JS tooling is a term used to describe the tools and processes used to develop applications in JavaScript. This includes frameworks, libraries, build systems, task runners, and other tools that help developers create, test, and deploy their applications. We have talks and workshops on this topic to help students learn how to use these tools effectively and efficiently.

Conquering Complexity: Refactoring JavaScript Projects
One of the most common issues in JavaScript code bases is that our code is too complex. As projects and their requirements evolve, complexity creeps in. Excess complexity slows progress, frustrating us as we try to keep large chunks of a program in our heads just to understand what is happening.
To conquer complexity, we must refactor! In this talk, we'll investigate how to identify unnecessary complexity in our code base using cognitive complexity as a measure, how to approach refactoring complex code, and what tools are available to help us refactor. We'll put it all into practice through a live example. By the end of the talk, you'll be excited to tackle that 1000-line monstrosity of a function in your own code base (you know the one).

Automate the Browser With Workers Browser Rendering API
In this talk, we will explore how the Browser Rendering API can automate browser tasks, freeing developers from repetitive manual work. We will begin with an overview of Cloudflare Workers and how they enable running JavaScript at the edge. Then, we will discuss browser automation in detail, covering how to interact with the DOM, fill out forms, and scrape data from web pages. We will showcase real-world examples of how browser automation with Cloudflare Workers can improve the user experience of web applications, increase productivity, and automate tasks, such as generating screenshots and PDFs of web pages, testing web applications, and running performance audits. At the end of this talk, attendees will gain a better understanding of how to use the Browser Rendering API to automate browser tasks and take their web development skills to the next level.

Start Building Your Own JavaScript Tools
Your first JavaScript tool might not be the next Babel or ESLint, but it can be built on them! Let's demystify the secret art of JavaScript tools, how they work, and how to build our own. We'll discover the opportunities in our everyday work to apply these techniques, writing our own ESLint rules to prevent mistakes and code transforms to make breaking changes easy to apply. We’ll walk through the fundamentals of working with an abstract syntax tree, and develop our understanding through a live-code. You will be amazed at what you can build, and together we’ll explore how to get started.
