Web for Everyone – Accessibility with React 

With the growing community and great tutorials, it’s fairly easy nowadays to start building web applications with React. However, the vital aspect of accessibility is often missing which leads to web applications creating exclusions. Nothing in React prevents us from building accessible web experiences, but we need to learn to harness its power in the right way while dealing with some unique challenges caused by creating web pages with JavaScript. This talk will focus on how to solve these issues in the context of React. It’ll also emphasize why it is important to build accessible web apps. In the end, I will also share some cool things that chrome dev tools provide you in order to make your web app more accessible.

TypeScript Beyond the Basics 

TypeScript is fairly approachable when we sprinkle a few types on our existing JavaScript. Things can get tricky, however, when we want to reach for TypeScript's more advanced features. In this talk, we'll go beyond the basics and look at a handful of useful TypeScript features that require a bit more work to grok, including generics, lookup types, template literal types, and more.
