## Presentations

### Sitecore Headless DevOps Best Practices

**Speaker**: [Luke Pace][8] ([Perficient][9])

What is Sitecore Headless? What is Git DMZ Flow and how do implement in Azure DevOps? [Luke][8] answers these questions and shows how to create build pipeline for Sitecore and Next.js; how to configure Azure PaaS for blue/green deployments; and how to build Azure release pipelines to deploy to Azure PaaS and Vercel.

### A React Crash Course for Sitecore Dinosaurs

**Speaker**: [Brandon Bruno][10] ([Sitecore][11])

I've been developing Sitecore solutions with MVC for more than 10 years, but thanks to headless and composable DXP architectures, I've become a Sitecore dinosaur. Join me, fellow dinosaurs, as we modernize our skills to ensure we're ready for the future.

This session acts as a (very) quick introduction to modern JavaScript and the React library from the viewpoint of a horribly-outdated backend developer. You will come away with a basic understanding of component-based development with React that can be applied to many headless frameworks and upcoming composable architectures.
