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.

34 years ago HTTP was born, 9 years later HTML v2 added the form element and at about the same time Ruby on Rails showed us the power of server-side mutations with semantic URLs. Along the way, we went full SPA and embraced everything-client. It’s now 2023, a time to leverage the best practices of the past and Remix some classics. Join me as I dive into what it was like to swap our homegrown react framework with Remix and how this change will impact Shopify headless commerce codebases, patterns and performance in the future. Speaker Bio: I'm a Full-stack engineer with a decade of experience developing highly performing e-commerce applications for agencies and brands such as Cuts Clothing, Vuori, Liquid IV amongst many others. Currently, I am a member of the Hydrogen team at Shopify where our focus is to deliver the best framework and tools for developing headless commerce applications. I am passionate about web standards, React and of course Remix. https://remix.run/conf/2023/speakers/jp-prieto

When we build web applications, pretty much always the fun part of it is the happy path: That everything works! But what if something goes wrong? It’s so easy to oversee all the error instances which naturally leads to not covering them well enough. Let’s discuss challenges about errors and explore patterns and tools that can help us make better user experiences when things go wrong. Speaker Bio: Glenn is a software engineer, tech speaker and workshop instructor with a passion for building innovative products and beautiful user interfaces using cutting edge web technologies and open source software such as React, GraphQL and TypeScript. Aside from tech, you’ll find him either traveling, on a road bike or playing the guitar. https://remix.run/conf/2023/speakers/glenn-reyes

Let's look at real world look at a migration from a React SPA and self-managed Express API to Remix on Google Cloud Run in a production setting. At Nellis Auction we made the jump and have insights to share with those of you looking to make the switch as well (hint: the performance boost for our customers was dramatic). Speaker Bio: Brian Lee is the VP of Engineering at Nellis Auction, an advisor at Reality Defender, and is currently seeking Masters in Computer Science at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. Brian graduated from UNLV in 2013. Throughout his career he has worked in many areas, including geographic information systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, custom video streaming, mobile development, and gaming engines. His work has spanned several languages and technologies, but it was always nestled within the web ecosystem. https://remix.run/conf/2023/speakers/brian-lee

I've been running a side business on an old-React/Flux/React Router 3.0 frontend with a Rails backend. Despite being conceptually simple, the frontend was nearly unmaintainable. In this talk we'll explore how React Router data loaders really turned things around for this creaky old site. Speaker Bio: Cameron Matheson likes writing code and hanging out with his family. He's been living in the year of Desktop Linux since 1998. https://remix.run/conf/2023/speakers/cameron-matheson

In this talk we'll explore how Remix and a headless CMS enabled me to build a client app in two weeks, and how the same approach can help you deliver faster for your clients or team as well. I'll show how you can cut your development time, empower content editors to manage content without additional coding, and create a dynamic frontend in parallel. Speaker Bio: Developer advocate by day and content creator by night, Paul Bratslavsky loves learning new things and sharing them with others. He is a big fan of everything Javascript—especially Remix and Strapi. https://remix.run/conf/2023/speakers/paul-bratslavsky

When their inventor, Lou Montulli, came up with the concept for cookies, he couldn’t have known the impact these little packets of data would have on the internet as we know it. Join me in this exciting journey as we uncover the humble beginnings of the HTTP cookie, its maligned use by advertisers, yet evolution into a still quite versatile tool for web developers today. The cookie was unfashionable for a span with Single Page Applications, but with Remix, we can once again easily harness the power of cookies in a secure way. In this talk, we'll dive deep into the world of cookies and explore the variety of ways they can be used in Remix to enhance the user experience and simplify the development process. Whether you're a seasoned developer who remembers the good ol’ days or just starting out, you'll leave with a better understanding of the powerful role cookies play in developing modern web sites with Remix.

You cannot improve what you do not measure, and measuring page performance is at the heart of providing marvellous user experiences. "How To WebPageTest" is a talk where I will demonstrate how modern profiling using WebPageTest will provide the best insights. I'll show you tips and tricks on how to interpret the results, and I'll also expose you to key features that are best in class in performance testing. Speaker bio: Henri is a developer who has turned his interests to a passionate mix of site performance engineering and pinches of user experience, which led to his joining Catchpoint Systems on the WebPageTest Team. When not reading the deluge of daily research docs and case studies, or profiling sites in his favourite tools, Henri can be found contributing back to the community: Toronto Web Performance Group meetup + Jamstack Toronto organizer, curating conference content or volunteering his time for lunch and learns at various bootcamps. Otherwise, Henri is focusing on running the fastest 5k possible (surprise surprise), encouraging a healthy lifestyle via #devsWhoRun. Learn more at https://remix.run/conf/2022/speakers/henri-helvetica
