📱 React Native: Embracing Framework-First Development
React Native kicked off ten years ago with a big promise: "Learn once, write anywhere." This sparked all kinds of tools, with Expo stepping in to make React Native way less complicated through its managed workflow.
Fast forward to today, and Expo has evolved into a full-blown framework that's changing how we build mobile apps. My talk will walk through this journey and break down how Expo actually works under the hood now.
We'll examine how Development Builds and Continuous Native Generation (CNG) solve React Native's most challenging aspects: dependency management, version upgrades, and platform configurations — without modifying native code.
Whether you're a web dev curious about mobile or an RN veteran sick of those painful upgrades, you'll see how Expo can make your life a whole lot easier.🐻❄️ Bio: Julius Jokūbauskas

TypeScript is known for its powerful type system, but beneath the surface lies a world of subtle behavior. In this talk, we'll explore the fundamental difference between structural and nominal typing and uncover the magic of branded types for creating safer, domain-specific values. Expect practical examples, edge cases, and tips that will level up your TypeScript game👨💻 Bio: Marius Bajorūnas
