Edge computing is increasingly being adopted by web developers these days to improve UX and decrease latency of their applications. Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, Netlify Edge Functions, and Vercel Edge Functions, all have made edge computing available to developers of full stack applications. With this adoption new architectural patterns and anti-patterns for building web applications have emerged. In this talk we’ll cover how developers can utilize edge computing to build full-stack applications and what are the strengths and weaknesses of this approach. We’ll also look into the future — beyond the edge, and explore how thinking of the network as the computer will fundamentally change the architecture of web applications in order to make building planet-scale applications accessible to everyone.

As any Remixologist will tell you, modern web apps are just pages/links/forms layered in spinners/latency/jank. If that's true, we should use Remix and web fundamentals everywhere to build better experiences! But what about highly interactive apps with streaming data and visualizations? Just how far should we push the envelope? Let's find out! In this talk, we'll implement a multi-user musical instrument with Remix, (ab)using things like: - Forms and FormData - Web Audio - Browser history - Progressive enhancement - Full stack components - Response and Server-sent events Speaker Bio: Jon Jensen is a Senior Software Engineer at Netflix working to improve the developer experience for other UI engineers.

The Remix Form and Action have drastically simplified our forms. While it's easy to validate form data on the server, people have always been searching for a good client-side form validation solution. What if we could use the platform to implement simple client-side validation without adding another dependency? In this talk, we'll explore how to utilize the Constraint Validation API to provide a modern form validation experience in Remix. Speaker Bio: Edmund Hung is a senior web developer from Hong Kong who works on the global online food-ordering and delivery platform, Delivery Hero.

Modern web development is fantastic. There are so many great tools available! Modern web development is exhausting. There are so many great tools available! Each of these sentiments is true. What’s great is that most of the time, it’s hard to make a choice that is wrong. Seriously. The trade-offs of most of the frameworks and tools you could use to build your application fit within the constraints of the vast majority of apps. Despite this, engineers consistently struggle with analysis paralysis. Let's talk about this, and a solution I am working on for it. Speaker Bio: Kent C.

It started life as a create-react-app landing page in front of a vendor’s SaaS app that got an instant SEO upgrade with Remix v1.1.1’s server side rendering, and it’s never looked back. Need an unauthenticated version of “portal” content before the SaaS vendor supported it? Remix made that easy. Need to migrate content from a 25 year old on-premise vendor solution to a 10 year old on-premise vendor solution but want a modern user experience? We import the vendor’s design library into Remix and handoff the .NET app’s existing user sessions to Remix by POSTing JWTs. Remix is filling the gaps for Schoolcraft College and leveraging a hodgepodge of APIs and creaky old databases. Higher education development can be fun! Speaker Bio: Brandon Kish is a web developer at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, Michigan. He previously taught web design to community college students and misses the CSS Zen Garden. https://remix.run/conf/2023/speakers/brandon-kish
Want to get rich? Step 1: Buy *.ai domain Step 2: Create pitch deck and start picking out private jets You've already got your Remix app, now just layer on some OpenAI GPT-3/4 so you can justify one of those .ai domains and raise a bunch of money. We'll look at how to utilize a Large Language Model (LLM) in a Remix app. We'll unpack some interesting performance constraints, and identify the technical mechanics to work around them. Speaker Bio: Andrew Petersen is a full-stack developer with over a decade of professional experience. He excels at leading development teams and collaborating with non-technical stakeholders.

How do you build community? Especially around a web framework on the cusp of a public v1 release right as society is reopening after a global pandemic? It's not too dissimilar from building a website: trial and error, continuous delivery, teamwork, and a lot of optimism and emojis 😅 In this talk I will share the history and lessons learned from building the Remix Austin meetup. How we went from a single meeting of 2 people in a loud bar, to a community of engineers of varying experience who regularly meet to share demos, talks, and even build a website together. My hope is that our trial and error will be inspiration for anyone trying to build their own tech community. Additionally I hope to encourage the larger Remix community to continue building better websites by cultivating a culture of sharing and connectedness.
