🍞 🍞 BreadTalk - Building an intuitive baking tool in VueJS

Speaker: Crystal Tee (https://github.com/cryizzle)
"I'm an Enterprise Engineer at Facebook and I have ~5years of web development experience as a Full Stack Engineer. Prior to Facebook I have worked in companies specialising in NLP and Video Games, which has exposed me to several languages / frameworks such as ReactJS, VueJS, AngularJS, Spring, Java, PHP and C++. I'm also a baker / pianist / digital artist during my free time!"

About the talk:
Cystal will be sharing experience of building a helper tool for baking (a personal project using VueJS).

💎 💎 Migrating from Ruby on Rails to a JavaScript SPA

Speaker: Weiyuan Liu (https://github.com/weiyuan-lane)
"I'm a developer at Rakuten Viki! I also do stuff like volunteering for GDG Cloud Singapore and for Techladies.

I write about random tech stuff on my blog, about frontend things, Cloud technologies, DevOps."

About the talk:
At Viki, it's been a year since we starting migrating from our old RoR application to Next.js . It's a gargantuan task to move a codebase that is 7 - 8 years old, and we're still in the midst of doing that. In this sharing, we would share the pointers on how we started this entire journey (frontend, backend, DevOps), and what we might have done right or wrong.

🚀🚀 React-ing faster: How to optimize your components for performance?

Speaker: Akshata Mohanty (https://github.com/akshatamohanty)
"I am a Fullstack Engineer at Rakuten Viki by day, an AI adventurer by night and a wannabe Muay Thai fighter... in my dreams."

About the talk:
React is fast by design. But what happens when it does get slow? How do you write components to extract every inch of performance? In this talk, we will walkthrough the process of diagnosing and optimizing a chat application, to enable it to handle hundreds of messages without lagging. We will first try Dev Tools to identify performance bottlenecks, then catch a glimpse of React's rendering process and finally use optimization strategies to make React even faster and more efficient.
