What does it take to boost the web performance of our websites and applications in 2022? How do we deal with web fonts, images and videos, third-party scripts, CSS and JavaScript delivery in times of Core Web Vitals and HTTP/3? In this session, we’ll look into some of the useful front-end techniques and tools to keep in mind when optimizing for performance and Core Web Vitals in 2022.
Vitaly loves beautiful content and does not give up easily. Born in Minsk, Belarus, he studied computer science and mathematics in Germany. While writing algebra proofs and preparing for software engineering at nights in the kitchen, at the same time he discovered passion for typography, interface design and writing.
After working as a freelance designer and developer for 6 years, he co-founded Smashing Magazine back in 2006, a leading online magazine for designers and developers. His curiosity drove him from interface design to front-end to performance optimization to accessibility and back to user experience over all the years.
Vitaly is the author, co-author and editor of all Smashing books (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/books), and a curator of all Smashing Conferences (https://www.smashingconf.com). He currently works as creative lead of Smashing Magazine (www.smashingmagazine.com) and front-end/UX consultant in Europe and abroad, working with European Parliament, Haufe-Lexware, Axel-Springer and a few other companies.
Less productivity, missed project deadlines and wasted money: that’s what you get for letting your developers work on open-source projects. Or do you really? In this talk you will learn about the value that an investment in JavaScript ecosystems provides to businesses on different levels.
By example of organisations who benefit and give back to the open-source projects around JavaScript libraries, you will see why paying your team to spend time on OSS might be the best business decision you will make this year.
Jessy is a Staff Software Engineer at Meroxa. They have contributed to open-source throughout their career, including the EmberJS ecosystem. She has organized JavaScript community events and workshops in her hometown Berlin for many years and is a CSS, comic and coffee enthusiast.
Everything we do, from the way in which we write our emails, to the method in which we provide negative feedback and evaluate performance, governs the performance of our teams. And understanding how culture impacts our efficacy as a team can drastically improve our day-to-day collaboration.
In this session you'll learn: How different cultures communicate, How different cultures evaluate performance and give constructive criticism, How different cultures make decisions, How different cultures trust, How different cultures perceive time.
Emma is a software engineer at Spotify and an American living in Sweden. She is a cohost of the Ladybug Podcast and author of Decoding The Technical Interview Process. Emma is also an instructor at LinkedIn Learning and Frontend Masters.
Do you know what’s really going on in your node_modules folder? Software supply chain attacks have exploded over the past 12 months and they’re only accelerating in 2022 and beyond. We’ll dive into examples of recent supply chain attacks and what concrete steps you can take to protect your team from this emerging threat.
Basic knowledge of Node.js and how to install an NPM package
The issue of security of third-party code is important for all developers to understand in 2022. Attendee takeaways from this talk:
Feross is the founder and CEO of Socket, where he's working on a new approach to supply chain security by auditing every package on npm to detect suspicious changes and block supply chain attacks without slowing the development process. Feross is the author and maintainer of WebTorrent, StandardJS, and 100s of other open source projects. His software is downloaded 500+ million times per month. He was a lecturer at Stanford where he created the course CS 253 Web Security.
Creating 3D experiences on the web can be something that sounds very daunting. I’m here to remove this idea from your mind and show you that the 3D world is for everyone. For that, we will get a model from the 3D software Blender into the web packed with animations, accessibility controls and optimized for web use so join me in this journey as we make the web more awesome.
Basic react knowledge
It's something that can make any website amazing to use and it's also something gaining traction that people think is really hard and I want to show it's not nearly as hard as we think
Sara is a Frontend Developer from Portugal 🇵🇹 living in Berlin 🇩🇪. She work at Remote and make a lot of random projects because she believes that the web needs some dumb shit (we love all your dumb shit /Nordic.js team). She also wrote a book called The Opinionated Guide to React.
Piérre will take a friendly deep dive into what web3 is and what it isn't. Clear out confusions such as what decentralization really is and environmental impacts if the new webz. As he usually do, it will be historical sprinked with some inspirational demos and audience involvement. And if everything goes as planned, everyone in the audience will have to have a wallet with some freshly minted Reimertz x Nordic.js tokens at the end of the call that they can use to get into an exclusive token-zone somewhere at the Nordic.js 2022 conference area (haha, we'll see about that /Nordic.js-crew).
An open mind and some true love for Javascript and the open web.
For some web3 is a fluke, for others, it's the next revolution of the internet. Either way, the topic is really interesting and the tech around it quite amazing. I'd like to explore that with the audience.
Piérre is leading engineering at HIFI Labs where they basically merge tech and music sprinkled with web3. He is both a coder and designer and he love creating things.
Interviewing for technical positions is challenging for both the company and the candidate. Top candidates spend tens of hours studying algorithm problems ahead of interviews, demonstrating that simply being a great software engineer does not prepare you to interview for a software engineering role.
A recent study out of North Carolina State University found that candidates perform worse in algorithm interviews when being watched, and the effect is exacerbated for women. As a result, many companies are passing over qualified candidates and potentially exaggerating the gender bias in the industry. The JavaScript community is especially poised to benefit from different interviewing styles because of the language’s accessibility to newcomers and it’s breadth of applications.
I’ll be talking about alternative approaches to assessing technical competency including code reading, code review, and pairing exercises. These approaches aim to remove performance anxiety, align the interview more closely with the role, reduce false negatives, and support underrepresented groups.
Not much, mostly you need to be able to empathize with the experience of being grilled during a live-coding algorithm-based technical interview.
This talk is relevant for anyone who has influence over how their company administers technical interviews. Any engineer could take the advice from this talk back to their company and suggest improvements to their interview process.
Carly is an Engineering Manager at Galileo Health where she supports the patient-facing team in delivering a higher quality, more reliable healthcare experience to a broad range of patients. She loves React, Typescript, and automation of all sorts. Outside of work, you can find her skiing, solving the NYT crossword, or at the local dive bar.
Attending Nordic.js this year felt like experiencing the first Conference 2.0. Everything was a perfect amount of awesomeness, wackyness and fun. I’ll definitely be there next year.
