  • Future of the web as a platform (e.g. PWAs, access to native APIs, Web VR etc);
  • WebAssembly: technical details, use cases, success stories;
  • Large-scale web applications: using multiple frameworks in a single app, modernizing legacy applications;
  • Cloud platforms, static webapp hosting (storages, cdns, PaaS e.g. https://www.netlify.com/, Firebase);
