Katja Potensky
I'm a Principal Software Engineer at adesso with more than a decade of experience of working in most roles on the technical side of projects of every size.
I'd like to think of myself as focused on simplicity and open minded, though I'm told I sometimes come across as untouchable - if you have any questions please just ask me, I don't bite ;)
When I'm not coding I like to ride rally motorcycles and I've been known to tinker with them from time to time - occasionally even with moderate success.

Webcomponents are... well, what are they actually? The basics seem simple enough, the promise is grand, yet there doesn't seem to be that much interest compared to frameworks.
And recently there has even been a bit of resistance from prominent figures.
So, should you give up on the promise of webcomponents? Is the resistance justified?
In this workshop we'll build a few webcomponents, learn a few tricks (or more) along the way and explore where the platform can help us and what should best be left to frameworks.
CSS is a basic requirement on most job applications and many people would think that as long as you know about classes, ids and selectors you're good, right? That one person that knows about pseudo-elements? The go-to contact when it comes to CSS at your company. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit here but the truth is that CSS has a lot of features most people simply don't know about. In this talk we'll take a look at some of the most useful things that have been added to CSS over the past years that can possibly eliminate quite a bit of JS.
