Programming has (or should have) a special relationship with perfection. This talk is about using programming languages more effectively, and using that experience to create and select better programming languages. There are bad practices in software development that are so old and well established that it is difficult to recognize the problems they cause. There will be a review of the new good parts in ES6.

About the speaker...
Douglas CrockfordDouglas Crockford is the creator of JSON and works at Paypal. Douglas was born in the wilds of Minnesota, but left when he was only six months old because it was just too damn cold. He turned his back on a promising career in television when he discovered computers. He has worked in learning systems, small business systems, office automation, games, interactive music, multimedia, location-based entertainment, social systems, and programming languages. He is the inventor of Tilton, the ugliest programming language that was not specifically designed to be an ugly programming language. He is best known for having discovered that there are good parts in JavaScript. This was an important and unexpected discovery. He discovered the JSON Data Interchange Format. He is currently working on making the web a secure and reliable software delivery platform and has been developing various JavaScript related tools such as JSLint and JSMin. |

Over the last years node.js has evolved to be a great language to build web applications. The reason for this is not only that it is based on JavaScript, which already is established around "the web" but also that it provides excellent facilities for extensions, via JavaScript as well as through integration of native C libraries. Couchbase makes a lot of use of this fact making the Couchbase node.js SDK Couchnode a wrapper around the C library, providing a node.js like API, but leveraging the power of a native C library underneath. So how is this done? What does such a package look like, and how do you go about writing one? This talk walks through creating C extensions for node by example, with live coding goodness.

JavaScript, data-binding, reactive-programming, frameworks, angularjs We have a single page application. It means that we have data models and we have to react to changes in these models. We also need to propagate data through the different parts of the application and to update views when data changes. There are quite a few frameworks that allow this on a basic level, but as the complexity of the application grows, the controller code becomes bloated with callbacks and glue code transferring data between models. With Milo framework it takes just a few lines of code to create a reactive data graph capable of propagating, transforming and validating data between models and views of any depth. In this talk we will explain the concepts and building blocks that make it possible, such as observable models, "DOM as data" and two-way data connectors. We will also build a simple TODO app and show how data-graph can be used in large-scale application architecture.

James HallidayI write a lot of javascript packages. I enjoy tiny abstractions that do one thing well and compose well with other tools, in the spirit of UNIX. I have been researching peer to peer systems for offline collaborative workflows for several years. |
Imagine a world where your build tools like Grunt and Gulp were actually smart; where they took care of getting your code built for production without you writing configuration files. Whether you’re starting a new project, or expanding an existing codebase, build tool configuration files (like Gruntfiles) become yet another item to maintain. It doesn’t have to be this way. In this talk, I’ll discuss how to make Grunt adapt to our app's needs and generate its own configuration file. We'll take the gruntwork out of using Grunt and apply the same techniques to Gulp. After an introduction to Grunt and Esprima, I’ll focus in on the techniques used to automatically compile your preprocessors, generate your JavaScript bundles, and download your vendor libraries like jQuery and Backbone. |
Starting something new can be quite intimidating. I spend my days writing JavaScript and I think robots are cool, but could I actually build one? That's where I was a few months ago. Here's a window into overcoming the daunting starting point, extending your skills and building a JavaScript powered machine!

About the speaker...
Dominic TarrI am a travelling hacker. Due to growing up in the antipodes I understand to true pain of latency. This has lead to my interest in data replication - instead of requesting and waiting, you eagerly get a copy of the data beforehand - much less waiting, and it works better with network partitions. I have been doing node.js since version 0.2.1, and written over 300 npm modules. |
As creatives we constantly search for ways to optimize and streamline workflows. Currently we're being bombarded with more tools than ever. But how do we know that we reached a tipping point, when the apparatus we pick introduces more complexity and wastes way more time that it was supposed to save? As craftsmen, how do we maintain simplicity and learn to rely on bare-bones solutions? We'll have a look at up-to-date front-end tooling and analyze alternative approaches to compiling, building and automation processes. Buckle up, we're going command line.

With a focus on mono-linguistic architecture and beyond, this presentation demonstrates how we can maximise the potential of full stack development by not just unifying the server-client language or reusing code between front and back, but by sharing paradigms. The talk discusses which paradigms best fit both Node and the UI (spoiler: its CommonJS modules and streams), and works through increasingly sophisticated examples, presenting a simple and compelling approach to full stack JavaScript.

ASTs are an incredibly powerful tool for understanding and manipulating JavaScript. We'll explore this topic by looking at examples from ESLint, a pluggable static analysis tool, and Browserify, a client-side module bundler. Through these examples we'll see how ASTs can be great for analyzing and even for modifying your JavaScript. This talk should be interesting to anyone that regularly builds apps in JavaScript either on the client-side or on the server-side.

The most important gain of JavaScript on the server is not sharing code but rather how does having a lingua franca throughout the organization change team dynamics, team structure, hiring, etc. This does not obviate specialization but instead changes what the specialization is, moving from the separation of front-end/back-end to a separation of application/platform which ties nicely into a move towards service orientated architectures. In this talk I will ask, how does this change the roles on the teams and what developers need to be able to do?

Over the last few years the amount of JavaScript libraries on GitHub alone that claim to support Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) has risen significantly. But there is a difference between wrapping functions in a basic way and the complexity that has to be handled by true aspect-oriented function-composition approaches. In this talk Peter will distinguish between the almost straightforward Method Modification and real AO Systems. This session will also introduce how we can adapt the principles of AOP to JavaScripts dynamic and functional nature. With live coding this session aims to give developers what they are really looking for.

About the speaker...
Clifton CunninghamClifton is the CTO at TES Global, a 100 year old educational publisher that is busy transforming itself into the largest online social network for teachers, providing tools and services that empower teachers to be better teachers across the globe. [TES Global][1] (formerly TSL Education), is an educational publisher and service provider built out of what was the Times Educational Supplement (TES), the Times Higher Education (THE) and World University Rankings. The company was split off from News International in the early 2000's, and has since grown into the largest single online professional network on the planet with almost 6M teachers. Our digital product is a typical mix of content and applications, which provide news, teaching jobs, teaching resources, teacher training, classroom products and forums, and like most publishers we are heavily reliant on SEO to drive new customer acquisition. Clifton joined TES Global as CTO in May this year, with the fantastic challenge ahead of launching a new generation of products that support teachers across the planet and turning an educational publisher into an edtech business. To support this we have embarked on a journey of ripping apart the existing monolithic .NET application that powers the entire suite of products and rebuilding the lot using microservices. [1]: http://www.tes.co.uk/ He was previously the CTO at the MailOnline, one of the worlds largest online news sites, and helped to transform the entire technology platform, and culture, from a legacy monolithic java stack surrounded by fear into a fast moving micro service based platform built on top of NodeJS and Clojure and built on the foundations of programmer anarchy and freedom from fear. Clifton still writes code, starting his journey with NodeJS by writing an open source CMS called Calipso a few years ago, as well as contributing to projects internally at TES whenever he gets the opportunity. At TES Global he is transforming the technology platform from a legacy monolithic .NET platform into another one based on micro services across a range of technologies, and is cooking up some novel micro service composition approaches that we will open source soon. |
This talk is about a library that manages sounds the "angular" way. I have been interested in web audio for some time, and Angular.js as well, so I decided to make a library that manages sounds the "angular" way. Using Angular.js, we've simplified audio's complicated play(), pause() and current time properties to a getter / setter interface. In a way this is a prollyfill, an interpretation of how audio on the web should be.

Games in the 80s and 90s redefined the relationship between a user and a computer. Realtime, offline-first networking, fluid graphics, and physics-based animations posed incredible development challenges. Overcoming these challenges introduced a whole class of elegant techniques for immersive user experiences - that most JavaScript developers have never heard of! My talk will show that normal JS apps will soon rely on game programming techniques every day. You’ll be amazed at how many libraries you’re using are already based on basic game-loop architecture. Finally, you’ll leave ready to push your own apps forward with a little bit of gaming magic. |

The event-oriented code we write for node, and for modern front-end frameworks works really well for dealing with slow, unpredictable things like users and networks. If you’re building a real-world device, you have to deal with the same slow and unpredictable inputs, but there are new constraints, like device cost and battery life. Sometimes Node and javascript just don't fit.

With many frameworks available for JavaScript application development, it is often challenging to determine the right architecture for your application. Do you use an existing framework, do you create your own, or do you wait for something better? This talk will start with some definitions around what makes for a solid JavaScript software architecture, help determine what you might want from a framework, how to predict problems you might encounter with a framework, and highlight some of the things we consider at SitePen when working on application architecture for large-scale JavaScript projects. We'll conclude by looking at things you should expect from architecture going forward.

Tired of console.logging your way through applications? Want a way to slice through your application without adding complexity? AOP has been the answer to these questions for object oriented languages, such as Java and C#, but is not available in Javascript. ScarletJS(https://github.com/scarletjs/scarlet) is a project that tackles AOP using a clean, fluent, performant interface. The ScarletJS project provides Javascript developers a different way of thinking about traditional javascript problems. The project is still growing and looking into the future of what ES6 proxies will open up to the Javascript community. The talk will highlight the problems that javascript developers face with logging application behavior, security, and more. It will discuss the benefits of identifying a cross cutting concern, and programming using aspects. The talk will highlight how thinking about a project and cross cutting concerns can lead to cleaner more SOLID code. It will also discuss the future of ES6 proxies and the benefits that they will bring.
