🏆 Featured talks of the week

Here are the must-watch talks uploaded since the last issue:

"Ryan Carniato - Facing Frontend's Existential Crisis, React Summit 2024" ⸱ +2k views ⸱ 25 Jun 2024 ⸱ 00h 26m 46s ⸱ by Ryan Carniato who is the author of SolidJS
The state of frontend development last couple years is in an odd place for the uninitiated web developer and expert alike. Server Components? Resumability? Hydration? Waterfalls? Islands? Why so much focus on water? And why are we even talking about this? In this talk, SolidJS creator Ryan Carniato explores the landscape of modern web development to understand how we got here and what these solutions really solve.
"Java meets TypeScript: full-stack web app development with Spring Boot and React by Marcus Hellberg" ⸱ +5k views ⸱ 25 Jun 2024 ⸱ 00h 49m 25s ⸱ by Marcus Hellberg who is a frequent Java conference speaker
As Java developers, we know the benefits of type-safety when building apps. The problem? Usually, that type-safety ends when we leave the server. What if it didn’t have to be that way? In this presentation, you’ll learn how to build a full-stack reactive web app through live code examples. We’ll use Spring Boot and Java on the backend and React with TypeScript on the frontend, connecting the two with the new Hilla framework from Vaadin.
"Marco Gorelli - How you (yes, you!) can write a Polars Plugin | PyData London 2024" ⸱ +600 views ⸱ 21 Jun 2024 ⸱ 01h 28m 37s ⸱ by Marco Gorelli who is an OSS contributor
Polars is a dataframe library taking the world by storm. It is very runtime and memory efficient and comes with a clean and expressive API. Sometimes, however, the built-in API isn't enough. And that's where its killer feature comes in: plugins. You can extend Polars, and solve practically any problem. No prior Rust experience required, intermediate Python or general programming experience required. By the end of the session, you will know how to write your own Polars Plugin! This talk is aimed at data practitioners.
"Kent C Dodds - And Now You Understand React Server Components, React Summit 2024" ⸱ +900 views ⸱ 25 Jun 2024 ⸱ 00h 27m 12s ⸱ by Kent C Dodds who is the author of plenty of famous JS/TS libraries including react-testing-library
A great introduction to React Server Components by building them from scratch.
"Tejas Kumar - Event Sourcing for JS Devs" ⸱ <100 views ⸱ 25 Jun 2024 ⸱ 00h 21m 08s ⸱ by Tejas Kumar who is the author of Fluent React book
This talk teaches us a powerful architectural pattern and helps us navigate the tech landscape using it. We'll understand CQRS, Kafka, and more and see how it all fits together to build powerful things on the web today.
