Testimonials

Sia has definitely mastered the art of keeping a listener engaged. Her humor and ability to communicate technical concepts at the same time is an amazing talent. All information was presented well and provided a long list of notes to take back to my company and coworkers.

-Anonymous attendee feedback from The Progressive Web Experience

Sia’s workshop gave me the guidance and tools I needed to finally begin diagnosing real performance problems in my web applications. Not only did her course shed light on how to solve the issues I knew I had, but it also exposed problems I hadn't discovered yet. Whether you’ve got an application that’s not performing well or if you just want to have a better grasp of the performance tools available, Sia’s Measuring Web Performance workshop is well worth your time.

-Aundra Miller, Software Engineer at Learning.com

Sia was my instructor at Tech Talent South. Thanks to her I've been able to move forward in my career as a Software Developer. Her knowledge and endless patience for our questions created a foundation that I've been building on ever since. She is a fantastic teacher."

-Ryan Hageman, Independent Software Developer

23 Oct 2024 Automatically generating social share images using Cloudinary

Did you ever notice those social media share images that automatically pop up for a site and think to yourself, "wow, it would be really cool if I could get that set up for my blog"? In this talk, Sia will show you how she uses 11ty shortcodes and Cloudinary to generate unique share images for each page and blog post on her site. (Cloudinary has a free tier that's generous enough that most personal sites fit under.)

30 Jun 2021 Introduction to Serverless Functions Using Netlify

Serverless functions are a key skill to know when moving to Jamstack applications or serverless architecture. Going serverless means having no server to manage while also having the ability to scale infinitely. In this talk, we'll start with a basic, static Eleventy website then build in dynamic features like form handling and secure API access using serverless functions. We'll use the Netlify CLI to set up our dev environment and deploy to production on Netlify.

Fonts are lovely but can slow down our loads. How can we make them faster? We all love fonts. From Google Fonts to Typekit, Hoefler&Co and more, they give character and tone to our websites. The down side of fonts is that they can really slow down our loads. In this talk we'll learn about common pitfalls like critical requests depth and how to use resource hints to play tricks with latency to load web applications faster. We'll walk through a network profile to understand what's going on in the browser and how to make it faster.

16 Apr 2020 Modern JavaScript for Modern Browsers

Web performance matters. From SEO to bottom-line revenue impacts, performance can make or break your app. However, fixing performance feels like a quagmire of expert-level topics. What if I told you JavaScript bundle sizes could be cut up to 50% by doing one thing only? Nearly 90% of web traffic runs on modern browsers, but we're transpiling all of our JavaScript to ES5. That’s expensive. In this talk, we'll learn about differential serving, or serving both modern bundles and legacy bundles using webpack. This talk is framework agnostic, and best if you have at least a basic understanding of JavaScript.

05 Dec 2018 The Future of Front-End Performance

Help! My app bundle is 5MB! My users are angry that my app is so slow! It’s easy to forget that performance matters when we are under pressure to deliver features quickly. What data should we use to inform our decisions?

This talk is library-agnostic (React, Angular, Vue, etc.).

04 Dec 2018 Universal React Apps Using Next.js

Every user’s hardware is different, and processing speed can hinder user experience on client-side rendered React applications. Server-side rendering and code-splitting can drastically improve user experience by minimizing the work that the client has to do. It’s easy to get lost in the lingo, so come learn what it all means and how to easily build universal React apps using the Next.js framework. We’ll walk through the concepts and use code examples to cement your understanding. You’ll get the most out of this session if you’re comfortable with React and ES6 syntax.

03 Dec 2018 Responsive Images

17 Oct 2018 Next-level React Workshop: React Router, Redux and More

Come learn about intermediate to advanced topics for building real-world ReactJS Web applications in this full-day workshop. We will start by learning about the core fundamentals of Redux including pure functions, actions, reducers, the store, and subscriptions. Then we will integration Redux into a React app, learning about components vs containers, accessing the store, async actions, middleware, and thunks. Next, we will layer in React Router 4, learning about params, queries, and redirects; prompt before navigation, and scrollToTop. Time permitting and based on audience preferences, we can learn about using component libraries, styling, ES6+, and more! Basic knowledge of React is required for this workshop.

25 Jan 2018 Lightning Fast React Apps

App loading and run-time affect your bottom line. Fancy features aren’t worth anything if users leave the app out of frustration. Every second counts! React is super fast, but you could be shooting yourself in the foot with design decisions. Come learn how to make your React apps lightning fast! Page abandonment increases with every second of load time.Also, profiling and debugging performance issues can seem like an overwhelming topic to learn.In this session, we’ll cover the usual suspects of performance issues, from the basics of using the correct build, to the fundamentals of immutable data, to higher- level tools like Perf, shouldComponentUpdate, PureComponent, and memoizing computed props in Redux. We will both cover the concepts and walk through examples step- by - step so that by the end of this session you will feel like a React Speed Racer.You’ll get the most out of this session if you’re at least comfortable with React and ES6 syntax.
