Django Con US - Videos

[Jochen G.]

The Django Con US was recently and all talks are recorded and accessible:
https://2021.djangocon.us/talks/

I watched a few, I liked the following
https://2021.djangocon.us/talks/modern-javascript-for-django-developers/

https://2021.djangocon.us/talks/rest-hateoas-django-it-s-ok-to-not-use/

https://2021.djangocon.us/talks/htmx-frontend-revolution/

The first one somewhat convinced me that for our purposes we don't
really want/need a REST-framework for our site. We don't really want to
decouple the backend and frontend. It is quite a bit simpler to use all
the technology from django on the frontend for authentication,
validation, etc, and not redo everything with a JavaSript framework. A
hybrid approach seems more the way to go, or using HTMX, i.e. using
JavaScript without using JavaScript.

The discovery of HTMX resulted in the new active search page for names.
