About this talk
This talk explores the Signals API in JavaScript and its potential to reshape reactivity in building user interfaces. The speaker, Ilko, compares Signals with other reactive programming techniques including Proxies and Observables, highlighting the advantages and limitations of each. Through a live coding demonstration, he showcases how to create a fully reactive application using Signals without any frameworks like React or Vue. The session also delves into the evolution of signals in contemporary frameworks like SolidJS and the movement towards their standardization within the JavaScript ecosystem, providing insights on where signals excel and the future of frontend state management. Ilko, an IT Team Lead at Enetpulse, brings his extensive experience in JavaScript and UI performance to this engaging session.
