🎤 TALKS

- Alice’s Adventures in Memoryland or how memory is managed in JavaScript
by Kateryna Porshnieva (Head of Developer Relations @ Veriff)
Eventually the code we write becomes a bunch of 0s and 1s, and one day I went down the rabbit hole trying to understand how exactly that happens. Through JavaScript engine, heap, stack, garbage collection, references, memory addresses and so on. I found this really fascinating, so I want to share it with you in this visualised guide to memory management in JavaScript.

- How Svelte works for Reactaholics
by Ilia Chernetskii (Javascript Engineer @ Evolution)
React and its approach with VirtualDOM has almost become the standard in web development. However, the developers of Svelte offer a completely different way. As a result, applications in Svelte work faster than similar ones written for example in React. In 2021 Svelte was voted the most loved web framework by stackoverflow. Why is it so popular, let's figure it out!

As always, we reserve time for any Q&A and discussions inspired by the topics!
