Evolution of Form Management in React

Learn how to handle forms in React using the latest features, such as startTransition, useTransition, useOptimistic, and useActionState, with and without React 19 server actions, alongside proper validation, error handling, and best practices.

Overview

The workshop will begin by demonstrating traditional form handling using useState and useEffect for client-side rendering. Gradually, we'll transition to using the latest React 19 features, including server-side forms and the newest hooks for managing form states and errors. By the end of the workshop, participants will understand how to create robust forms with proper validation and error handling.

Learning Goals

• Latest React 19 Hooks — useTransition, useFormStatus, useOptimistic, useActionState, useDeferredValue
• Server Actions
• Revalidations
• Server-side Validation
• Error handling
• Security practices

From Frontend to Full-Stack: Adding Features Without Adding Time

We’re all here because we love React, and we love it because it’s a simple and intuitive system for creating beautiful, interactive websites.

Powerful Data Visualisation with AG Grid & AG Charts

Does your React app have lots (and lots) of data that needs to be displayed in both Data Grids and Charts? Do your users want to interact with, analyse, and work with this data without compromising on performance or reliability? AG Grid provide the best React Data Grid & Charts libraries that are packed with features and provide unbeatable performance whilst being fully customisable. In this workshop, you'll learn how to get started with both AG Grid and AG Charts, learn how to use their key features. You will walk away from this free 3-hour workshop equipped with the knowledge for implementing AG Grid & AG Charts into your React application.

Deploy and Test Full-Stack React Apps on Cloudflare

This 3 hour workshop will provide an introduction to the Cloudflare Developer Platform for application developers. It will focus on developing a full-stack React application backed by tests that can guarantee the correctness of its interactions with the resources and APIs provided by the Developer Platform.

The workshop assumes basic knowledge of TypeScript and React — not much beyond what’s needed to build a hello world app in React using TypeScript! Knowledge of the Developer Platform is also not required as everything Cloudflare related will be introduced as part of the workshop.

So if you’re interested in application development on the (fast and inexpensive!) Cloudflare platform then this workshop is for you. By the end of it you will know how to build a fully-fledged, fully-tested, full-stack web application (using React or any framework of your choice) with a comprehensive testing structure that gives you full confidence and peace of mind.

Agenda

The workshop will include live coding, Q&A, and interactive coding sections. The starting code, alongside instructions will be also made available for participants to revisit and dig deeper after

the workshop.

As part of the initial setup we’ll see how to use the C3 tool to easily deploy applications to Cloudflare in a matter of minutes.

Afterwards, we will see how to write code that interacts with the Developer Platform specific resources and APIs, specifically, we’ll use KVs, R2 buckets and Workers AI. We’ll also make sure to test all the code to make sure that it correctly interacts with the aforementioned APIs via the official Workers Vitest integration.

We will then integrate the Workers code with our React app to build a complete full-stack application ready to be deployed to the Cloudflare edge network. We will use playwright to implement an end-to-end (e2e) suite of tests to make sure that the application integrates perfectly with the Cloudflare platform.

Takeaways

- How to develop on the Cloudflare Workers runtime and interact with various Cloudflare resources

- How to develop, comprehensively test and deploy a full-stack application on the Cloudflare Platform

Tracing: Frontend Issues With Backend Solutions

Frontend issues that affect your users are often triggered by backend problems. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to identify issues causing slow web pages and poor Core Web Vitals using tracing.

Then, try it for yourself by setting up Sentry in a ready-made Next.js project to discover performance issues including slow database queries in an interactive pair-programming session.

You’ll leave the workshop being able to:

- Find backend issues that might be slowing down your frontend apps

- Setup tracing with Sentry in a Next.js project

- Debug and fix poor performance issues using tracing

This will be a live 2-hour event where you’ll have the opportunity to code along with us and ask us questions.

React and Microfrontends

Leveraging reactjs to create reusable microfrontends addressing challenges and common pitfalls.

Llms: What They Are and How to Leverage Them?

Join Nathan in this hands-on session where you will first learn at a high level what large language models (LLMs) are and how they work. Then dive into an interactive coding exercise where you will implement LLM functionality into a basic example application. During this exercise you will get a feel for key skills for working with LLMs in your own applications such as prompt engineering and exposure to OpenAI's API.

After this session you will have insights around what LLMs are and how they can practically be used to improve your own applications.
