Vite: Rethinking Frontend Tooling
Vite is a new build tool that intends to provide a leaner, faster, and more friction-less workflow for building modern web apps. This talk will dive into the project's background, rationale, technical details and design decisions: what problem does it solve, what makes it fast, and how does it fit into the JS tooling landscape.

The Inner Workings of Vite Build
Vite unbundled ESM dev server and fast HMR are game-changing for DX. But Vite also shines when building your production applications.
This talk will dive into how the main pieces fit together to bundle and minify your code:
Vite build as an opinionated Rollup setup.
How esbuild is used as a fast TS and JSX transpile and a minifier.
The production plugins pipeline.
Modern frameworks (Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, among others) have chosen Vite, augmenting the DX and optimizations for their target use case.
We'll discover Vite as a polished and extendable toolkit to craft optimized modern apps.

The Eternal Sunshine of the Zero Build Pipeline
For many years, we have migrated all our devtools to Node.js for the sake of simplicity: a common language (JS/TS), a large ecosystem (NPM), and a powerful engine. In the meantime, we moved a lot of computation tasks to the client-side thanks to PWA and JavaScript Hegemony.
So we made Webapps for years, developing with awesome reactive frameworks and bundling a lot of dependencies. We progressively moved from our simplicity to complex apps toolchains. We've become the new Java-like ecosystem. It sucks.
It's 2021, we've got a lot of new technologies to sustain our Users eXperience. It's time to have a break and rethink our tools rather than going faster and faster in the same direction. It's time to redesign the Developer eXperience. It's time for a bundle-free dev environment. It's time to embrace a new frontend building philosophy, still with our lovely JavaScript.
Introducing Snowpack, Vite, Astro, and other Bare Modules tools concepts!

Using CodeMirror to Build a JavaScript Editor with Linting and AutoComplete
Workshop Free
Using a library might seem easy at first glance, but how do you choose the right library? How do you upgrade an existing one? And how do you wade through the documentation to find what you want?
In this workshop, we’ll discuss all these finer points while going through a general example of building a code editor using CodeMirror in React. All while sharing some of the nuances our team learned about using this library and some problems we encountered.
