Kubernetes (K8S) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containers. In this hands-on workshop, we'll cover everything you need to sound smart at a job interview and begin your Kubernetes learning journey. Our journey will begin with explaining what Kubernetes is, and how application infrastructure evolved to get us to this point. We'll have hand-on demos that cover: building a container with our own code, deploying containers to a Kubernetes cluster, deploying complex applications with the Helm Package Manager, how people see our cluster with Kubernetes Networking, and other common Kubernetes API Objects.
Since this is a hands-on workshop, please bring a laptop or other computer capable of connecting to WiFi and connecting to a computer via SSH. The speaker will provide a work environment in the public cloud for all students.

If you've ever built a form using React, you'll know that there can be massive headaches involved to get the U.X. just right.
Luckily, there are libraries like Formik that allow you to supplement some of these issues with building forms in React.
Unfortunately, these libraries have downsides of their own. Let's build our own from scratch and see if we can't solve some of those problems.

Web Components provide a modular way to build a consistent design system and user experience across your entire application. Instead of copy / pasting the same chunks of coded into various places, you can have a JavaScript / HTML expert focus on getting the UX correct, in a reusable way, without needing to use a full blown JavaScript framework.
Web Components offer reusable functionality on the front-end, with native JavaScript. They are a great middle-ground between standard request / response based applications, and apps that aren't quite ready to move to a full-on JavaScript SPA framework. Web Components themselves are 100% native JavaScript - no new libraries required! Let's learn how Web Components work, then look at integrating them into an application -- I promise it's easier than you think!
Target Audience: Developers looking to learn more about writing reusable JavaScript and UI components that are platform independent. This talk will spend a little time going over connecting the front-end code to an API. Attendees should already be well versed using API endpoints that return JSON, as well as a basic understanding of OOP fundamentals such as Classes, Objects, and Inheritance.
Main Takeaways:
- Creating your first Web Component
- Interactivity with Web Components
- Connecting to a back-end
- A quick look at using Lit to build things
- Pros and Cons
- Next steps and other resources
