Future technology with AI

Learn to code with chatGPT

What if I told you that in just the last 2 years, AIs have learned to write in Shakespeare's style, to write code and even refactor it, and generate any images on the spot? A new generation of AIs is here to change the way we do things. Learn to code with chatGPT by describing the solution and building it step by step.

Handling GraphQL Errors

In this workshop we will create a Fullstack GraphQL app starting from the Server and building our way up to the client! We will cover everything you need to successfully adopt GraphQL across your stack from client to backend including tooling and best practices. You will learn how to build and design a GraphQL Server starting by defining the GraphQL Schema using types and relations. Moving to the client side, we will create a simple client to demonstrate common usage. As we implement the different features we will introduce GraphQL query syntax including queries, mutations, alias, fragments and directives. At this point we will review how client and server communicate, what tooling is available to track usage and improve performance and how to add authorisation and authentication. Finally we will focus on designing real-time features and sharing best practices to improve performance and leverage scalability.

OpenAI and the AI that may overtake humans

This is a talk on the openAI project and how close they are to creating powerful artificial general intelligence. Elon Musk said that "artificial general intelligence is likely to overtake humans in the next five years.". We'll learn about their latest iteration of their powerful language model GPT-3 and some of its incredible applications including text and code generation using their invite-only APIs. GPT3 can generate text in English language but also generate source code in JavaScript, Python or even SQL from natural language!

My web3 journey and why communities matter

I'm here to tell you about Web3 and its potential in the future. We're all creators at heart, aren't we? And the prospect of doing away with intermediary corporations is a very exciting one. I also want to talk about Web3 London, a meetup group I just created where we explore the Web3 universe, bringing people together to share their experiences.

Call-For-Papers Workshop

In this talk, we’ll explore a secret API design pattern: GraphQL directives and how to use them without breaking a sweat. Best of all, you will be able to add new features to your schema without having to change your existing code. A fantastic technique to add to your GraphQL toolset!

Deep Learning

How GitHub Copilot learned JavaScript

I mean… where do I even start? As a JavaScript Developer the struggle is real. There's JavaScript fatigue, new releases, new APIs, and the list keeps growing. How is it possible that an AI beat us all to it and has the audacity to come up with code recommendations!? No need to look into stackoverflow, you write a comment with a description and a code snippet is proposed to you. In this talk, I will look into the milestones that allowed openAI, a company in SF founded by Elon Musk, to achieve such incredible results. We will explore together all its capabilities and some of the more technical details like GPT models, transformers, codex, what's the current progress and what we can expect in the future!

Unleash Fast&Furious performance with RxJS

Did you ever notice your laptop going cray-cray after you open a Web Page? Usual suspects are animations, heavy duty framework bootstrap, using setTimeout/setInterval without a Developer license?!? There's certainly a mysterious side of JavaScript that deals with concurrency, asynchronous processing and high performance that can go terribly wrong. In this talk we are going to put the event loop under the microscope and really look at what is happening behind the scenes. Will we cover macro and microtasks? Yep. We are going to roll our sleeves up and use RxJS to deal with concurrency. Instead of creating microtasks we will use RxJS Schedulers elegant abstraction to improve performance without losing control. Let's avoid more CPUs cycles going to waste today!

Golden rules of Developer Relations

In this talk I want to share my personal experience in the last 6 years. Myself I have been very successful as a Master of Ceremonies, public speaker, trainer, blogger and community leader with over 160 talks in 37 countries in 5 continents. I put together a 10-step approach to achieve world-class excellence in Developer Relations using as an inspiration “The Golden rules” book by Bob Bowman, Michael Phelps coach. From the original principles I will draw analogies to similar approaches drawn from professional experience and that I hope will allow you to achieve extraordinary results and help your Developer Relations efforts. I'd love to see you grow and reach your goals applying them. Are you excited? Let’s do this!

Offline-first made easy using Angular and PWAs

Join us to learn how you can use your Web Apps offline and run natively as Mobile or Desktop apps!

Big time PWA using GraphQL and Amplify DataStore

Offline-first apps need to support: intermittent connectivity, transition seamlessly between online and offline states, reliable CRUD on-device data, data synchronisation and data conflict resolution to enable real-time collaboration. Amplify DataStore is an on device persistent repository for interacting with local data and able to automatically synchronize via GraphQL. Using Amplify DataStore will allow us to implement offline-first while using a simple programming model.

Creating high quality communities

Running a local community is not an easy challenge. Besides focusing on an awesome technology you need to sort out a series of challenges that you may not be familiar with. First you need a venue, then to contact speakers so you can cover interesting topics, and finally bring some sponsors for catering and event recording so attendees can have a great experience and socialise. Where do you start? In this talk AWS Senior Developer Advocate and GraphQL London founder Gerard Sans will share tips, experiences, and what happens behind the scenes of a large GraphQL meet-up so you can use them in your own dev rel work.
