It's commonly known that front-end development ecosystem is incredibly fragmented, complicated, opinionated, rapidly changing and downright messy. While chasing another fashion, sound knowledge is easily forgotten, in favour of quick to-do recipes and StackOverflow-Driven-Development.

We aim to bring sanity to this. Truth is, all frameworks, methodologies and tools share similar core concepts and ideas. No-nonsense programming practices still apply, no matter what framework you're currently in love with. Our noble goal is to show you that there's beautiful structure beyond all that noise. Once you grasp it, you'll find yourself at ease even if you need to switch that framework again.

Ultimately, we won't be enforcing any specific framework or methodology. You can learn Angular or React elsewhere, there are plenty good tutorials and courses out there, and we will provide them as well. But right now, we want to show you HOW things work, not just WHAT TO DO to make something work. So be prepared for a good amount of vanilla JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS!

Agenda:

11am-1pm:

0. Front-end development realm - choices, decisions, paradigms

1. Separation of concerns

2. How to name things in HTML and CSS

3. Don't-Repeat-Yourself - introduction to semantic web and Web Components

1pm-2pm : Lunch Break

2pm-5pm :

4. The Single Source of Truth or, simply saying, Application State

5. From model to view - data bindings (and React way of doing it quite differently)

6. Web Frameworks - which one to choose, and why you'll be regretting it, whatever your choice was.

There will be a lot of code and plenty of room for discussion. All the code presented during the workshop will be made available, so you can study and explore it later.

Who is this for?

It would be nice if you bring in prior knowledge of front-end web development domain. You don't have to be an experienced programmer but acquaintance with HTML, client-side JavaScript and CSS is recommended. If you're not a programmer, you might still find the course entertaining. Just don't expect that we will be spending time on explaining the very basics, that's all.
