After a decade sacrificing HTML on the altar of JS frameworks, we've become blind to its raw power. We keep reinventing the wheel with megabytes of JS/CSS, throwing accessibility under the bus as we go.
And yet, HTML5 is enormously powerful in itself, especially when it comes to form controls and dialogs, which most folks are sadly unaware of.
How about digging into this, so we can slim down our bundles and become more accessible to boot?

Test coverage is a metric often used to quantify the maturity of a project's testing.
Whilst low numbers indicate a lack of tests on the project, high coverage doesn't account for the quality of the tests being run.
And most testing frameworks have quirks and pitfalls.
Have you tested that your project's tests actually fail when they should?
Mutation Testing does that so you know which tests are trustworthy and which ones need work.

Dans cette présentation nous allons vois 5 façons efficace et peu coûteuse d’améliorer votre code. Vous devriez vous attarder à rendre votre code plus facile à lire pour éviter que les prochains perdent leur temps à le comprendre. Vous sortirez de cette session avec des conseils utiles pour accomplir cette tâche.
.NET
By the time of the conference, .NET 8 will have been released. Just like each even version, the new release will be under a 3 year long term support, so many applications are expected to be upgraded. The presenter has worked with .NET 8 since the first pre-release version, with mostly joy, and sometimes minor frustration. In this session, we will take a look at the top new features: what has been missing for a long time and is now available.
JavaScriptSecurity
You will learn about the most common security vulnerabilities in node.js and see how you can fix them with real life code examples. I'm going to bring my experience as Node.js core collaborator and member of the security working group, and we will go through some of the vulnerabilities that have been fixed in the past.
PHPSecurity
Do you know how to secure your APIs? Tokens alone are far from enough. Automated direct access to the application business logic allows whole new classes of attack vectors and vulnerabilities - data extraction, impersonation, rogue access, and more. You can deploy countermeasures like elevated access requirements, multi-factor auth, response limits, etc. Let's explore both sides of that coin to let you properly design security for your APIs.
DatabasesData Science

See them in action with ClickHouse, a leading real-time analytic database. Join us on an exciting journey into fast, big-data analytics.
Python
In this presentation, we'll dive into the world of type annotations and demonstrate how they empower developers to build robust and maintainable code. Discover the benefits of strong typing and gain practical insights into working with types, making your Python projects more reliable and easier to maintain.
Java & JVM languages
In this talk, Micronaut committer Álvaro Sánchez-Mariscal, will demonstrate how you can quickly build optimised Microservices with Micronaut & GraalVM Native Image. Attendees will learn how the combination of GraalVM Native Image and Micronaut can lead to efficient, highly performant, and optimised applications that can be perfectly deployed to environments like Kubernetes or serverless platforms. There will be a live coding demo
HTML & CSSJavaScript
useSignal() is a revolution in state management. It is a more reactive, performant, and scalable way to manage state than traditional methods. By learning how to use useSignal(), you can take your state management skills to the next level.
This conference will explore the useSignal() technique. I will discuss topics such as:
The benefits of using useSignal()
How to use useSignal() to build dynamic and interactive web applications

Architecture & Design Patterns
Clean architecture is the reference for decoupled and maintainable enterprise applications. But, it can be difficult to navigate code and to debug. Vertical Slice Architecture simplify code organization and meets the same goals. In this talk, the principals differences will be shown by looking at code samples.
PHP
During this presentation, we are going to look at the new features that were introduced in PHP 8.3, and some in earlier versions. Join me to have a look at how the type system is strengthened with Typed Class Constants, Readonly
Classes, Arbitrary Static Variable Initialisers, Overloaded Method Markers, and other new smaller features and clean-ups.
At the end you will have a good understanding about all the new and exciting PHP 8.3 features.

JavaScript
Yes, okay, ES2015 rules, and ES2017–2022 brought about a lot of cool things (most notably async/await, async iteration, optional chaining, private members), but a ton of cool stuff is expected to land in the next few years, too… and we can play with it already!
Christophe takes you through a whirlwind tour of the upcoming features he’s most excited about, due to become official in 2024, 2025… or 2026 ;-)

Have you wondered what has been done in the Spring ecosystem since Spring Framework 6 & Spring Boot 3 were released in 2022?
This talk will explore the new features across the Spring portfolio. We will talk about JDK 21 support, virtual threads, & RestClient from Spring Framework. From Spring Boot we will describe the new Docker & Testcontainers features. We will also discuss new additions such as Spring Modulith & Spring Cloud Gateway MVC.

Architecture & Design PatternsPHP
Domain-driven design proponents champion aggregate roots and entity-bound logic. While suitable for complex models, the web realm differs: we often load a partial model, modify, and save. Attend this session for insights on crafting a domain model tailored to web needs within a hexagonal architecture framework.
Artificial Intelligence
The ascent of machine learning, especially large language models (LLMs), comes with exorbitant infrastructure costs, making it almost unfeasible for individuals to run such programs independently. Amazon, Azure, and Google Cloud dominate with over 60% market share. This concentration challenges the decentralized essence of the internet, potentially impacting innovation, quality, and freedom.
JavaScriptArtificial Intelligence
Prompts are like magic spells, using words to achieve impossible effects but requiring complex rules. AI agents are like a wizard who consults spell book to cast a series of spells. AI Agents use a large language model (LLM) as a reasoning engine to determine how to interact with the outside world based on user input. Attend this session to learn how to build AI Agents in JavaScript using LangChain and other prompting techniques. Alohomora!
Java & JVM languagesPerformance
Profilers help to analyze performance bottlenecks of your application if you know how to use them. Getting to grips with profilers helps to understand how they work: Profilers aren't rocket science. A usable Java profiler can be written in 240 lines of pure Java code, allowing you to fix performance issues and add custom features quickly. This talk will give the fundamentals of Java profiling and an overview of existing open-source profilers.
Tests & QualityPython
I will break down writing effective unit tests into five best practices. I will use Python for these examples but the best practices are applicable to other languages as well. (1) Serving as documentation (2) Covering all edge cases (3) Avoiding testing implementation details (4) Contain as little logic as possible (5) Keeping a small scope
