The Future Soon

In this talk I will go over the new component authoring format, template tag or .gjs and .gts. The talk is intended for a more intermediate audience as we will be focusing on more complex component patterns, in conjunction with usage of tracked built-ins and resources. We will cover topics such as: - Introduction to template tag components, including syntax and strict mode. - Examples of template-only components, and components with local variables and fuctions (class-less components) - Examples of importing framework-provided and addon-provided template helpers and modifiers - Component composition patterns - Local components - Dynamic components - Using tracked built-in classes in components - Patterns for Array and Map - Using Resources - Examples with cell, use - Working with data fetching - What and how you can use today in your applications and addons

The Ember Guides in French 🇫🇷

Translating the Ember Guides to French? English is accepted as the common language developers use to share their work, so what’s the point? Is a translation really worth it? I’ll tell you a bit about this in this talk. To sum it up: there’s a huge difference between being able to set a few variable names in English in a codebase and understanding advanced topics covered by the documentation. I consider language as part of the accessibility, and I strongly believe the Ember Guides deserve to be as accessible as possible because they’re not only about learning Ember, they’re about getting what you’re doing to become a better developer.

In the main part of the talk, we will learn how the Ember Guides are built and what are the challenges to customize a fork to create this kind of translated website. We will explore three technical aspects: a bit of Ember magic to customize the UI, a series of amazing spell-checking tools maintained by unifiedjs collective, and a bunch of git commands to follow the official Ember Guides updates. Along the way, I’ll mention an addon with the barbaric name of “guidemaker-ember-locale-template”, which aims at being flexible enough to help with any translation project for the Ember Guides. So who knows, maybe this talk could be inspiring?

I write Fantasy novels, which has nothing to do with dev ; but I am also interested in writing good docs and I am not scared about translation work, which has a lot to do with dev.

Scaling Frontend Excellence: Supercharging Productivity with Dedicated Infrastructure Teams

Having individuals consistently work on Frontend Infrastructure can supercharge your organization by creating a separation of concerns between infra and product, making your product engineers more productive and helping your organization keep up to date with modern advancements in technology.

When codebases are small it’s easier for product engineers to make updates improving frontend infrastructure alongside their regular product work. Unfortunately, when codebases and teams scale, this becomes harder to do well. Large codebases become harder to maintain over time, resulting in longer timeframes to make sweeping improvements or adopt new standards. This makes it untenable to rely solely on product engineers to make sporadic improvements due to conflicting priorities with their team.

But how should this team operate? How should it decide what to work on? How should it measure success? I’ll be discussing our journey to adopt such a team. We’ll cover how we think about our roadmap, how we prioritise work and how we measure and define success.

Panel: Ember – Why and Where?

We'll be talking with a group of panelists about why their teams chose Ember and why they continue to build on it today. We'll also talk about what use cases and non-use cases for Ember are. We'll be openly talking about the concerns the ecosystem currently has about Ember's future and hear about the factors that companies with significant investments in Ember consider when making decisions about their future investment in the framework.
