When the concept of Progressive Web Apps was introduced in 2016, the world of frontend development seemed changed forever. Websites could be ‘installed’ to devices and, better yet, they could be available offline! Surely, this would be the death of native? As we know, that isn’t exactly how things went. PWAs weren’t really able to live up to the ideology at the time. The groundwork was there but, as with everything else on the web, it was to be a slow process of incremental improvements.

Now, five years down the line, things are different. PWAs are truly installable, reliable, and capable. In this talk, we’ll look at how PWAs have matured over the years and just how capable they’ve become.

When most people think of SVG, they picture icons and illustrations, but it’s a magical language that’s capable of so much more!

When you stop viewing it purely as a way to make vector graphics, a whole world of UI styling opens up. Come with me as we dig a little deeper and unlock some of SVG’s superpowers.

In the average person’s lifetime, they spend about ⅓ of their waking time working. I spent a great deal of time after leaving my last job considering what I wanted to do next and eventually co-founded a new startup. Let me show you how I figured out what I want to do with my life.

A performance budget is a threshold that you apply to the metrics you care about the most. Budgets are the best way to get fast and fight regression. But they’re one of those ideas that everyone gets behind conceptually, only to find them tricky to put into practice – and for very good reason. Web pages are unbelievably complex, and there are hundreds of potential performance metrics to track.

If you’re just getting started with performance budgets – or if you’ve been using them for a while and want to validate your work – this talk is for you.

Tammy will cover:

• Which metrics should you focus on?
• What should your budget thresholds be?
• How do you stay on top of your budgets?

Email is stuck in the 90’s, it’s very limited and you can’t do anything fun or creative with it. We’ll be dispelling these myths and others as we look into what is actually possible in email today.

Exploring what modern code techniques can be used and looking at using creative workarounds to replicate what can’t. As well as looking at emerging technology that could change everything…
