Come to the workshop with some basic knowledge in React (with hooks) and we'll teach you some of the most reliable and resilient patterns for creating advanced React code that can be re-used in your applications. This workshop will be ideal for those creating "library code". In other words, highly composable and reusable code to be shared across an organization or a large project.
Date & time: May 31, 9:00-18:00 CEST. In-person in Amsterdam, the venue – TBA.
More and more projects are using TypeScript. This workshop will provide a deep dive into the language, and basic TypeScript knowledge is assumed. We will briefly discuss the design philosophy of TypeScript, and then cover all the lesser-known or harder features. That is: do all the cool and weird meta programming stuff (TS is turing complete!) and learn the tricks you won't find in the handbook.
So join if you feel like you're writing too much type annotations to make TypeScript happy! We'll dive deep into how type inference and control flows works, and how you can make the compiler work for you. We'll discuss all the fancier language constructs like:
- ReturnType<>, Parameters<>
- typeof, keyof
- Mapped types
- ConditionalTypes
- Function overloading
- Discrimination unions
- Type guards and type assertions
- String template types
- (Variadic) tuple types
Date & time: May 31, 9:00-18:00 CEST. In-person in Amsterdam, the venue – TBA.
React 18 was a long-awaited release. New APIs were introduced and certain behaviour changed. Some of these changes have quite an impact on your daily development, while others rarely affect you. Nevertheless, only by knowing your tools can you best decide when to use which of them.
In order to get a deep understanding of these new APIs and behaviour changes we will explore the following topics:
- new concurrent rendering APIs: useTransition, startTransition, useDeferredValue
- new Hooks: useId, useSyncExternalStore, useInsertionEffect
- strict effects in the new Strict Mode and revisiting useEffect
- automatic batching and flushSync
- sneak peek into what's coming after React 18 including a brief introduction into
and for data fetching
Date & time: June 7-8, 17:00-21:00 CEST. Remote via Zoom.

In this workshop, we’ll build a game using the PlayCanvas WebGL engine from start to finish. From development to publishing, we’ll cover the most crucial features such as scripting, UI creation and much more.
Date & time: June 12, 16:00-19:00 CEST. Remote via Zoom.
Building instant-on web applications at scale have been elusive. Real-world sites need tracking, analytics, and complex user interfaces and interactions. We always start with the best intentions but end up with a less-than-ideal site.
QwikCity is a new meta-framework that allows you to build large-scale applications with constant startup-up performance. We will look at how to build a QwikCity application and what makes it unique. The workshop will show you how to set up a QwikCitp project. How routing works with layout. The demo application will fetch data and present it to the user in an editable form. And finally, how one can use authentication. All of the basic parts for any large-scale applications.
Along the way, we will also look at what makes Qwik unique, and how resumability enables constant startup performance no matter the application complexity.
Date & time: June 14, 18:00-19:30 CEST. Remote via Zoom.
This session will focus on Starbeam's universal building blocks. We'll use Starbeam to build a data library that works in multiple frameworks.
We'll write a library that caches and updates data, and supports relationships, sorting and filtering.
Rather than fetching data directly, it will work with asynchronously fetched data, including data fetched after initial render. Data fetched and updated through web sockets will also work well.
All of these features will be reactive, of course.
Imagine you filter your data by its title, and then you update the title of a record to match the filter: any output relying on the filtered data will update to reflect the updated filter.
In 90 minutes, you'll build an awesome reactive data library and learn a powerful new tool for building reactive systems. The best part: the library works in any framework, even though you don't think about (or depend on) any framework when you built it.
Date & time: June 16, 15:00-18:00 CEST. Remote via Zoom.
The workshop overviews key architecture principles, design patterns, and technologies used to build microservices in the Node.js stack. It covers the theory of the GRPC framework and protocol buffers mechanism, as well as techniques and specifics of building isolated services using the monorepo approach with lerna and yarn workspaces, TypeScript. The workshop includes a live practical assignment to create a currency converter application that follows microservices paradigms. It fits the best developers who want to learn and practice GRPC microservices pattern with the Node.js platform.
Date & time: June 7, 16:00-19:00 CEST. Remote via Zoom.
Platformatic allows you to rapidly develop GraphQL and REST APIs with minimal effort. The best part is that it also allows you to unleash the full potential of Node.js and Fastify whenever you need to. You can fully customise a Platformatic application by writing your own additional features and plugins. In the workshop, we’ll cover both our Open Source modules and our Cloud offering:
- Platformatic OSS (open-source software) — Tools and libraries for rapidly building robust applications with Node.js (oss.platformatic.dev).
- Platformatic Cloud (currently in beta) — Our hosting platform that includes features such as preview apps, built-in metrics and integration with your Git flow (platformatic.dev).
In this workshop you'll learn how to develop APIs with Fastify and deploy them to the Platformatic Cloud.
(We’ll be shipping lots more features at JSNation, stay tuned for updates!)
Date & time: TBC. Remote via Zoom.
So, you have a killer web app you've built and want to take it from your web browser to the App Store. Sure, there are a lot of options here, but most will require you to maintain separate apps for each platform. You want your codebase to be as close as possible across Web, Android, and iOS. Thankfully, with Capacitor, you can take your existing web app and quickly create native iOS and Android apps for distribution on your favorite App Store!
Contents: This workshop is aimed at beginner developers that have an existing web application, or are interested in mobile development. We will go over:
- What is Capacitor
- How does it compare to other cross-platform solutions
- Using Capacitor to build a native application using your existing web code
- Tidying up our application for distribution on mobile app stores with naming conventions, icons, splash screens and more

The biggest JS party worldwide
Who says that JavaScript is only for serious business? You can actually power an entire party by JS, and JSNation will show you how.
Amsterdam is known for its nightlife and all our attendees get an invitation to join in. If you get full access, you'll get to see various kinds of performances made with JS at the biggest JS party worldwide on June 2.
Aside from that, the extended program for in-person attendees will also offer a karaoke party and silent disco with music for everyone playing on 3 channels. Afterwards, on June 3, we'll explore the capital of the Netherlands together at walking tours and boat tours.
- So come hang out with your fellow devs in Amsterdam! June 2 – afterparty at the same venue; June 3 – walking tours and boat tours.

The main goal of this project is to shed some light on great open source projects that don’t receive enough attention on a regular basis.
We’re looking at OSS projects or initiatives following an open and transparent culture, especially those eager to collaborate and receive contributions from anyone interested.
GitHub stars are not our criteria, and we’re looking for hidden gems that may not have enough marketing power or huge companies behind them.
We try our best to make all our events accessible and inclusive for a diverse audience. Get in touch with us if you wish to support this initiative, and help us provide Diversity Scholarships for the underrepresented groups in tech.
