Speakers

There’s never been a better time to learn how to code. As an industry, we’re devoting a seemingly endless amount of time and money to getting people of all ages writing their first lines and making that first git commit. But where are we after that? In this talk, Heather will be looking at the ways in which tech education is falling short for learners as they move past the beginner stage, and making some suggestions for how we can offer better support.

"Reusable component" has become a bit of buzzword - it's the philosophy driving popular frameworks like React, Angular 2 and Vue. And they're set to become part of a web devs' bread-and-butter with the imminent arrival of Web Components to HTML5 (ETA 2017). But what are components, and why are they useful? How do we shift our minds to start "thinking in components"? I'll look at these questions in the talk, drawing on my experience moving our large-scale app (peg.co) to a component-based approach.
