React Conference in London

In this workshop we'll dive into the latest advancements in React and best practices for building modern React apps. We'll take a look at modern NextJS and React Router 7 Framework (aka Remix) along with React's new "React Server Components". We'll also talk about improving the data-fetching strategies of your SPAs along with options for migrating your SPA to modern React Router.

In this workshop, we will build our first AI Agent – completely from scratch. We will cover the fundamentals of LLMs, explore Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and learn how to use function calling to connect AI with external tools.

By the end, you will have a working AI agent that can autonomously decide which functions and data sources to use. No prior AI experience is required, but basic knowledge of TypeScript is recommended.

After this workshop, you will be able to...

• Understand how Large Language Models (LLMs) work and how they process and generate text.
• Leverage LLMs for specific tasks by designing prompts and integrating them into applications.
• Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to enhance AI responses with external knowledge.
• Use function calling in AI systems to interact dynamically with APIs and data sources.
• Build an AI agent that autonomously selects the right tools and data to complete user tasks efficiently

Who is this workshop for?

No prior knowledge of Artificial Intelligence is necessary, as we’ll cover all the essential concepts during the workshop.

We’ll build the AI agent in a React app, but the core logic will be framework-agnostic and written in TypeScript.

In this workshop, we will explore React's latest features: Server Components, Server Actions, and Forms. Gain insights into optimizing server-side rendering, enhancing application interactivity through Server Actions and React 19 hooks, and mastering form creation for robust data handling and validation.

Designed for developers of all levels, this workshop provides practical skills to build scalable, performant web applications.

In this workshop, we'll go beyond the fundamentals and explore some of the more powerful features React Query has to offer. You'll gain a deeper understanding of how it works under the hood and learn how to write scalable, maintainable React Query code.

Together, we'll build a simple example app and incrementally enhance it with one core objective in mind: delivering the best possible user experience. That means snappy interactions, minimal layout shifts, and avoiding unnecessary loading spinners wherever we can.

To achieve this, we'll dive into advanced techniques like various forms of prefetching (including integration with route loaders), seeding the query cache, crafting smooth paginated experiences, and even persisting query state through full page reloads using persistence plugins.

Note: You should have prior knowledge about React Query if you attend this workshop.
