Building a modern web app is pretty complicated! You need to make pretty things! That are fast! But also useful! Ideally offline! And can accommodate many users!

This talk will be about Preact-cli’s third major release. Every PWA built or started with preact-cli so far has been promised with a perfect 💯lighthouse score. This talk will be about how the next version will improve the perf of the web apps even further.

Development isn't just for professionals, it's for learners, tinkerers, and activists, too. Using tools that are more approachable not only empowers a broader group of people, it also improves the potential for working teams.

Relax and recharge with us on the third floor for a sit-down meal

Join GitHub or Contentful after lunch for a 1-hour workshop.

Content Management in the JAMStack - 2nd floor

Content management might be one of the trickiest parts of the JAMStack. Building a workflow that lets non-technical colleagues make contributions with minimal effort while also enabling developers to implement changes independent of the editorial workflow is critical for any project. In this workshop, Shy Ruparel will walk through how you can use Contentful to manage content for your website, integrate content model changes into your workflow and combine content management with the testing phases of your deployment by incorporating Contentful into your continuous delivery pipeline.

Automating your workflow with GitHub Apps - 21st floor

Join us for a hands-on workshop learning how to build GitHub Apps—tools that can help make you and your team more productive with GitHub. You’ll leave with a working GitHub App, deployed to a serverless function and ready to use, and the confidence to continue building the tools you need to be more productive with your open source project, or at your work.

The internet is, without metaphor, just a bunch of servers tied together with wires. Without servers, we'd have no way to share our creations with the world.

Current trends in software and backend architecture have been evolving towards a more loosely coupled more granular design. I am sure most of you have heard of microservice based architectures.

freeCodeCamp.org started out as a traditional Node/Express web app. But as our nonprofit's community grew, speed and reliability became more important.
