17:30 Goodbye Sequential React, Hello Concurrency
by Marcus Haaland @ Bekk
For more than 10 years React has been safe and predictable. One state change, one render.
Now that is past.
With concurrency in React 18 and 19 we got a new way of thinking — rendering is queued, prioritized and can even be aborted.
Sounds confusing? Well, it also reflects the reality of our users: they multitask, don't see everything as equally important, and don't finish everything they start.
When we dare to let go of the old, sequential mindset, we can use the new tools to create applications that feel faster — even when they really aren't.
In this talk, we explore what concurrency in React really means, why it changes everything, and how you can start using it on Monday.
18:00 The New Frontend Toolkit: Dialog, and Next-Gen CSS
by Eric Veliyulin @ Forte
Modern web standards are giving frontend developers powerful new tools to work with. With the Popover API and the dialog element, it’s now possible to build modals, menus, and other interactive components directly in HTML—without relying on third-party libraries or complex workarounds.
In this talk, Eric will demonstrate how these features can be applied in real projects, explore the scenarios where they work best, and point out the common pitfalls you’ll want to avoid. We’ll also take a look at some of the latest innovations in CSS, and see how they combine with these new HTML capabilities to unlock cleaner, more elegant, and more flexible user interfaces.
This is the second part of Erics talk from the last event, where he talked about Popover API, this time he will dive into Dialog.
18:30 Houston, we’re coding 3D! 🚀 (Does Three.js have to be rocket science in 2026?)
by Henrik Sissener @ NoA Ignite
For many frontend developers, terms like "vectors," "matrices," and "WebGL" still trigger a cold sweat. We are used to working with flat surfaces, so the idea of introducing a Z-axis often feels like it requires a master's degree in rocket science.
But relax. It’s nearly 2026, and you no longer need to be a NASA engineer to make things float in the browser.
In this session, we will break down the fundamentals of 3D, explore the modern tools at our disposal, and take a closer look at how Three.js makes the third dimension accessible to everyone.
