Bringing Back the 1990s: The Revenge of JavaScript Style Sheets

Steve Kinney

JavaScript Style Sheets (JSSS) was a technology introduced by Netscape in 1996. Chances are, you’ve never heard of JSSS, since it was available in Netscape Communicator 4.0. They allowed you to define custom styling rules for your web pages. You’re probably more familiar with its competitor at the time—Cascading Style Sheets. JavaScript Style Sh…

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…

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…

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,…

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.
