Components - more than a shinny frenzy

Workshop abstract

More often than not developers fall into the trap of wanting to use some shinny trend heard in the IT world and that is no different with web components. Do you really understand the design decisions behind the concept of web components? In this talk we’ll take a deep dive into what it is all about.

In the last few years the term web components have become a main stay in frontend development and web development at large. This popularity as usual tends to come with a huge adoption in the industry albeit without people actually understanding the core concepts behind this new frenzy they’ve encountered. This isn’t limited to juniors alone. The goal of this talk is to give a deep dive into the background behind components, where it came from, how it has evolved and possibly what we might see in the future.
