JS Bin is 7 years old in 2015 and it's seen an unfair amount of abuse. This is the dark story of just some of that abuse, what was done, and the side effects.

CSP is a technique used in the core.async library of Clojure and in GO with the GO routines that handle the async and parallel processes.

Generators is a new ECMAScript 6 feature which enables you to implement this technique perfectly.

Last but not least, CSP will enable you creating a better objects encapsulation, facilitating composition over inheritance and improving the code quality.

The following topics will be (dis)covered:

• Publisher/Subscribe system
• Generators in ECMAScript 6
• Introduction to CSP
• How to use Channels for the communication
• Sequential and Parallel communication
• Transducer inside channels

You will learn how to implement an optimized, zero-conf, fault-tolerant, distributed scaling solution that plays extremely well with the microservices architecture.

In this presentation, you'll learn how to create good-looking, responsive websites in no time. And all that without writing a single line of CSS or JS. Well, maybe a few.

Find out more on Google's Material Design and Material Design Lite.

Learn how to evaluate performance and scalability on the server-side and the client-side with tools like Siege, Locust.io, Bees with Machine Guns, Google PageSpeed, WBench, and more. Take back an understanding of how to automate performance and load testing, and evaluate the impact it has on performance and your business.

In this talk Matt will revisit with you the look and behaviour of interface elements without the constraints of fashion. You'll create the perfect button. You'll put an end to 'ease-in' and its evil lethargy. By the end you'll emerge with an unreasonably strong opinion on what type of pen lid is the funnest.

You will discover how to generate one-time passwords and implement 2FA in your applications, and hear the only real-life compelling use case for QR codes. Together, we'll make the web a more secure place.

You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Those in the industry have been working hard to sweeten the deal again - efforts have been made to bring WebRTC into the mainstream and as a result the technology is experiencing a rebirth. Thanks to those who have remained dedicated to improving the situation for those around them, WebRTC is finally starting to fulfil the original expectations that were had of it. Both the technology and the support networks have been built up to make experimenting with it again a pleasure, not a pain.

WebRTC has grown up; in this talk you will learn how far along the tech has come, its current capabilities, the amazing things that people are starting to do with it, and how simple getting started with the new toolsets available.

Meet the Holiday Extras' tech team at The Hungry Geek.

This 30-minute talk will explore:

• Why the same common security flaws don't seem to ever go away.
• How security is really another aspect of quality, and developers should ultimately be responsible for both.
• What practices have been successful for the firms with mature software security initiatives.
• How developers (who are not security experts) can avoid common security flaws before a product ships.

Join hosts Mark Rendle and Dylan Beattie as we launch a brand new format, bringing together the best of technology, trivia and comedy. Coming to you LIVE and EXCLUSIVE from SkillsMatter's state-of-the-art CodeNode venue in London.

In this session, Addy will give you the latest update on your favourite companion; exploring new features in performance profiling, JavaScript debugging and animation inspection. You’ll walk out of the session with a huge advantage in productivity, speed, and precision when developing, debugging, and improving your web applications.

Simplicity is king. Always. Thus, the way to create good architecture needs to be found.

During the presentation, Imre will share with you how this system has been built up and how some existing frameworks failed to meet some requirements. As a result, the system had to create a project structure, a component/deployment model, from the ground up, which successfully allowed the system to be put into production. The experience gathered and the models built up could be useful for anyone who is building and looking to evolve far more complex apps than a REST backend for a mobile app.

Using jspm as your build tool, you will learn how to quickly and easily install libraries from npm and GitHub, and have them work out of the box in the browser. You will look at the developer workflow and how jspm also makes it trivial to bundle your application up in production.

You will leave this talk with a better sense of the latest tooling that makes working in ES6 much easier than many imagine, and with a greater understanding of some of the new features of the language.

Information on ECMAScript 6 can be found here, or take a look at Babel.

But now, new in browsers for 2015, is the Service Worker. Born out of the struggle to make the Appcache work for offline capable sites, it has also brought the advent of push notifications to the web. Through building up an example application live, you will learn how to implement the Service Worker to not only serve up an app when you're offline but enhance the online experience with push notifications.

The battle may continue, but the web is definitely pushing back.

This plagues enterprises big and small, and even sometimes the best software engineers can fall into the trap of "caveman coding". JavaScript in particular can give safe harbour to the "caveman coder".

With this talk you will discover how to identify this species of coder and what you can do to defend yourself against them.

Currently you can’t. Let Stephan share with you how to write confidence-inspiring modules with breaking change detection and fully automated, tested releases, including changelogs. Machines do a way better job with this than buggy humans.

Join Christos Matskas as he gives an introduction to TypeScript and shares with you how to leverage its powerful features to develop scalable, modular and powerful code.

Find out how – and why – the team created an interpreter to parse and execute user-submitted code in the browser, plus how they developed a browser-based game engine for the code to run against. Featured technologies include JavaScript, Blockly, Python, SVG animation.

Hoodie is a complete backend written in Node.js and CouchDB, with an in-browser frontend API that makes it a snap to pick up for anyone who’s at least versed in copy and pasting some jQuery code.

More advanced developers will find a rapid-productyping (i.e. your prototype can go into production) framework that abstracts away all the common things a web app needs (oh, and native frontends are possible too). It comes chock-full with best practices and killer features, like offline-first, and noBackend, and dreamcode.

Hoodie is of course true open source, not encumbered with venture capital and built by a diverse community with the world in mind.

Find out more on Hoodie here and here.

In this talk, a careful analysis is made of the many byzantine ways in which message-oriented systems can fail. A set of remedial approaches is presented, and an empirical report on there effectiveness will also be made. This talk will provide you with some practical tactics to keep their microservice architectures healthy and performant.

How would you control a specific device on the Internet of Things? Sending a message to its IP address or using its URI seems logical, but what if it isn't powerful enough to have one? What if it isn't connected directly to the Internet? And, what if you want to send a message to a group of devices?

Alex proposes using CSS selectors for choosing which devices you want to talk to. By using classes and IDs (amongst other things) it's possible to send a message to very specific sets of devices in a way that any Web developer can understand.

Fun facts related to being a JavaScript Frontend Developer. Humorous. Similar to classic WAT lightning talk by Gary Bernhardt from CodeMash 2012.

During this presentation Nenad will explore the challenges faced during the development of a game's framework.

The vibrant industry of gambling is characterized by regulators, certification authorities, and a never-ending chase for the feature that will grab the attention of the player. Slot games are a big part, or, rather, are the workhorses of the industry. With an average peak earning life of only a few months, the gambling market requires new and regular games in order to keep the interest of the players, putting additional pressure on game designers to invent new features and provide new and entertaining value. Every slot game is slightly different, but delivering new products in a timely manner can prove challenging.

This presentation will explore the challenges faced during this process, with a particular focus on architectural and design pattern solutions utilized in order to have a lean but still very generic game framework. This framework allows the developer to cover a wide range of unexpected new features and regulatory requirements, thus enabling the developer to respond quickly to any new requirements.

Hannes is passionate about teaching. At his university there is a department dedicated to web engineering, so he is lucky enough to teach something fancy and new every year, but the basics of computer science still need to be explored in the courses.

At Hannes' department they are deeply in love with new technologies and they try to be as progressive as possible. Node.js/io.js, Ruby on Rails, Continuous Delivery with docker, agile workflows and all the stuff you have never heard of during your computer science classes, are part of their identity. The department's goal is to teach people everything they need to become a full-stack developer someday.

This talk explores topics such as getting science and economics together, how they translate theoretical computer science topics into something useful for web developers, and how they manage to not be like any other academic institution.

On April 14th the final draft of the 6th edition of the ECMAScript specification (ECMAScript 2015 as it is now officially known) was released. The language is rapidly stabilising and the new features are slowly but surely making their way into the existing JavaScript engines. Unfortunately, it will still be a while before you will be able to write ES6 code and have it run natively in either browsers or Node and io.js. Thankfully TC39 (the group responsible for the development of the ECMAScript specification) put a lot of effort into ensuring backwards compatibility so it is possible to use a large and growing proportion of ES6 today.

This talk will explore some of the technologies and techniques that can be used to write, publish and deploy ES6 code today, without having to wait until the engines catch up.

You will discover source-to-source compilation, standard library polyfills, publishing modules written in ES6 to popular package managers and the consumption of those modules by existing ES5 and new ES6 code.

This presentation is an exploration of the more esoteric areas JavaScript can be used.

David Mark will be talking about creating a slide deck presentation system using Bespoke and NW.js, migrating from Keynote using Yosemite JavaScript automation and generating PDF's.

In true dogfooding form, the presentation will be using the slide deck presentation system that the talk is about. The talk will also have interactive elements (e.g. sharing slides to devices, automated slide changes, registering questions onto the presentation, possibly sharing David Mark's heartbeat inside the slides too!).

Much of the project isn't online as yet (but it will be released as OSS prior to talk). However as part of it David Mark created bespoke-to-pdf, and has been in talks with the author of Bespoke about integrating a follow up module (bespoke-pdf) into the core of Bespoke.

Technical aspects of this talk will include: an introduction to some boilerplate code, game programming patterns and the game loop, an intro to natural physics simulations in a 2d environment, and an intro to filter effects through canvas and WebGL shaders.

Lean Poker is this: you and a small group of strangers are going to develop a bot in a language of your choice, that plays poker against other bots. (Don't worry if you don't know poker, we will teach you.) All you need to do is write a function that takes a data structure containing cards and bets your bot sees during the game, and returns a single number: the amount you are willing to bet at that point.

Now here is the catch: even before you start coding the bots play a round in a matter of seconds, and if your bot wins you get points. If it comes second, you get less points. Otherwise you get nothing. The next minute another game plays, and another one, and another one… that goes on all day long, while you and your friends are desperately hacking away on the code, and keep deploying, deploying, and deploying. Don’t worry about the deployment pipeline, that’s already set up for you.

During this pretty intense day you will sometimes be cheering for your bot to take over, you will be deploying desperately to change the course of events when your bot keeps losing, but even more importantly you will learn how to create as much value as you can in a short period of time, while you are mostly just having fun.

Interfaces of enterprise systems used to be a thin layer, usually generated on the server side, with very little logic and tons of copy-paste code. The situation changed when RESTful APIs and SPA interfaces became popular - big amounts of application logic has been moved to the client, leaving the server taking care of data persistence, transactions and other backend-related issues. A new era in web app development has started.

Modern frontend is a great ocean of emerging tools that developers often don't know how to combine, or cause to co-operate effectively. Truly scalable interface architecture is quite a new topic, still being discussed, and as yet there is no ultimate stack of software that solves most business cases. And in big enterprise systems, each design mistake costs a lot and is very difficult to refactor.

What can you expect from certain architectural decisions? Which paths are worth following and which should be avoided? The good and bad parts of the growing JavaScript code.

It's interesting on a regular day, but when the hurricane comes and we fall back to the DR centre upstate, that's a wake-up call!

In this talk Steve will discuss the future of building real mobile applications using web technologies, and the alternate idea "Learn Once, Write Everywhere". You will hear about react-native, UX, Phonegap, Titanium, Trigger.io, and the future of mobile web applications.

The talk will cover:

• How BLE works, a summary of advertising packets, GAP/GATT and some of the ways device power consumption is reduced

• What is web-bluetooth, and why is it so cool?

• Developer-facing BLE work we are undertaking in the mbed team at ARM: APIs, Firmware over the air, Documentation efforts and smartphone apps

• Some interesting projects and collaborations ARM have around BLE

Just using these tools on their own can lead to unnecessary complexity that can be hard to understand or avoid. So let’s set aside discussions of the language syntax or capabilities and focus on what is important - delivering value to the customer.

This presentation will show how BDD practices can be applied to the different contexts of developing features through a multi-layer stack whilst smoothing the communication, providing detailed direction and showing the value for business owners and developers alike. The result is a feature that meets the business owner’s expectations with happy side effects such as the code being clean, well designed, understandable, fully tested and documented.
