### Beyond the Framework: Building Resilient Front-End Architectures

### Presentation by Hunter Trammell

As front-end applications grow in complexity, establishing a clear, scalable architecture is essential. But with the ever-evolving landscape of front-end development, how do you design systems that are both flexible and maintainable over time? This session will explore common patterns in front-end architecture, focusing on strategies for building apps that are easy to scale, update, and debug.

We’ll dive into the foundational principles of front-end architecture, including modularity, componentization, and separation of concerns. Then, we will look at how we can apply those principles to patterns such as atomic design and event-driven architecture.

By the end of this session, attendees will have a toolkit of architecture patterns they can apply to their own projects, along with insights into how to choose the right technology for the task. Whether you're working on a small marketing site or a large-scale enterprise system, this session will help you make thoughtful front-end architectural decisions that set your team up for success and keep your hairline in check.

### Building a Better IDE: Visual Programming

### Presentation by Trevor Glauz

In this session I will present problems programmers of all skill levels face when writing textual code, and how to address them with visual programming. I have prepared a demonstration of a prototype IDE that allows users to define programs using a node graph architecture rather than writing plain text.
