## Full Agenda
Don’t believe the rumors: JavaScript is multi-threaded | Gil Tayar Software Developer @Microsoft
Don’t believe the rumors: JavaScript is multi-threaded
Yes, you can run multiple threads in JavaScript, using worker threads! This talk will first of all explain how JavaScript feels multi-threaded, but is actually single-threaded. It will discuss in which cases this is a problem, and then delve into the main course: worker threads and how they solve the problem of multiple threads. It will also discuss how to communicate between the threads using atomics, shared memory, and other constructs.
Yes, JavaScript is async, and thus feels multi-threaded, but once in a while you will need true multi-threads. This talk is there for you.

Who likes unit testing? You code, let GenAI DevTools worry about the test | Sharon Barr, Founder & CEO of Early
GenAI DevTools are revolutionizing software testing by automating tedious tasks of writing test code, allowing developers to focus on application code while ensuring higher-quality software. These AI-driven tools make test generation easier and faster, transforming the testing process into a seamless part of the development workflow. Come and learn how.

microservices | Dmitry Porotov Full Stack Developer
