you. We'll be going through the fundamentals, composition patterns, state management, styling workflows, routing, server-side rendering and components.

Malicious code is out to get you. Can you keep your app working as expected and hold on to your secrets? Come to this workshop and try!The entire workshop will be delivered as bite-sized hands-on exercises where increasingly advanced threats are presented and you get to defend. 
No matter if you're concerned with malicious npm packages or building software to run other people's code, techniques presented in this workshop can be used to isolate JavaScript at runtime and protect against prototype poisoning.
We'll explore techniques allowing cooperation with packages that intend to steal your secrets and mess with built-in functionality of JavaScript via prototype-poisoning.Another part of the workshop will focus on using tools to isolate code and scale the defensive coding practice up for larger codebases.
If you're not dealing with security-critical code, it's a great opportunity to expand your awareness of rarely explored areas of JavaScript knowledge.

In the past few years, there have been a large number of generative AI use cases and adoption has grown increasingly. A large number of web and JS applications now leverage large language models (LLMs), vector search / RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) for building better user experiences. Now the tide is shifting, and we have entered the era of AI agents. This is a promising field which combines the different generative AI usecases and helps to simplify the process of interacting with Gen AI by essentially making agents act like humans and makes interactions feel more human like to solve problems in an automated fashion.In this workshop, while we give a quick over view of LLMs, RAG, we will dive deeper into concepts of AI Agents such has how one can leverage LLMs for specific tasks. How can we include tool calling / function calling in AI Agents. Thus showing how an AI Agent is a system that is capable of independently deciding which functions or data sources to used to efficiently execute users' orders.We will show how to develop an AI agent that runs purely on the browser vs running them using cloud.  This workshop is for javaScript developers, AI enthusiasts, and tech innovators who want to integrate the use of AI within web applications to create intelligent and interactive app experiences.

Tests first, code last!How to develop your frontend that the code isn't falling apart? How to make it scary free to deliver your work results? How to battle bugs that are chasing you at every step you make?I am going to answer these questions during the workshop and show how to follow TDD at React applications.To showcase the approach I am going to use Cypress, React, MobX, and even Dev Containers. These tools can be replaced by others that are in use in your projects today. Here and now tooling is not so important.In spite of the title the workshop is going to be useful not only for frontend developers. You can benefit from it even working in a different area of development because the key here is a mindset of how to make reliable applications through testing.
