We’ll talk about some of the pain points and look into recipes for effective package management in monorepos. 
We’ll discuss how package management works with npm, pnpm, and Yarn. Furthermore, I’ll show you a new tool that is less known but improves developer experience by a lot.

The Zen of Yarn
In the past years Yarn took a spot as one of the most common tools used to develop JavaScript projects, in no small part thanks to an opinionated set of guiding principles. But what are they? How do they apply to Yarn in practice? And just as important: how do they benefit you and your projects?
In this talk we won't dive into benchmarks or feature sets: instead, you'll learn how we approach Yarn’s development, how we explore new paths, how we keep our codebase healthy, and generally why we think Yarn will remain firmly set in our ecosystem for the years to come.

End the Pain: Rethinking CI for Large Monorepos
Scaling large codebases, especially monorepos, can be a nightmare on Continuous Integration (CI) systems. The current landscape of CI tools leans towards being machine-oriented, low-level, and demanding in terms of maintenance. What's worse, they're often disassociated from the developer's actual needs and workflow.Why is CI a stumbling block? Because current CI systems are jacks-of-all-trades, with no specific understanding of your codebase. They can't take advantage of the context they operate in to offer optimizations.In this talk, we'll explore the future of CI, designed specifically for large codebases and monorepos. Imagine a CI system that understands the structure of your workspace, dynamically parallelizes tasks across machines using historical data, and does all of this with a minimal, high-level configuration. Let's rethink CI, making it smarter, more efficient, and aligned with developer needs.

Node Monorepos with Nx
Top Content
WorkshopFree
Multiple apis and multiple teams all in the same repository can cause a lot of headaches, but Nx has you covered. Learn to share code, maintain configuration files and coordinate changes in a monorepo that can scale as large as your organisation does. Nx allows you to bring structure to a repository with hundreds of contributors and eliminates the CI slowdowns that typically occur as the codebase grows.

Build Web3 apps with React
WorkshopFree
The workshop is designed to help Web2 developers start building for Web3 using the Hyperverse. The Hyperverse is an open marketplace of community-built, audited, easy to discover smart modules. Our goal - to make it easy for React developers to build Web3 apps without writing a single line of smart contract code. Think “npm for smart contracts.”
Learn more about the Hyperverse here.
We will go over all the blockchain/crypto basics you need to know to start building on the Hyperverse, so you do not need to have any previous knowledge about the Web3 space. You just need to have React experience.
