To encourage young people into tech nor(DEV):con 2019 will again play host to The Schools Day. This will return as a workshop on the preceding Thursday. The famous Business Track amongst other favourites are looking to be bigger than last time. Let’s not forget – the Wine Reception!

Held in the main hall, the Wine Reception on Friday evening will encourage old and new speakers to present Lightning Talks ahead of the main event whilst attendees network.

THE FAILURE OF FOCUS

Aiming for a specific outcome doesn’t always result in what we want in this landscape of people and technology. Best results can often come from a more oblique approach to a problem.

In this talk, Liz identify different strategies for approaching complex ecosystems, starting from where you are right now and making the most of naivety, obliquity and serendipity.

PLAIN WRONG?

I love writing JavaScript. The trouble is, so does everyone else. When people aren’t writing JavaScript, they’re usually writing frameworks for writing JavaScript in JavaScript. In fact, most of the JavaScript that’s around these days seems to either be written for, or within, a JavaScript flavor like React, Vue, or Angular. Frameworks make writing your own code faster and more ergonomic, but they do not come without problems. Code written with Framework A depends on the environment Framework A provides in order to work — and this dependency often represents a lot of code to transmit, decompress, parse, and compile. What about ‘plain’ JavaScript? Is it always naïve to think anything worthwhile can still be achieved just writing some straight-up code? It turns out this is a tricky question to answer, because the line between plain and flavored JavaScript is kind of blurry. It’s also not clear who should be the ones to get to write JavaScript, for what reasons, or when. But there’s no doubt the little we do as web developers is often done with much more than we need.
