I built a library that helps you build UIs that render to pure SVG (no HTML, no CSS). It handles layout without relying on the browser's layout engine, implements its own shape picking system, events, provides a scrollable text-wrapping component, replaces the browser's input element with a new one, <strong><em>supports drag-and-drop</em></strong>, has a built-in dynamic layout editor, and is currently a React library

How do you leverage web technologies for visualizing speech? We'll cover a bit of the theory behind the Web Audio apis and libraries. Then we'll look at different ways we can visualize the vocal audio data. Finally, we'll explore more advanced techniques such as real time vocal analysis.

I had a requirement to show tens of thousands of rows of data for a client, the solution? Use immediate drawing mode canvas to create a virtual table of much data. <br><br> I'd like to talk about algorithm complexity (big O notation) issues encountered while dealing with large arrays and in general how it effects front end web performance. If there's time, we can even go over using the web component spec to create the project aka the new hotness.

At Carbon Five, we think reactive programming is a great way to build frontend GUI applications. We use ReactiveX, which has amazingly robust libraries across a variety of languages. We've found the concepts translate well across of a variety of client projects, platforms, and frameworks, so much so that it's almost our de facto standard way to build frontends. We also work on React projects that use Redux. Often the Redux code becomes a pain point that slows down the rest of the project. We've begun exploring using ReactiveX's javascript library, RxJS, as an alternative to Redux, and we'd like to share what we've learned. This talk will provide: 1. A general introduction to functional reactive programming. 2. An introduction to ReactiveX libraries 3. A broad comparison between ReactiveX and Redux

A few months ago I built a small web page, that supposed to be integrated into the existing mobile app within a webview. Even though that was only one page, it was a checkout page, so there were a lot of things going on there: a lot of API calls to verify the data, need to decrypt the params that were passed there, additionally would need to encrypt the response as well. First thought was - to build an server app that would return simple HTML/CSS and may have some vanila JS. But that looks too much for hosting one page, and I was really worry about scaling of it, we expected a huge peaks of load. And the final decision was to have AWS lambda render a page for us. So the talk would be about SSR of React app in cloud functions (particularly aws lambda).

“CSS isn’t a ‘real’ programming language,” we are often reminded — we don’t ‘program’ in CSS, we describe presentation. Algorithms and CSS, then, don’t exactly go hand-in-hand…or do they? Could CSS be a programming language?

Machine learning is everywhere, but how easy is it to get started? Could your small project benefit from some simple ML? In this talk, we will cover the very basics of artificial intelligence, as well as learn a Python-free approach to big data, basic algorithms, and how easy all of this is to implement in your average shopping cart with a single Node.js file.

What if the value of every good or service was formally recognized as a million-element heterogeneous vector instead of a single scalar ironically dubbed the “price?” In this blue sky talk, I propose a way to leverage augmented reality, machine learning, computer vision, and MMO game design to deliver a wholesale replacement for our current system of commerce.

In this talk you'll learn how to write flake-free and deterministic end-to-end and unit tests that run in a real browser with Cypress.io, a testing tool for the modern web.

I'd like to talk about JavaScripts large role in our studio's production process and how it's flexibility allows us to define our own rigidity. I'll also go into how we use C++, Swift, Java/Kotlin to extend JavaScripts abilities.

A Day in the life of a Node.js core contributor. This talk will candidly pull back the curtain on how things work within the Node.js core project, including how we get things done, how decisions are made, and insights into how to get involved.

When you go to a party, what is the most common thing about the music? It's repetitive! As engineers, what comes to mind when we see something repeating again and again? Automate the damn thing! \m/ Using simple String and Array functions we'll put together a miniature electronic dance track with the host of options available today right in the browser with the Web Audio API as well as on the terminal with Node.js! All you need is a little bit of JavaScript and a little bit of interest in music :)

I'd love to talk about what it's like to build an early stage product with an outsourced team, both the pros and cons. First with a team in China, then in the Ukraine with a CTO here, then solely with a team in the Ukraine + NYC. Learnings that can be applied to teams big and small, especially in the early stages of a product.

This talk is about the concept of "cross-platform rendering," where one set of view-layer primitives can be used as abstractions to render across different platforms' view-APIs. "Web? iOS & Android? TV!? All with one 'effin set of templates?" Youbetcha. This talk will focus on how React Native is used for cross-platform development, and cover some of the prominent technologies and challenges involved in making "Universal" React Native apps for web and mobile.

Despite solutions in many modern frameworks Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) still remains an elusive problem for web application security. While we have good and proven solutions it's not uncommon to still see these vulnerabilities in modern and legacy applications in use today. Typically this is due to the solutions not being utilized by the engineers, the application's framework not having support, or the engineers subverting the functionality to work around issues in the application. We'll take a deep dive into just how CSRF works followed by why the vulnerability class exists, and finally end demonstrating a solution that can be injected into any JavaScript frontend application to add support to existing applications.
