GraphQL: basics and emotions
Evgenii will take us through the basics of GraphQL, and explain how GraphQL concepts led to the establishment of proactive community, and creation of a vast ecosystem, with different tools and libraries, which benefits both user and developer experience
Evgenii Shkodin, Front-end developer, Evil Martians
The voice path

Nelly Kam, product designer, Alan AI
Semantics for Cynics
Okay Google: why do I need semantics and tags apart from <div>? I don’t give a damn about specs or making “what’s right”, I think inmates are in charge of web standards asylum and CSS for me is Client Side Scripting. My <Link/> with onclick is hundred times easier than <a> or <button> dilemma. Only useful tags and markup practices without myths and fairy tales for true full-stacks.
