Vanilla Web: You Don't Need that Library
Do we always need the latest library for every project?
This session invites you to embrace simplicity and speed with Vanilla JS, modern browser APIs, and powerful server architectures.
Learn how to create feature-rich web apps using pure JavaScript and browser APIs—no dependencies needed. We'll explore foundational features like Web Components, Shadow DOM, and client-side routing, as well as how to leverage static site generators for certain projects.
Rediscover the joy of building fast, maintainable apps with a "vanilla" approach.
