-------------------------------------------------
Aaron Siladi: React Hooks + Three.js
This talk will contain general background info about the experimental new React Hooks API, & show an example of using it to create hybrid React/Three.js components. You'll learn how to create components that have interesting side effects beyond what you can do with the classic lifecycle methods that exist today.
About Aaron

About Justin
Justin is a software engineer working on Dropbox Paper. He's the keeper of emoji, & the hanger of punctuation. He wrote all of the bugs-and most of the features-in Paper's presentation mode. He's passionate about building great user experiences & products that help people be more productive. He abuses horizontal ellipses more than any other punctuation mark
Talk 3

Swizec Teller: The modern web is crazy productive
https://twitter.com/swizec
When I started building products some 10 years ago, the web was a dark place.
* Wanna charge a credit card? At least a week of work.
* Wanna store user info? You better know how to run & host MySQL.
* Want to go live? Good luck configuring Nginx or Apache.
* Want a dynamic experience on the frontend? Browsers don't even use the same JavaScript.
Nowadays you can conceptualize & launch a product in 1 day. React makes it super easy to build webapps, UI kits mean you don't need design skills, Gatsby makes your stuff fast, GraphQL makes it easy to get data, Serverless means you never have to configure a server again.
Honestly it's amazing. We live in the future.
This talk, inspired by the #24hrstartup challenge, is about how all of a sudden you actually can build a startup in one day.
