Details
Dear Frontiers,
I am happy to announce our next FrontMuc meetup Spring edition, which will be held on April 9th at Satellytes's amazing office, Sendlinger Straße 52, 80331 Munich. It will be an On-Site event only.
18:30 to 19:00 check-in/registration, food, drinks, kindly offered by our host.
19:05 - 19:10 Welcome words by Uliana and Satellytes Team.
19:15 Talk 1: Felix Hofmann, Frontend Engineer @Satellytes
Title: Beyond Compliance: Practical Frontend Accessibility for 2025 and the Future
Description: Accessibility is not just a legal requirement - it improves everyone's user experience. In this talk, we’ll explore why inclusive design matters, how the upcoming 2025 regulations (EAA & BFSG) will impact digital products, and the core principles of WCAG.
In the hands-on part, we’ll make a real frontend component accessible by applying modern technologies and best practices. You’ll learn essential techniques like keyboard navigation, screen reader optimization, and building interfaces that work for all users.
Whether you’re new to accessibility or looking to refine your skills, this talk will equip you with practical knowledge to create more inclusive web experiences. Let’s build a web that works for everyone!
19:45 Talk 2:
Philip Pfaffe & Jack Franklin - Chrome Dev Tools Team
Title: What's new in Chrome Dev Tools for performance, workspace, and CSS
Abstract: They'll walk us through improvements of the performance panel, workspace support, and CSS Custom Property Debugging in Chrome, which we all need to use as developers.
20:15 Talk 3:
Jacob Groß, Senior Performance Engineer @Framer
Talk title: Breaking Up with SVG-in-JS
Abstract: Sometimes, there are images rent-free in your head. With the difference, this time it's not just in your head, it is in your JavaScript bundle: SVGs. In this talk, we'll take a look at how JavaScript engines parse and execute JavaScript files, why we don't want SVGs in our JS bundles, and what else we can use to keep the flexibility of SVG components when using popular libraries like React.
21:00 - 21:30 Networking
21:30 - Closing of the event, Networking 15-20min
!Important update!
To cultivate a respectful signup ratio for ordering food/drinks and arranging the seats according to the max.capacity of the venue, and a massive increase in the pricing model of the Meetup platform since June 2024 (here is more info, Standard: 174$/yearly or Pro: 282$/6 months). So I added a 1€ fee for each person who is willing to support FrontMuc efforts.
