Géry Debongnie
Developer at Odoo

Gery Debongnie is an accomplished software developer with extensive expertise in JavaScript. He has played a pivotal role in Odoo codebase, starting even before it was called Odoo. Géry is not only known for his contributions to projects like the Owl UI framework, the Odoo web client, and the Odoo spreadsheet application but also for his leadership as the head of the JavaScript framework team.


Odoo built its own javascript framework, Owl, inspired by modern technologies. It is now the 

standard way in Odoo to code a javascript interface. In this talk, I will build a project from scratch, and use that as an opportunity to explain all 

the most important ideas from Owl, such as component, hooks, reactivity and much more. This is a talk for developers, but no prior knowledge of Owl is required!
