JavaScriptRefactoring code without tests is risky. But to write tests, you often need to refactor the code first. How do you deal with that paradox?
I will show how to reduce the risk, even when missing tests. We will focus on refactorings I’ve found particularly useful when dealing with legacy codebases. You may know some names but probably don’t know the proper moves. Let me teach you how I do it.
JavaScriptWe've strayed too far from the simplicity and power of HTML forms. It’s time to undo the damage. Once relegated to basic data collection, forms offer a surprising depth of functionality that's being rediscovered by developers and embraced by modern frameworks like Astro, Fresh, Remix, and Next.js.
Let’s rediscover the power of HTML forms and how they should be leveraged in modern web application development.
JavaScriptThe Core Web Vitals - Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift - were chosen because they are a close proxy for how good or bad a user experience is. There are some things to be aware of... Are they available on all page types, or across browsers, when do they become available, how do we capture them, etc.
In this talk we'll understand what the Core Web Vitals are and how to make use of them.
JavaScriptYes, you can run multiple threads in JavaScript, using worker threads! This talk will first of all explain how JavaScript feels multi-threaded, but is actually single-threaded. It will discuss in which cases this is a problem, and then delve into the main course: worker threads and how they solve the problem of multiple threads. It will also discuss how to communicate between the threads using atomics, shared memory, and other constructs.
JavaScriptNative ESM support for Node.js was a chance for the Node.js project to release official support for enhancing the module loading experience, to enable use cases such as on the fly transpilation, module stubbing, support for loading modules from HTTP, and monitoring.
We will look at the architecture of ESM loading in Node.js, and discuss the loader API that supports enhancing it. We will also look into advanced features
JavaScriptTired of rolling back the feature because a hotfix is coming through? Want to get away from code freezes to fit an arbitrary deadline? Feature flags allow us to release code when we're ready and then turn it on when business is ready. There's subtleties and nuance here. Join us on this journey with feature flags, talk about the options for cloud-based services vs. built-in systems, and best practices for testing and retiring feature flags.
JavaScriptWhen you're just starting out, often web dev classes and tutorials start with "design a schema". This one, tiny mistake may be the root cause of billions of dollars lost, time wasted, and unnecessary complexity embedded in countless applications

JavaScriptMany web developers choose features based on if they're supported in all major browsers for maximum reach. What if you didn't need to wait for support from all browsers? In this session, we'll explore the idea of using WebAssembly as a polyfill for the browsers that don't yet have the desired feature. As an example, we'll create a Web Component that uses WebAssembly to convert an image to a different type, on the fly, if needed.
JavaScriptWe've all got Javascript fatigue. There are new libraries, frameworks, meta-frameworks and even runtimes. Against this backdrop of constant churn is the unlikely hero we all need - HTMX. At the outset, this library looks like a practical joke. But HTMX is a well-thought-out library. We'll understand the basics such as triggers, targets, swaps and indicators. We'll even build highly interactive applications using animations and Server-Sent Events.
