@AlexLakatos Hey! That sounds awesome, sorry to edit your original comment (sooooo sorry, it does feel weird doing it, but I thought it could save some pingpong messages). I took the liberty to fill in some info in our talk details format based on what you wrote. It's how we keep track and organise them. :) Please feel free to edit and write whatever you think is suitable.

Thanks for offering to speak. :)

[AlexLakatos]

No worries, I think this is actually great, thanks for editing. I'll update now with the duration.

State of crypto in Node.js

Topic description

Cryptography is all around us, and that’s a good thing. In a world that increasingly depends on data, leveraging cryptography is mandatory for any modern application that deals with private user data.

As a Node.js core team member, I will focus on the current state of cryptography in Node.js regarding security, interoperability and performance: What has happened, what is about to happen? What are our long-term plans?

Node.js is made for the web and already well-equipped for the challenges of cryptography in today’s applications! You will come away with a deeper understanding of some of these challenges and how to solve them using the Node.js crypto module (and how not to!).

React Inline Styling with JSS

Topic description

Despite countless debates, inline styling is still loved by many web developers. This talk will focus on a specific library (JSS) that is my favorite among the current offerings. It will demonstrate how I ended up using the library by demonstrating the problems I had with other CSS solutions and how I solved them with JSS.

Understanding CSS Custom Properties

Topic description
Custom Properties are still a relatively new feature of CSS. Let me introduce you to the basics, some of the tricks and then show you how to use custom properties in CSS for maintainable large scale applications. Let's dive into some of the challenges of responsive design, global and local scope and theming. If there's time, let's write some code together and explore some of what you can do with custom properties.
