I Can't Believe It's Not JavaScript

When building interactive features on a webpage, JavaScript is usually the way to go. However, with great JavaScript dependencies comes great website instability. Even a minor undefined element can cause your entire webpage to crash.

That’s where going back to the basics comes in. Thanks to modern Web APIs, it’s now possible to reduce JavaScript dependency on a website by swapping out JS components for their native HTML element or CSS feature counterparts.

In this talk, we’ll take a look at how to use HTML and CSS to build simpler alternatives to popular JavaScript components such as accordions, modals, scroll transitions, carousels etc We’ll also take a look at the performance and accessibility benefits and real-life applications and use-cases of these components.
