c’t <webdev> conference: A better web

c’t <webdev> is all about building fast, good looking, accessible website. Many of the almost 40 talks will dive deep into new technology, give practical insights - or bring some fun. Christian Siebmass for example will illustrate why he and his team chose to integrate Micro Frontends into an existing application, the challenges we faced, if it was a success and what we would do differently today. Julia Miocene will demonstrate how to create a real character using only CSS.

But there will also be presentations that address critical developments and show how developers can deal with them. Peter Kröner for example will show the top 5 JavaScript features from hell. Frontend development is often driven by technology and business needs. In the past, this has often led to web sites that are tracking every move and habit of the visitors. Designers and developers who are also users, both contribute to the surveillance system and are exploited by it. Laura Kalbag will explain in her keynote that it doesn’t have to be this way. She will show practical ways developers can design and build technology that respects human rights.

The c't <webdev> 2024 conference will be held from November 13 to 14 in Cologne. On the day before, November 12, there will be three full-day workshops where you can deepen your knowledge on individual topics. Sebastian Springer will show in his Workshop how to build a complete application with next.js. Nils Röhrig will give you an overview on full stack development with Svelte & SvelteKit. And Marco Emrich and Sebastian Rose will give you an overview on different „schools“ of test-driven development and which approach is best suited in which context.

A workshop ticket costs 879 Euros. Tickets for the conference cost 749 Euros, full conference passes with one additional workshop pass cost 1.549 Euros - if you book at the early bird rate, which is valid until 16.10.. Afterwards they will cost 849 and 1.649 Euros. Here are more information.
