Front End York - Jamstack, PWA and The Serverless Web

Venue - We'll be in the Craven room at City of York Council offices

• The Almighty JAMstack
  Jamie Bradley - @jamiebradley234

Front End Development has changed dramatically over the last few years thanks to browsers becoming more advanced and the rise of powerful JavaScript libraries like React. As front end engineers we can do so much with our websites and web apps. In this talk I will discuss ways that we can use JAMstack to our advantage and develop very powerful experiences. I will also walk through previous examples and discuss things that I learned from the solutions that I used.

• Making GitLab a PWA
  Sam Beckham - @samdbeckham

Turning a large scale website into a PWA doesn't have to be hard. In this talk, I will show you how I made GitLab into a PWA with less than 100 lines of code.

• Are you being servered? — Exploring a “serverless” web powered by Netlify
  Phil Hawksworth - @philhawksworth

JAMstack is an emerging term which describes an approach to architecting and delivering sites as pre-rendered assets, and where necessary, enhancing them with JavaScript and services via APIs

There has never been a better time for a fresh look at how we approach building and delivering web sites and applications. From the careful selection of JavaScript libraries and frameworks, to the use of emerging tools, services, and platforms.

In this talk we’ll explore how an application can be built to include pre-rendered user interface elements and dynamic APIs backed with data services. All without needing to manage or maintain a server.
