Speaker
Abstract
Over the last 30 years of web development a predictable cycle has appeared in the adoption, commoditization and eventual abstraction of major new technical trends in web development. This talk will outline how the cycle works, and use data from over 16,000 responses to surveys of web developers to identify the key trends in front-end development that are happening right now, and what the data hints may be coming next.

10:35 Ballroom BC Session Frontend Everyone Can Be a Full-Stack Engineer Alex Cole Software Engineer @convex_dev, previously @Asana Serverless infrastructure makes it easier than ever to eliminate the boundary between frontend and backend. When engineers own the entire stack, they can focus less on rebuilding the same infrastructure and more on what matters: the user experience. 11:50 Pacific DEKJ Session Frontend Building Typesafe APIs with tRPC & TypeScript Brian Douglas Co-founder and CEO @Paper Compute Co. When developing modern APIs, there a few options to choose from. REST is not a standard but instead style. Trust is constantly broken between the API and client. gRPC and GraphQL provide standards but require complex tooling. 13:40 Pacific DEKJ Session What the Data Says: Emerging Technical Trends in Front-End and How They Affect You Laurie Voss Head of Developer Relations @Arize AI, Co-Founder of npm, Inc., Developer for 30+ Years Over the last 30 years of web development a predictable cycle has appeared in the adoption, commoditization and eventual abstraction of major new technical trends in web development. 14:55 Ballroom BC Session Panel: Rethinking Our Relationship with the Frontend Brian LeRoux, Brian Douglas, Laurie Voss, Alex Cole Each of the track speakers joins together in a panel about how the front-end is changing in today’s high velocity, domain-focused teams. 16:10 Pacific DEKJ Session Frontend Enhance: SSR for Web Components Brian LeRoux Co-founder & CTO @Begin, created and maintains OpenJS Architect, maintains Enhance.dev Building web apps is often characterized as painful, complex, and time consuming. There are many tools, libraries, frontend frameworks, and opinions about how to fix that problem… but they come with a catch. The frontend ecosystem is fractured into incompatible niches.
