KEYWORDS: Architecture, Technology, Concept

SPEAKER: Oliver Nautsch   COMPANY: Brixel AG

HTMX provides an innovative solution to the complexity of current web development practices, especially in the context of client-side frameworks and data communication via REST or GraphQL. Seamless integration of server-side responses into the client application minimizes the need for complex state management. The integration of HATEOAS not only improves the scalability and maintainability of applications, but also contributes to a more secure and user-friendly design. HTMX makes it possible to realize sophisticated user interfaces without sacrificing performance or user experience, making it a viable option for enterprise application development.

In this presentation, you will learn how Hypermedia-Driven Applications with HTMX simplify development processes and the advantages and disadvantages of this architecture. We will discuss in which situations HTMX is particularly advantageous and demonstrate through concrete code examples how HTMX can be used in practice. These examples illustrate the integration and use of HTMX for dynamic user interfaces and provide insights into best practices and design patterns. The goal is to provide you with the knowledge to decide if and how HTMX can be used for the development of hypermedia-driven applications in your projects.

The talk will be held in English!
