🎙 Talks

1. 💡💡 Learning by experimenting: Vue 3 Reactivity to build Web Components - Andrew Beng

About the talk:
With JS framework/library fatigue at its peak, creating yet-another-JS-library is hardly something the everyday developer would want to check off their TODO list. But what if there's something to be gained in this by diving into the APIs of fundamental web technologies and popular frameworks?

About the speaker:
Andrew is a software engineer currently focusing on frontend development for solutions in the news and media space for Factorial, a digital agency based in Hamburg, Germany.

2. 📸 📸 A picture is worth a thousand…kilobytes. - Tamas Piros

A picture is in fact worth a thousand words, but it should not be worth a thousand kilobytes.
