Overview of the Frontend section at the DUMP conference: front-end development in all its breadth

April 19 in Yekaterinburg will host a conference of developers DUMP . Traditionally, we publish reviews of sections from program directors.

Our first post about the Frontend section. The program director of the section, Anastasia Kataeva, said that there would be something interesting in the section and why go there.



Hello!
')
Let's get acquainted. We, Nastya Kataeva and Valera Kuzmin, work in Kontur and organize UralJS meetings. With us, Vova Sannikov, an architect from Point, and a frequent speaker at various meetings and conferences. This year, for the first time, we are doing the front-line section at the DUMP conference. Hope you enjoy.

What will the section be about?

In the program, we tried to cover front-end development in all its breadth. The scatter is noticeable: from the layout of mailings to reactive programming, from 2D graphics in the browser to mobile development, from the style guides to cutting a monolithic application.

Despite the differences in topics and areas, all reports are united by their usefulness in practice. We believe that proven solutions and examples from combat are much better than demos to vacuum, so we collected real stories from the life of developers. Speakers will share real-world experience, solutions and best practices.

Reports

Web evangelist in HTML Academy , community leader Web standards and presenter of the same name podcast, organizer of Web Standards Days, city meetings of pitercss_meetup and conference pitercss_conf Vadim Makeev will give a report on web graphics: from creation and export to optimization and insertion.

In the development world, controversies on topical issues do not subside over the years: “Tabs or spaces?”, “Should we indent between brackets?”, “Single or double quotes?” Alexander Shinkevich (LOVATA) will share tools and approaches that can be used to stop arguing over trifles.

Using the example of writing games, Alexander Korotaev (Tinkoff.ru) will tell you how to draw 2D quickly, but simply, without scoring matrixes and complex APIs. In the report, Alexander will consider the concepts of pre-rendering, shaders, and using a React-tree for fast drawing on a plane.

Artyom Kuzvesov will consider what technologies are currently available for mobile development, visually compare how identical applications look and work, one of which is written in React Native and the other in Cordova, and tells about the strengths and weaknesses of each of the solutions.

Frontend team leader at SKB LAB, Sergey Tsvetkov (Yekaterinburg) will give a presentation on Angular Elements: using the example of the Angular framework, he will tell you how to decompose a monolithic web application using HTML5 Web Components.

Vitaly Dmitriev (404 Group) will reveal the basic principles of the reactive approach to programming, list useful tools and, most importantly, explain how they can help create easily expandable applications if you change your thinking when developing to reactive.

In articles and reports from cool developers often talk about autotests. “It's easy, it's cool,” they say. However, when you start to write them yourself, you do not feel either lightness or coolness, only pain. Frontend Lead in the company N1.RU Maxim Sosnov will teach how to write the right tests.

Who among us has not launched the html-newsletter? Surely you remember that medieval code, filled with creepy tables and inline styles. Over the years, letters have become more beautiful, started to appear decently on mobile devices, they even appeared interactive. Alexander Khlebnikov from 2GIS will tell you how to create mailing lists in 2019, defeat Outlook and not get bogged down in the eternal bug fix.


All reports of last year’s conference can be viewed on the YouTube channel.

We are waiting for you on April 19 at DUMP . Come, it will be interesting!
