TALKS

“Rapid development & testing with Apollo and Lunar” with Mark Faga
@markjfaga (https://twitter.com/markjfaga)

Apollo makes it easy to get up and running with new projects that integrate GraphQL APIs. Learn how you can streamline the development cycle of your UI with their suite of tools without having to sacrifice the ability to unit test your project. Then, take a look as we explore how you can expand your test suite with Cypress.io to write integration tests for your GraphQL app with the assistance of Lunar, a deterministic mocking framework that integrates directly with Apollo!

"World-Wide JavaScript" with Andy Mockler

Internationalization is hard enough to spell, let alone implement. Let the browser do some of the work by using its built-in APIs! We will walk through some real-world examples and talk about a few of the hairier edge cases the browser still can't handle.
