Progressive Web Applications are a new way of creating installable web-based mobile applications. They are quick to install and address some of the weaknesses of traditional native mobile applications while allowing some advanced features such as push notifications and offline use.

This presentation explains what PWA's are and the tech's history, why they are a great match for some of your customers and what are the potential pitfalls.

This is a high-level presentation aimed for business leaders, sales people and in general people new to PWA's.

Innovation & The future

Design systems are hot and trendy right now because they are cost effective. By collecting documented UI artefacts (components, styles, themes, layouts…), they ease the collaboration between designers and developers, and they allow the reuse of the same design on several Web applications.

One of the issues challenging their adoption is their availability as universal corporate assets, agnostic about technical stacks. We solved this by packaging them as WebAssembly microservices, available on the edge, on the cloud and directly in browsers.

However, defining an API data format (high-level, declarative, serializable, safe, idempotent, stateless....) for those rendering services was not an easy task.

We are Drupal lovers. So, after evaluating other protocols (Protobuf, Graphql, RSC Wire…), we got a fresh look at the Render API and we fell in love again. This 15 year old API is a bit quirky and dusty, but also inspiring, standing the test of time, with clever ways of managing nesting, aggregation, alteration (preprocessing), data bubbling, caching…

So, our new API works like a charm, while being strongly and proudly inspired by 15 years of Drupal wisdom. We will show you what we kept, and also what we changed to make data structure flatter, 30% more compact, more consistent and predictable. With some ideas which could find their way to Drupal Core.

Project Management & Business

In this session we will talk about how the perspective on work changes when you have responsibility for a group of people. What is missing from the developer's job. What you can do to avoid communication problems. What factors you need to consider to know if this type of work will make you happy. To finish with a reflection on whether it is worth accepting this type of job where you have more responsibility.

Speaker biography

I have lived all my life in Cáceres, a small town in western Spain. I've been dedicated to web development for more than 20 years and the last 13 years doing exclusively Drupal. I've always been linked to the open source world, but it's in Drupal where I've been more involved. I've been since 2017 in the board of the Spanish Drupal Association, collaborating with the organization of drupalcamps and contributing to the code and translations into Spanish whenever I have time.
