Building a Modern Memex

The Memex was proposed in 1945 as the ultimate organizational tool. The desk-sized device would store a user’s personal library and allow for information to be searched, organized, connected together with hyperlinks, and shared.

Without a device like this, its creator suggested, our species would drown in information overload and come to …

Confident Frontend with Elm

Jack Franklin

In this talk, we'll explore Elm, the programming language that brings an entirely new approach to front-end development.

Exploring the world of decentralized networks with WebRTC

Nikita Baksalyar

We read news about horrible data leaks almost every day, but we continue to trust our data to the "cloud" - that's really should be thought of as someone else's computer which is suspectible to the three-letter agencies. What can we do about it? We can return the Web to its roots: a fully decentralized system that belongs to ev…

Functional programming and curry cooking in JS

Stefanie Schirmer

Are you interested in learning about functional programming? Are you reaching the limits of abstraction when programming in JavaScript? Do you sometimes find yourself lost in a forest callbacks? In this talk we explore functional programming concepts, which help us create powerful abstractions to master complex problems and create more simple and …

Most of the conventional web security wisdom revolves around the server, and often leaves the client out of the equation. Outside of "escape user input" a lot of developers don't know where to start with protecting their client-side applications. Unfortunately for everyone, there's a huge attack surface on the client-side, and it can sometimes feel…

Master the Art of the AST (and Take Control of Your JS)

Yonatan Mevorach

Think about the new tools that are taking over the Javascript ecosystem: Babel, Typescript, Rollup, ESLint, and smarter IDEs. What do they all have in common: they all take Javascript source code as input, and some emit Javascript code as output. This talk will be a deep dive into the basic building block all these tools share: Transforming your…

Native JavaScript modules- import {Browsers, NodeJs}; export {production};

All the modern browsers support native JavaScript modules, and it’s a perfect time to start using them, which will change the way we are bundling the JavaScript, and how the code is executed. We will understand the native modules features, performance details and lazy loading JS modules techniques.

Natural physics simulations and canvas hackery

Matt Keas

Much of the attention these days in the client and serverside JS stack surrounds the use of various frameworks, tools, testing, performance, and the connected, streaming, reactive world of the web. This talk is not about those topics above. Instead, this talk strips away all but the bare components and the raw curiosity one has for canvas drawings,…

Picking the Right Tool for the Job: HTML5 vs Unity

Jesse Freeman

Game developers have lots of options when it comes to picking platforms and frameworks to build their games with. If you are looking to build true cross platform games there are two great options, HTML5 and Unity, but choosing which one to start with can be difficult. In this talk we will discuss the pros and cons of each platform by looking at the…

Procedural content generation allows us programmers to have a degree of artistic expression that most of us rarely get during our day jobs. You can create infinite worlds, songs that never end the same way, or twitter bots which produce the next Hunger Games book. I’ll provide an overview of the techniques used for procedural content generation, an…

Progressive Web Apps and the Internet of Things

Luis Montes

The gap of what the web can do versus what must be done in a native application is really small these days.

I'd like to show that progressive web apps (offline support, push notifications, manifest, etc) are just the beginning. We can leverage newer hardware and networking APIs to build all sorts of Internet of Things types of applicat…

Reactive Reality

Building User Interfaces is hard. Building them in 3D worlds (virtual reality) is harder. Building them mixing 2D and 3D elements in a web browser is literally a technology frontier project. Doing it maintaining the API and developer friendliness of ReactJS... is what I'll show!

Sarah Drasner

SVG can do THAT?!

SVGs, with their potential for high-quality and performant graphics, have myriad uses on the web. By now, a lot of developers are aware of their practical uses, such as small and accessible icons, or illustrations. In this session, though, Sarah will go beyond typical use cases. She’ll cover a few practical things like styling SVG icons like typ…

See the data flowing through your app

André Staltz

What if instead of building your own mental model of how data flows through your application, you could actually see the data flowing in real-time? In this talk we will explore functional and reactive streams as a building block in JavaScript applications, with tools like RxJS, Cycle.js, xstream, which enable DevTools from the future.

Standardizing JavaScript Decorators in TC39

JavaScript decorators were created in 2014 as a collaboration among the JavaScript ecosystem, and you've been able to use them in TypeScript and Babel. But they didn't make it into the JavaScript standard yet: not ES6, or any of the later versions, so far. We're working on standardizing decorators in TC39, the JavaScript standards committee, but…
