Svelte 5, Tailwind, et al -- Is it the next big thing?
Hot & New Breakout Session

According to surveys, Svelte is one of the most-liked JavaScript frameworks out there. The uptake in the industry has been slow, yet steady. It is an open and community-driven project, built on some strong principles of: - Simplicity - Efficiency - Compiler-framework, as opposed to library framework - Good DevEx Our team successfully delivered a new front-end web app built with Svelte 5, Tailwind, and Typescript using an MVVM architecture with good test coverage. The session introduces these (and more) tech choices in creating a lean workflow and achieving good DevEx. An unintended bonus from these tech choices was the compounding benefit of using AI-assistance. Session includes some code samples, lessons learned, and lots of interactivity (so bring along all your questions.)
