React Query: From Zero to Hero

React Query is often described as the missing data-fetching library for React, but in more technical terms, it makes fetching, caching, synchronizing, and updating server state in your React applications a breeze.

In this talk, Mark Bello will walk you through React Query compared to some legacy patterns for managing server state in a React app, from overall project structure, basic CRUD-type operations, and more complex operations like pre-populating caches and synchronizing queries with mutations. You’ll leave it with a better understanding of why it’s exciting, and how to use it. A good time will be had by all.

tRPC: Move Fast and Break Nothing

TypeScript is extremely popular nowadays but making sure the front end and back end speak the same schema is still a challenge. tRPC tries to help with that. In this talk, we're going to explore what tRPC is, how it compares with other solutions, and dive deep into a demo application showcasing its power to help keep types in sync on your entire application.
