ReactFoo 2017

A conference on React

About the conference: ReactFoo is a single-day React conference by HasGeek.

We’ll be annoucing the theme shortly

##Format
We are inviting proposals for:
Full-length 40 minute talks.
Crisp 15-minute talks.
Hands-on Workshop sessions, 3 and 6 hour duration.

##Selection process
Proposals will be filtered and shortlisted by an Editorial Panel. Please make sure to add links to videos / slide decks when submitting proposals. This will help us understand your speaking experience and delivery style. Blurbs or blog posts covering the relevance of a particular problem statement and how it is tackled will help the Editorial Panel better judge your proposals. We might contact you to ask if you’d like to repost your content on the official conference blog.

We expect you to submit an outline of your proposed talk – either in the form of a mind map or a text document or draft slides within two weeks of submitting your proposal.

Selection Process Flowchart

You can check back on this page for the status of your proposal. We will notify you if we either move your proposal to the next round or if we reject it. Selected speakers must participate in one or two rounds of rehearsals before the conference. This is mandatory and helps you to prepare well for the conference.

A speaker is NOT confirmed a slot unless we explicitly mention so in an email or over any other medium of communication.

There is only one speaker per session. Entry to the conference is free for selected speakers. As our budget is limited, we prefer speakers from locations closer home, but will do our best to cover for anyone exceptional. HasGeek provides these limited grants where applicable: two international travel and accommodation grants, three domestic travel and accommodation grants. Grants are limited and made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes or longer). Speaker travel grants will be given in order of preference to students, women, persons of non-binary genders, and individuals for Asia and Africa first.

##Commitment to open source
HasGeek believes in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like for it to be available under a permissive open source licence. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licences (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognise that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support us in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a “sponsored session”.

##Important dates:
Deadline for submitting proposals: 23 August 2017

**Conference date: ** 14 September 2017

For more information about speaking proposals, tickets and sponsorships, contact info@hasgeek.com or call +91 76763 32020.

Please note, we will not evaluate proposals that do not have a slide deck and a video in them.

Practical performance tips building Progressive web apps

Submitted May 9, 2017

I will be talking about my learning on performance techniques used to make Uber mobile web using React as fast as possible.

In mobile web it’s always very important to render the initial screen as soon as possible. I will talk about how I achieved this by various webpack techniques.

I will also be talking about caching using service worker and how it affected the speed of repeat visits.

Outline

  • I’ll be starting by talking about my motivation to do this.
  • Will give information about various companies which have built PWA and how it helped them.
  • Will then talk about the web app(clone of Uber app) I built to work on performance.
  • Will then go in details on 5 important steps and what are performance benefits it has give me.
  • Also will talk few other performance tips which could be used in the application.

Requirements

This is for all the devs who care about performance and who think twice before adding any external library.

Speaker bio

Frontend Developer at Booking.com. Working on React & Redux since a year. Hate slow websites and strongly believe that web performance is a key for conversion.
