Presentations
React.js Workshop
React.js is a view library from Facecbook for building performant user-interfaces in JavaScript. In this session, we'll explore React.js and understand why it's a great step forward for building complex UI's that run fast. We'll code up an example web application using React.js and step through the basics of using the library while discussing concepts like the virtual DOM and components.
ES2015: Using tomorrow's JavaScript today!
You don't have to wait to use the next generation JavaScript language until all browsers support it - using transpilation you can start using it today and future proof your code and make it more elegant NOW! See the details for the topics covered.
Continuous Integration for Web & JavaScript Projects
This session covers the basics of setting up a Web & JavaScript project for Continuous Integration. The goal is to apply the same engineering practices as for projects coded in Java. Topics covered:
- Build tool for JS: Grunt
- Integrating JSHint
- Automated testing setup
- Other tools as part of a build process: Webpack, transpiliation
Migrating to ES2015 workshop, part I
In this fun 2 part workshop, we'll do a series of exercises to convert “old school” JavaScript code to ES2015, or ECMAScript 2015 code. ES2015 just got finalized, but you don't have to wait to use it. Using transpilation as part of your build process, you can quickly start using it TODAY. See the details below to get a flavour for what we'll be hacking in this fast-paced workshop.

Fun for all ages: Modding & Hacking Minecraft with ScriptCraft
Want to get your kids interested in programming? Maybe you're a kid at heart too? Come to this session and learn how to use ScriptCraft for Minecraft modding!
High Performance JavaScript Web Apps Architecture
In this session, we'll dig deep into the performance aspects of JavaScript and the Web Browser. Single page web applications are becoming popular very quickly, and understanding the low-level and high-level aspects of the browser platform and JavaScript runtimes embedding in them are important.
