SOS UiComponents: Save Our Sanity
Talk by Vinai Kopp (40 minutes)

Why is code involving Magento 2 UiComponents hard to understand and customize? In the end, it’s “just JavaScript”, so what is it that pushes the code to become messy and hard to maintain? This presentation does two things: 1 - We analyze the aspects of UiComponents that make them hard to work with 2 - We look at ideas from more current frontend languages and frameworks that have those problems solved and how we can use them with UiComponents The concepts hopefully will be useful not only for the current Magento 2 frontend, but also when the new PWA studio is released.

Manipulating Magento 2
Talk by Joke Puts (25 minutes)

How can you make Magento do what you want? In Magento 2 there are a lot of ways to add customizations. What are your options? Can you do a rewrite like in Magento 1? Should you use an event to add that business-critical logic when your invoice reaches state paid? Or is a plugin a better option? Maybe it’s the only option. What’s the deal with dependency injection and why do I need interfaces? In this talk we’re going to explore all the possibilities to give you a good understanding of the basics.

Complete PWA front-end with Magento 2: live demo
Talk by Jamie Maria Schouren (25 minutes)

Recently DEITY launched a complete PWA front-end which can be used in combination with Magento 2 and has all the cool features we can expect from PWA. The solution is more than just a PWA front-end: it combines a modular microservice based service oriented architecture, with a fully headless PWA front-end, build on ReactJS and NodeJS. The speed of the shop is instant: 25ms page transitions, with peaks of 175ms. Soon DEITY will release an open source version of their product for the community. In this talk their director will give you the background story behind this project, why they did it, what they did and how they did it – and off course there will be a live demo!

14:45 The Big “Why Equal doesn’t Equal” Quiz
Talk by Juliette Reinders Folmer (25 minutes)

So you think you know PHP ? But do you really ? We all compare and test data on nearly every other line in our code, be it input validation, an if-statement, a switch or determining what to display and how. So of course we are all experts on how to do these tests and comparisons…. Or are we? No matter whether you are a beginner or an expert, come and join in the fun for the Big “Why equal doesn’t equal” Quiz, test your knowledge and learn about defensive programming and the quirks of a loose type programming language along the way.

My little journey into Magento Frontend
Talk by Martins Saukumus (25 minutes)

Magento 2 has been out for quite some time. Is the front end part up to date with modern standards? The PWA is right around the corner (or more corners) so in this presentation, I will share my solution how you can start to migrate front-end business logic to Vue/React components to be prepared for the switch. And if you are going to switch from Magento 1 to Magento 2 I will do a quick summary how the JavaScript works so you don’t get lost.
