Do you have obscure Cobol error messages appear in your web frontends?

Do undocumented homegrown JavaScript frameworks strangle any attempt at progress in your codebase? Does the maze of JSF tags appear to be entirely indecipherable? No matter how old and rotten your legacy web frontend is, there is one way out: web standards! Boring old web stands have always been the least common denominator for any web technology, for ancient projects ruins as well as the latest high-tech frontend framework. Thus, every project is at least somewhat

salvageable: all you need is modern web standards, a bit of endurance… and this talk, which explains how the latest and greatest in browser technology can be leveraged to rescue even the oldest and most decrepit web projects!

This session not only details how and why modern web standards can be used to refactor legacy web projects, but also tells more than one real-life tale of legacy refactoring gone right (or hilariously wrong). No matter if your goal is to refactor an existing ancient web project or if you want to learn how to prevent getting stuck with a calcified legacy mess in the first place, this talk is for you!
