A word from our sponsor:

19:20 - 19:40
🎤 Server Side Rendering with Next.js (GR)
👨🏼‍🏫 Charis Giaralis Front End Engineer @ ARHS Developments Hellas

Traditional React apps are rendered on the client-side. This is not always optimal for both the user experience and the different search engines' crawlers. The solution is simple: Server-side render or better yet generate your pages during build time! Next.js is a framework designed for that purpose. Initially render your React app at the server and still have it served as a React app to the client!

About Charis:
Charis is a software engineer and a JavaScript enthusiast. He loves the declarative nature and the flexibility of React almost the same as he loves spicy pizzas.

🎤 Put GraphQL in your toolbox (GR)
👨🏼‍🏫 Panagiotis Kapros Full Stack Software Engineer @ COVIS
GraphQL is a query language for APIs that we increasingly see being adopted by the industry. In this talk, we begin with a gentle introduction to the technology and discuss the key benefits that it brings to the table. We will see how you can enhance your development workflow in React by utilizing GraphQL and Hasura.

Q&A

20:10 - 20:30
🎤 Enter to the Micro-Frontends zone (GR)
👨🏼‍🏫 Panagiotis Adamopoulos, Principal Software Engineer / Solutions Architect @ INTRASOFT International
One of the implications of modern enterprise web applications is the fact that we have to integrate with various environments, use different frameworks and technologies and optimize our apps for performance and security. With the overall complexity of our apps growing this task could be hard and only a stable architecture can solve such situations efficiently. So this talk is about setting up the architecture of enterprise React projects, using micro-frontends and cross frameworks implementations.

About Panagiotis A.:
Panagiotis is expert in JEE, Spring, Python, Django, Symfony, Drupal, Angular, React and has strong experience in specification analysis and user documentation of complex software projects. He is also certified in various technologies, ambassador and contributor of several Open Source projects like Vaadin Flow, Drupal, OracleJET, Prestashop etc. and member of Drupal Association and DrupalCon North America Commitee Member.
