Talk description: Web Components and Shadow DOM are making the world safe for composition of UI widgets on the web, and doing it in a way that lets you say what you mean in your markup. MDV, likewise, is adding the ability to do powerful data-driven UI without tens of K of JS library overhead. Come learn about the future of the web platform from one of the leaders and designers of the project that's making these changes a reality.
