No-code tools and platforms are evolving and they are not terrible anymore. You are finally able to create good-quality, dynamic websites and mobile applications without the need to write a single line of code. In this presentation, I will show you two of the best tools to create Beautiful dynamic websites, and custom designed mobile applications with api calls inside it. The goal of this talk is to show how far we have come to convert our designs directly into actual software.

The effects of floods can be devastating to human quality of life, and sometimes even deadly. While there is often little we can do to stop a pending flood, early and accurate forecasts can significantly reduce the destructive impact. The Research Council of Norway (Norges Forskningsråd) is funding a pre-commercial project called “Flomrespons” which aims to develop better local flood forecasting and warning systems. Knowit, together with Pipelife, NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) and Telenor has been for the past year working on a solution using low-energy electronics, Narrowband IoT and machine learning.

There are a ton of libraries and patterns to do state management in a React application. However, using actual state machines isn't usually on the list. In this presentation, I will introduce XState, which is a javascript finite state machine and state charts library and then I will show you how you can utilize it to make your state management solution much more convenient. Moreover, I will demonstrate how you can visualize and even share your application's state logic using state charts.

We create technology and we aim to develop “zero-defects” software products that correspond to the necessities of our customers, but when writing code, we also, unwillingly and unwantedly, create bugs. As we tackle the errors as developers: what skills should we use, what are the stages of debugging, and what kind of mindset we should have? In this presentation, I will try in brief to suggest answers to these questions.

Small microcontrollers and IoT-units are everywhere and when connected to different kinds of electronic sensors are capable of collecting all kinds of interesting data about their surroundings. However, if we wish to use this data as input to a machine learning model hosted somewhere on the internet we are faced with several challenges including increased battery usage and privacy concerns. What if we instead could run our model directly on the device itself? In this presentation we will go through all steps necessary to run TensorFlow models on a microcontroller using TensorFlow Lite, with a live demonstration using a ESP32 camera module.

When I made the website of the organisation named Garmeres I came over several challenges: Their requirement of supporting multiple Sámi languages as well as a high degree of flexibility in content language drastically narrowed down which CMS-services could be used. SEO was also a challenge because Google does not support all of the Sámi language codes, and when I ran Lighthouse tests none of the Sámi language codes were recognised at all. The Sámi languages are endangered by extinction, and unfortunately there are few to none good examples of best practices for developing websites supporting Sámi languages. I wish to speak about the challenges I met developing garmeres.com and how I solved them, with the hope of giving Sámi languages a place in the professional environment of frontend development.

Dark is a new all-in-one development environment, including a language, a web-server and an IDE. It's an exciting new way to write backends, combining existing ideas in new original ways. Although in beta, it is mature enough for rapid prototyping and personal projects. In this talk we'll go through what makes the Dark platform unique compared to more traditional backend stacks. We will also be doing a live demo, building a backend from scratch.
