Remember Atomic Design? It's been a while since we started talking about Design Systems. They're supposed to solve our interfaces inconsistencies issues, as a single source of truth. But do you know well how to build and use them, from a developer perspective?


Here's your ultimate guide to Design Systems, for Devs! From the fundamentals of Design Tokens definition, to how to build advanced versatile layouts. You'll learn all best practices, tips & tricks, components splicing strategies, from this comprehensive step--step handbook talk.


Never be lost again in front of a creating Design System from scratch!

Design Systems: Walking the Line Between Flexibility and Consistency
Design systems aim to bring consistency to a brand's design and make the UI development productive. Component libraries with well-thought API can make this a breeze. But, sometimes an API choice can accidentally overstep and slow the team down! There's a balance there... somewhere. Let's explore some of the problems and possible creative solutions.

Find Out If Your Design System Is Better Than Nothing
Building a design system is not enough. Your dev team has to prefer it over one-off components and third-party libraries. Otherwise, the whole effort is a waste of time. Learn how to use static code analysis to measure if your design system wins over the internal competition and data-driven ways to improve your position.

Developing and Driving Adoption of Component Libraries
What makes a component library good? In order to create a component library that people want to use you need to navigate tradeoffs between extensibility, ease of use, and design consistency. This talk will cover how to traverse these factors when building a component library in React, how to measure its success, and how to improve adoption rates.

Rapid UI Development in React: Harnessing Custom Component Libraries & Design Systems
Workshop
In this workshop, we'll take a tour through the most effective approaches to building out scalable UI components that enhance developer productivity and happiness :-) This will involve a mix of hands-on exercises and presentations, covering the more advanced aspects of the popular styled-components library, including theming and implementing styled-system utilities via style props for rapid UI development, and culminating in how you can build up your own scalable custom component library.
We will focus on both the ideal scenario---where you work on a greenfield project---along with tactics to incrementally adopt a design system and modern approaches to styling in an existing legacy codebase with some tech debt (often the case!). By the end of the workshop, you should feel that you have an understanding of the tradeoffs between different approaches and feel confident to start implementing the options available to move towards using a design system based component library in the codebase you work on.
Prerequisites:
- Familiarity with and experience working on large react codebases
- A good understanding of common approaches to styling in React
