HomeAgendaBuilding Talks With React…

Session Overview

Using a popular library called Reveal.js, we can create slide desks with React. This presentation (about making presentations!) will include the basics of setting up and using the Reveal.js framework and the ways in which you can incorporate all your possible existing knowledge like React, CSS, animations and more. We’ll also talk through the pros and cons of writing your talks this way!

Just like code can be re-used, so can slides created with code! Once set-up, slides can be made quickly and accessibly for your audience.

Session Key Takeaways:

  • How to set-up and use the Reveal.js framework
  • A demonstration of some features of the framework
  • Overview of the pros and cons of creating presentations this way

This is for you if…You have a working knowledge of HTML (React knowledge is a bonus, but not required) and to see some cool ways you can use it!

Compassionate Refactoring

60 mins
  • Track - Software
  • Software & Development
  • Technical

Within coding, the desire to consistently refactor and improve code is a common aspiration yet frequently remains unfulfilled. This session delves into the often-overlooked barriers that impede this process, with a special focus on the constraints of time and, more crucially, the lack of compassion in the coding environment. The discussion extends beyond external pressures to address the self-criticism that developers often face when dealing with imperfect code.

In an industry where perfection is highly prized, this talk highlights the importance of acknowledging and accepting the initial phase of writing suboptimal code as a necessary step towards mastery. It emphasises the transformative power of kindness and forgiveness in the coding process, proposing that embracing our coding flaws can paradoxically lead to the development of superior code. Join us for an insightful exploration of how fostering a culture of empathy and understanding in coding can unlock greater potential for innovation and excellence.
