Ignoring JAMstack in 2020 could be fatal?! See, 15 years ago, I learned PHP because of WordPress. Junior developers today, are learning React because of JAMstack. BuiltWith reports over 323,994 sites built with JAMstack.

I'm going to show you why you should care about the JAMstack trend and how it's going to be more relevant than ever. We'll study the impact of a great open-source project, i.e., Next.js, on the React ecosystem. I'll also share why I bet my DevRel career on this.

By the end, you'll walk away a little bit more scared of building a custom React site and a lot more prepared for building on top of the JAMstack.

“What could I have done to avoid being hacked?” is a question you’ll often hear after a site is hacked. In some cases the answer is complicated, but a lot of the time it’s relatively simple and there are many checklists and guides online outlining the ways sites can be hacked, plus how to secure them. However, a lot of people learn better from seeing and doing than reading (often boring) checklists. So rather than look at checklists on slides for 30 minutes, we’re going to hack into WordPress instead!

With growing popularity of APIs and Cross Platform integrations, Decoupled WordPress or Headless WordPress has started getting the attention these days. Developers are evaluating the advantages of decoupled approach websites and applications.

WordPress has always been recognized as a very welcoming platform for developers at any level of expertise. Introduced in WordPress core over a year ago, the block editor not only brought an entirely new editing experience for users, but it also redefined the way plugins and themes are developed.

In this talk, I want to present how the JavaScript ecosystem has flourished in recent years, creating a wide range of opportunities for contributors working on the Gutenberg project. At the same time, I want to explain many of the architectural decisions that have sought to make the transition as smooth as possible for those familiar with developing products and services based on WordPress.

We all know that 3 seconds is all it takes to lose the attention of visitors to our web pages. But there’s hope yet! We can all win on the web by leveraging the brain’s strengths and limitations. An understanding of how the human brain processes visual information can greatly help us win our visitors over and keep them where we want them, instead of losing them to cyberspace.
