ABOUT

Web Components SF is hosting its first ever virtual meetup!

Web Components SF is a meetup to connect web developers working with web components and related platform features, libraries, and tools. Speakers will share tips and knowledge from across the ecosystem.

SPEAKERS

*Kristján Oddsson, GitHub

How we use Web Components to build github.com

In this talk, Kristján will quickly go over the history of the front-end architecture for github.com and how the Web Systems team is currently focused on using Web Components to abstract common behaviours and patterns into reusable components. We'll examine some of the existing open source Web Components that make up github.com today and what we are excited about in the future.

Kristján helps engineers at GitHub write readable, performant & accessible front end components and patterns as part of the Web Systems team.

• Westbrook Johnson, Adobe

What's After The New Hawtness?
"Actually Doing the Work and, maybe, Raising the Valleys to Meet the Peaks"

Web Components were first announced at Frontiers Conference in October of 2011, so, if you haven't started to do so yet, they can officially be called almost 10 years old. My first GitHub commit of Web Component (and Polymer) centric code was made in August of 2014, you can even still check it out, but be gentle... And now, as of the beginning of this year, or the beginning of this summer, depending on your release channel, web components are finally supported natively across all evergreen browsers. Somewhere in the middle of all that, the broader family of specifications that make up "web components" went from the bleeding edge of the future where amazing new things are possible, to "just another tool in the tool belt". I don't know about you, but for me, the trip in between has been quite the rush. Coming back down to Earth, it's time to make plans on how we go from constantly asking "what's next for web components?" (though, there always is something), to "this is how I made the web a better place with web components, today".

Westbrook is a Web Software Engineer for Adobe's Digital Imaging group. There he works to bring professional quality image editing to the web and leads the Spectrum Web Components team, developing a web component implementation of Spectrum, Adobe's design system, to projects across the company as well as the open-source community. On the web, Westbrook is a core team member of https://open-wc.org/, providing the community with well-known and experience-tested recommendations for their web component projects.

• Q&A Panel

We'll have the speakers and web components experts answer questions from the audience.
