Are you into React, React Native, GraphQL and hungry to learn from the best?

Welcome to the Web of tomorrow

Take part in the exploration of the React universe! Focusing on in-depth talks, hands-on workshops, and finding new opportunities, React Day Berlin conference provides space for everyone to make friends and develop stellar apps together.

Since 2017 we're running Berlin based React community of people passioned about Open Source and JavaScript engineering. Since then we have also landed 2 React conferences, with last one uniting 800 engineers from Germany and worldwide.

Join or third edition in 2019 to celebrate all things React and meet engineers caring about their craft alike.

Our speakers’ guns are set on stun

Diversity, sharing of ideas, and critical thinking are the core values when it comes to selection of our speakers. Both React’s pros and its rising stars will take over two stages at React Day Berlin.

They’ll shed light on all things puzzling your mind, be it architecture, Design Systems, GraphQL, Reason or other.

If your website has content, there will always be somebody who wants to print it - let’s be prepared!

Typed Functional Programming in TypeScript with fp-ts
Robin Pokorny
NewStore, Germany

TypeScript is the main dialect developers use for writing React applications. React has a functional nature, however, TypeScript has not. It lacks some popular patterns and data structures we use and love in other functional languages like ReasonML, Elm, or PureScript. Fortunately, for the rescue, there is a rising library called fp-ts. Let me show you how it can help you.

React for Command-Line Interfaces! (feat. Ink)

React Is Fiction
Jenn Creighton
The Wing, USA

You don’t know it but you are an author. You write stories every day. You build narratives, characters and plots — but you aren’t writing a novel, you’re writing components. I came to engineering from the world of creative writing and what surprised me the most is how similar code is to fiction. React itself follows tenants of creative writing and when you lean into those rules, you create solid component architecture. In this talk you’ll learn how to write React like its fiction and what you can gain by doing so.

Architecture

Testing Is All About Principles
Alex Lobera
React GraphQL Academy, UK

Should we use react-testing-library or Enzyme? What about snapshot testing? What should be our code coverage? Those are questions we often hear when discussing testing. Those questions are easy to discuss but the answers won’t necessarily make us write more reliable and flexible code. Many developers struggle to write tests 1) quickly and 2) that increase their degree of confidence. Writing good tests requires writing good code. Writing good code that is easy to test requires a good understanding of programming principles and how they apply to the libraries of choice. Discussing principles is harder than discussing tools. In this talk, we’ll discuss the principles that will make developers increase their test confidence when building React apps. I’ll also use those principles to challenge some believes that the audience might have about certain testing libraries or methodologies.

UI as API
Narendra Shetty
Twilio, UK

For backend services having a flexible API is a common practice that allows you to combine them with different APIs as if they were LEGO blocks and solve almost any business need. At Twilio we’ve been building REST APIs for over 10 years. When we recently decided to ship Twilio Flex, a software that has a working UI out of the box, we still wanted to make sure that it was as flexible as the rest of our APIs.

In this talk we’ll dive into how we architected a programmable UI platform using React that both allows you to have a fully working UI out of the box but also be able to customize every functionality and user experience to your needs using the full power of React.

Figma to React: Efficient Delivery Design to the Code
Zar Zakharov
JavaScript Evangelist, Russia

In 2019, product design teams use a design system at the level of a graphic editor. Developers teams move this design system into code using the React component approach.

But there is a problem. The final version of the product does not exist. As there is no final iPhone.

Product teams work daily on product. But design layouts and components in the code live in different worlds, they need to be updated manually.

How to continuously deliver design changes to the react design system?

Figma is a new design tool that is gaining popularity. Unlike Sketch, Figma works in the web, the native environment of component design systems. It has an API. Sasha (designer) and Zar (developer) will show how to synchronize design systems from two worlds.

Empowering your React application with types using flow
Olena Sovyn
Webflow, UK

Flow is providing the great possibility to add types to already existed projects gradually, without the need to re-write a business logic part of an application to another language. Having a typing system in place is beneficial in many cases - from refactoring old code to onboarding new team members. However, in the attempts to increase coverage it is easy to shoot yourself in the foot and end up with a system that is not helpful enough or even slows down development time. Let’s figure out together, how spending the same amount of time on this task can lead to a more resilient and effective type system in your React projects.

From Native to React Native
Greg Ryzhov
Urban Sports Club, Germany

Rewriting an app is an exciting process, but it comes with its drawbacks. In this talk, I’ll focus on the challenges to expect when transitioning from native to React Native and how to avoid/overcome those challenges. I’ll share learnings from my team’s first-hand experience and cover:

  • Factors to consider when deciding to use React Native
  • Organizational and technical challenges that can arise and how to deal with these challenges
  • Expectations post-release.

Parallel computing in ReactJS
Majid Hajian
Softiware AS, Norway

User is working with your application, suddenly, UI freezes and probably, one of the CPU cores is burning! They cannot do anything. The only perception you can feel is as hot as a hell metal case of the laptop. Although this sounds like a horror movie, this is your application that cannot leverage modern APIs to lift heavy computation to a different thread where consequently user suffers the pain.

Modern features like Web Workers, WebAssembly, Worklets, and Service Worker allow us to leverage multithreading computing to run tasks parallely which at the end, makes the user feel like in a rainbow paradise instead of a nightmare, even though JavaScript is a single-threaded programming language!

In this session, I am going to show my experience running jobs in parallel on a React.Js application that will provide a pleasant user experience and exciting development.

Strong RESTful Contracts in a GraphQL world
Tejas Kumar
Contiamo, Germany

GraphQL is an incredible technology. It provides developers with concrete, solid guarantees at the API layer, preventing surprises when interacting with client-server applications. REST has been often criticized as weaker in this regard, since it is not a formal specification. This talk explores working with similar (if not better) contractually-sound REST APIs in a React application using powerful new tooling.

Building Webapps for everyone - a11y with React
Manjula Dube
N26, Germany

Building React applications has been fairly easy now, However, an often-missing ingredient in many React Applications is a focus on accessibility best practices — especially when component libraries are part of their application. Nothing in React prevents us from building accessible web apps, but we need to learn to harness its power in the right way while dealing with some unique challenges caused by creating web pages with JavaScript. This talk will focus on these issues and how to solve them in the real world, while also adding some a11y power to your development process. This talk will also focus on why it is important to build accessible web apps.
