In this report Sjoerd Valk (@Sjoerdus) and Martijn van der Wijst (@vanderwise) try to sum up their experiences in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. They stayed in Cluj during the 17th and 21st of April to attend the JSHeroes conference, a frontend conference all about JavaScript. Presented by heroes of the JavaScript open source community. Although most of the speakers admitted they weren’t really heroes, the very last speaker gave his talk in a hero-esque costume.
This year marks only the second edition of JSHeroes, but it’s organized really professional. Speakers are from all over the world, and the location is a chique hotel. A few kilometers out of the city center. Its grandeur reminds us a bit of the Grand Budapest Hotel. The name too by the way: the Grand Hotel Italia.
On Wednesday we followed an Angular Masterclass. Thursday and Friday are the JSHeroes conference days. The talks are just 30 minutes each. A quick pace and quite diverse topics. The popular frameworks (React, Angular and Vue) were covered much, but also webfonts, Codesandbox, and V8, the engine behind JavaScript.
