Rethinking Front-End Apps with SvelteJS

Svelte is a compiler which understands and converts code into native DOM API calls at build time. Svelte also introduces the concept of Reactive Programming within your components along with patterns that reduce the overall LOC that you end up committing. Speaker Umang Galaiya explains how Svelte allows developers to write components in a way similar to developers first started writing HTML when doing web development.

Since everything is converted to native DOM API calls and not shipping a runtime to the user, apps built with Svelte are faster than those shipped with a runtime (like React or Vue). Svelte also brings in built-in, first-class support for CSS animations and transitions. Therefore developers don’t need to import other libraries into their app to get transitions working.

In this talk, Umang Galaiya introduces the ideas behind Svelte and Svelte itself. He walks audiences through an introductory idea about Svelte and the patterns Svelte introduces. This talk will help developers to experiment with and write performant Svelte components.
