React has quite the history. From React.createComponent to server components, React has evolved to be a mainstay in web development. But let's be honest, there's many un-use-ual things about React. In this talk, we'll revisit React's lifecycle from being a sprinkle of interactivity to wanting to be its own language, with plenty of puns, nostalgia, and a peek into the future of our favorite not-a-framework.

Explore the journey from chaos to clarity in building scalable software. We'll unravel fundamental React components, dissect common chaos-inducing practices, and progress to advanced patterns. Central to our discussion are tried-and-tested design patterns, providing blueprints for robust, scalable, and maintainable applications. By the session's close, you'll wield a comprehensive toolkit of design patterns and best practices, empowering you to transform unruly codebases into structured, scalable React applications. Join us on this transformative journey from zero to hero in software scalability within Javascript ecosystem.

In this talk, we'll explore how OCaml, with its robust type system, can be used
alongside React to create type-safe web applications. We'll introduce Melange,
a compiler that seamlessly compiles OCaml to idiomatic JavaScript, a
comprehensive set of React bindings in ReasonReact, and demonstrate how to
adopt this setup incrementally. Attendees will learn about the differences in
developer experience between using React in OCaml and TypeScript. They'll also
learn how to interface with JavaScript libraries using foreign function
interfaces (FFI). We'll also cover testing strategies and essential tooling to
streamline your development workflow. By the end of this session, you'll have a
practical understanding of how to leverage OCaml and Melange to enhance type
safety in your React projects.

Forms are at the core of web development, but working with them can also be challenging. As they get more complex, they become harder to write, maintain, and validate effectively.

Introducing a new way of writing forms, using Vest - a new breed of validation framework that changes the way we handle form validation using the declarative and expressive syntax and style of testing libraries.

We will cover the history of forms on the web, why it is so hard to validate them - and how to fix that. We will together step up our form validation game by taking a complex validation scenario and make it simple using Vest.

Different teams have different practices when it comes to code review. As a senior software engineer, working in the industry for over a decade, I have seen and experienced various code review processes. In this talk, I will share the best practices I have learned for conducting an effective code review. These practices will improve your code review process and contribute to your team's productivity, delivery, and quality of features.

This talk will explore patterns for dealing with debouncing, optimistic updates, concurrency and asynchronous requests in the context of building React applications. We'll look at some broken approaches to implementing these features. By the end of this talk, you'll be able to confidently write reliable code for complex asynchronous interactions.

Our goal is to deliver high-quality experiences as quickly as possible. What if you want to change the UI immediately, without even waiting for an OTA update? There is a simple technique that is under-explored in our community: React Server-Defined Components (RSDC). We are going to explain you the concept behind RSDC and ship a library to let you use it in production right away.

In the world of software development, meeting deadlines is often considered the primary indicator of a project's success. Teams work hard to ensure timely delivery, celebrating their achievements once the project is completed. But is meeting deadlines truly enough to deem a project successful?

During my talk, I will explore the shortcuts often taken to achieve timely delivery, as well as their hidden costs. These shortcuts range from working excessive hours and compromising work-life balance to damaging team relationships and accruing technical debt. I would like to highlight the importance of comprehensive project management, emphasizing that success should be measured not just by the launch but by the entire process.
