The main goal behind creating Blitz was to give you a tool for rapid full-stack development with the best developer experience possible. During my talk, I’ll introduce the core concepts and show what problems Blitz solves for you. We’ll see how to read and write data from the client with full typesafety and without messing with HTTP or serialization. We’ll also cover how to get more control over authentication and authorization with the Blitz Auth module, and how to get started with a new application.

What's an ORM? An Object-Relational Mapping tool (ORM) is a library for mapping a SQL table to a Class. In most cases, ORMs force the users to structure their code to have Model objects that include both data access and business logic.

Once upon a time, I did several projects using ORMs, as I followed the common belief that they would simplify the development and maintenance of projects. I was wrong. ORMs are often a hurdle to overcome for the most complex part of a project.

As the next stop of my journey, I recommended people use the native languages of their databases, e.g., SQL. This works great for the most part, but it creates quite a struggle: there is a lot of boilerplate code to write that can be quite tedious. I was wrong, again.

Today I'm presenting you something new.

In this talk, I will take one of the new features of the language (no spoilers!) and show how it works and why it was added. Also, we will discuss internal details about it, including type inference and contextual types, as well as some other things related to the language support in JetBrains IDEs.

Immutability and deep equality. Two keywords that were initially relegated to strict functional programming environments, but have been popularized across the JavaScript community thanks to libraries like Immutable.js, Immer, and React.

"Records & Tuples" is a new ECMAScript proposal that brings two new immutable primitives to the language: what do they look like, what capabilities do they bring, and when will you finally be able to use them?

Components have been the foundation of how we've built web applications for almost a decade now. They've defined not only how we organize our code but how it runs.

In this talk, Ryan, author of SolidJS, will look at what comes after the component model. Driven by the need for more granularity, and empowered by compilation, reactivity is becoming the universal language of user interfaces.

About the Presenter

Ryan Carniato, Principal Engineer at Netlify

In this talk, we'll investigate how we ended up with 3 complicated component libraries instead of just a simple one and why we still like it. Along this journey, we'll look at npm-package interactions, custom CSS-modules, custom CSS properties, dual build tooling, multi-project TypeScript, and figure out how it all works (or doesn't).

Nuxt 3 is coming closer and closer to the final release. In this talk, we will take a look at the Vue-based meta-framework and the benefits it can provide to us developers. Besides building a tiny application, we will also check out Nitro, the new server engine of Nuxt, and eventually deploy our small app within minutes. The best thing? There is no extra knowledge needed besides the basics of Vue and the Composition API.

In this talk, you'll learn about the advancements in developer experience Angular has made over the past year. In the first part of the session, you'll learn about improvements in the component authoring format, e2e testing, and performance. In the second part, we'll cover the advancements in the debugging experience and how Angular and Chrome DevTools evolved stack traces for web developers.
