Tips and tricks on how to stand out with your bio and talk abstractSimona Cotin
A great talk conference proposal is the way you can get your foot in the door when applying to speak at a conference. Your bio gives people the sense of why you're uniquely qualified to deliver the content. My session will help you understand the tools and frameworks you can use to write a winning conference proposal.
You will walk away with a better understanding of how you can write more compelling abstracts/bios for your conference proposals.
Serverless functions are extremely good at what they do and provide planet-scale computing power for your applications. The one thing where serverless functions fall short is when it comes to state management. When missing state management abilities building up complex flows in your data processing will prove to be quite daunting, and most often than not will require you to provide custom mechanisms for enabling you to communicate between your functions. I am here to explain the challenges and what we can do to tackle them in a way that is extensible and suitable for production environments.

As a startup engineer, you need a different roadmap than what would be useful in a more established organization. Instead of building a robust set of skills in a narrow area, you need to be able to leverage a lot of different technologies that operate at different levels, and an understanding of how they fit together across both the client and server.
As much as we’d like to give you a universal roadmap, every startup has a different set of technical needs to get from ideation to product-market fit. You’re going to have to build your own specific roadmap as you go. What we can do is give you our opinionated viewpoint on some of the most critical technologies that we think should be on your roadmap, including functions as a service (aka serverless), containers, data storage, and mobile frameworks.
Build scalable APIs using GraphQL and ServerlessSimona Cotin
Current trends in software and backend architecture have been evolving towards a more loosely coupled more granular design. I am sure most of you have heard of microservice based architectures.
The latest development on that front in the past couple of years has been the advent of serverless which allows you to run applications in very cost effective ephemeral services. This is why it is important to have a proper gateway for your API that is able to route all your requests to the designated endpoint. GraphQL stands out in that respect as being a mature open sourced standard started at Facebook.
Progressive web applications are the new hip and all the cool kids are on board. They are slowly becoming an industry standard for building web applications. With reliability, speed and immersive user experience in mind, PWAs help you reach a broader audience. But what are the gotchas? Let's explore some of the limitations we might encounter compared to native applications. Which traditionally native features are now available for PWAs to use and which are in development? All browsers are on the same page, supporting features like Service Workers is key but which are differences in API implementation and what bugs should we be aware of? After this session you'll walk away with a clear idea on which is the current state of PWAs, its limitations as well as its strengths.
Serverless lets you focus on coding and testing instead of provisioning infrastructure, configuring web servers, debugging your configuration, managing security settings, and all the drudgery normally associated with getting an app up and running. In this session with, you’ll discover how to migrate an API of an existing app to Azure Functions. You’ll learn how to use Visual Studio Code and the Azure Functions extension to speed up your work. After this session, you’ll join the ranks of serverless developers.

You’ve always thought you looked like Marty McFly but your friends say you look like Yoda, take the 80s doppleganger challenge and find out for sure! In this talk, I’ll show how to use a little bit of machine learning and serverless tech to build an application that can match faces to their dopplegangers. All written with Angular and Node!

Hop on the serverless adventure - International Javascript LondonSimona Cotin
Serverless is the new black – I can deploy my application to the cloud without ever worrying about infrastructure. We all remember the days when we had to spend hours and hours configuring and ebugging web servers when all we wanted was to just code and test our app. Those days are long gone and it’s time for us to unlearn how to provision and manage infrastructure while focusing on building and scaling applications.
Build progressive web apps with AngularSimona Cotin
Progressive web apps (PWA) are becoming an industry standard for building web applications. With reliability, speed and immersive user experience in mind, PWAs help you reach a broader audience. In this session we will take an existing web app and convert it into a PWA. First, we'll make our application installable to homescreen by adding a Web App Manifest json file. Next, we'll focus on making our app reliable by enabling service workers inside our application and caching resources. Throughout this session we'll also learn how to use Lighthouse to test the performance of our PWA.
Managing state in large applications is hard. Let's talk about how reactive programming is awesome and how it can help us with managing complexity, data and scaling our applications. After this session, stores, effects, reducers and actions will no longer be a mistery but rather a key tool in simplifying our application's state.
Deploy Angular to the Cloud (ngBucharest)Simona Cotin
Getting started with Angular is now easier than ever... said no one ever. Yet with the right tool-set we too can create magic. When I code with Angular I can deploy to Azure within minutes. We'll go through a simple development to production workflow. First, we code with a little help from the Angular CLI. Then we build for production - Webpack to the rescue. We then push our code to Github and deploy it to Node on Azure. Mission accomplished, the application is now up in the cloud!

This is not a talk about my KungFu is better than your KungFu but rather a talk about people trying to make sense of the concepts when moving from Angular to React and vice-versa. It’s also a talk about how the community of the Javascript ecosystem works in terms of collaborating and learning from one another.
