Join Us for an Exclusive Webinar on React to Next.js Migration

Transitioning from a React-based environment to Next.js can be a daunting task, filled with potential pitfalls and challenges.
However, with the right expertise and best practices, this migration can significantly enhance your web application's performance and capabilities.
This webinar offers invaluable insights into the real-world experiences of professionals who have successfully navigated this transition.

Discover why Ariel Shulman convinced her team to adopt Next.js and gain a comprehensive understanding of the migration process through Roy Kass’s practical guidance.
This event is tailored for frontend and full stack team managers, as well as engineering managers, who are eager to optimize their workflows and embrace cutting-edge web development practices.

On the Agenda:

17:00-17:45: Taking the Next Step // Ariel Shulman, Software Engineer at Illumex

Around a year ago, I tried to convince my boss that we should migrate to Next.js.
He gave me 2 days to put together a slideshow to try and convince the team (spoiler: it worked!).
The first part of my talk will be the same presentation I gave my team last year.
In the second part, I'll go over the prerequisites for such a migration from React to Next.js – the considerations, the benefits, where it's going to hurt, and the things I wish I knew a year ago.
About Ariel:
Ariel is a Full Stack Developer at Illumex who enjoys designing for scale, deep diving into architectures, and public speaking at conferences and meetups.
When not behind a keyboard, she's likely surfing or playing guitar.


17:45-18:30: Conquering the Migration: From React to Next.js //Roy Kass, Front End Tech Lead & Head of Academy Circle at Tikal

Starting with a new technology can be straightforward, and this is true for Next.js.
But what do you do when you need to migrate a large React application to Next.js?
Can this be done step-by-step?
How do you manage existing infrastructure, like your authentication provider, or your handling of URL params, and integrate tools like Playwright and Storybook, along with handling fonts and images?
Find out the solutions to these questions—if you're up for the challenge!
About Roy:
Roy is a frontend tech lead and architect at Tikal, where he also heads the Academy Circle. With many years of experience in the frontend industry, Roy is not only skilled in tech but also passionate about sharing his knowledge. When he's not coding, you'll find him as a hardcore gamer or hitting the gym.
