Serverless is a powerful approach for moving code to the cloud, opening up a number of powerful new ways to architect your applications. But serverless can also be confusing, as there are countless options, tons of confusing terms, and conflicting sets of best practices. In this talk we’ll look at how to start with serverless the easy way using Progress Kinvey. You’ll learn how serverless works, and then see a variety of examples designed to get you started right away. Come learn the basics of a serverless approach and how to apply them at your own organization.

It’s 2019 and we’ve achieved the dream: robots that make phone calls for us. Oh, and we can also use JavaScript to build apps for basically any platform. That’s probably the more relevant dream. And because JavaScript can be used to create apps on virtually any platform, developers have created a variety of projects that let you, wait for it, build for multiple platforms—at the same time. I know, right? In this talk, we’ll focus on NativeScript and React Native, both of which give you the ability to build web apps, native iOS apps and native Android apps, simultaneously. You’ll see some amazing demos of these projects in action, and then learn when using these projects is a good idea, and also when it’s a not-good idea. Come learn about using JavaScript for apps and stuff!
