In this session, we'll show how to build a real-time weather visualisation app on Google Cloud using DeepMind's WeatherNext dataset. You'll learn how to process forecasts with Dataflow, generate map tiles stored in Cloud Storage, and serve them seamlessly with Cloud Run. The application will display a 2D world map with coastlines, borders, and layers for temperature, rainfall, and wind. We'll also cover techniques for animating wind flows and optimising performance for real-time exploration. By the end, you'll have a practical blueprint for creating your own scalable geospatial applications.",

From the early days of vanilla Redux boilerplate to newer contenders like Zustand and Recoil, teams often find themselves asking: Which library is right for us, and why?\r\n\r\nIn this talk, we'll revisit the “state management wars” with fresh eyes in 2025.\r\n\r\n- MobX — reactive power and complex observable models, where it still outshines others.\r\n- Redux Toolkit — the “batteries-included” ecosystem for large, predictable apps.\r\n- Zustand — lightweight stores, hooks-first API, and why it's trending in modern React apps.\r\n- Recoil — atom/selectors and concurrent rendering, but where adoption struggles.\r\n\r\nBeyond syntax, we'll dive into real trade-offs: performance at scale, developer experience, ecosystem maturity, debugging tools, and team onboarding.\r\n\r\nAttendees will walk away with a decision framework, not just a comparison chart:",

With the new Signals reactivity primitive, we're moving beyond Zone.js to embrace a fine-grained, predictable change detection model that delivers blazing-fast runtime performance.

The new build system powered by Vite and esbuild, combined with deferrable views and streamlined control flow, slashes build times and dramatically shrinks bundle sizes. This talk will be your guide to Angular's modern toolkit, demonstrating how these features converge to create applications that are faster to build, faster to load, and a joy to develop.",
