Talk #1
Writing Docs in a Standard, Not a CMS
Description:
Documentation sites need to deliver complex content to their readers, but most content management systems are inflexible vendor-based tools that focus on blogs & don't support existing standards like DocBook XML or AsciiDoc markdown. What happens when you need to embed a list in a table, but your CMS doesn't even support tables? This talk explores how the AsciiDoctor plugins for Hugo & Gatsby enables writers to author finely-tuned documentation in a flexible, portable, future-proof standard.

Talk #2
Tadas Antanavicius, Software Engineer, Commure
Title: Moving Fast Without Breaking Things: TypeScript, GraphQL, & the JAMStack
Description: The world is begging for more JAMStack applications. There is no limit on the amount of software that can make peoples' daily lives at least a little bit better. With the JAMStack, we stand on the shoulders of giants handling all of our cross-cutting concerns - leaving us to solve the niche pain points that were previously unprofitable & uneconomical to address.
With that ability comes both opportunity & responsibility. In this talk, we'll cover how leveraging modern tooling in the form of TypeScript & GraphQL (Apollo, Hasura/Graphcool/Prisma) can make iterating on your complex JAMStack apps not only fast but also surprisingly reliable & bug-free.
