These Are a Few of My Favorite Things.js - Chloe Condon

audio español https://youtu.be/tP7JNFVoEQU As developers, we often have a love/hate relationship with programming languages. Sometimes, we want to throw our computer into the ocean after working on a bug for several hours, and other times we want to do a victory dance when our code runs on the first try. In this talk, I'll share some of my favorite silly/fun/quirky/unique JavaScript projects, and share why it's important to have fun and experiment while programming. You'll leave this talk with a new found love for JavaScript (and hopefully some new side project inspiration!).p

Mike Subelsky: Introduction to SproutCore

Apple made a huge splash with their rich Mike Subelsky, shows you the inner workings of SproutCore, the JavaScript library that is used to create MobileMe. Mike has used SproutCore as part of the company he co-founded, OtherInbox.com.

Chris Anderson and Jan Lehnardt: CouchDB to the Edge

Using CouchDB to create "edgy" web applications that are stored in the database. CouchApps allows you to store not only data in a database like CouchDB, but also full applications, which lends to some rather interesting use cases. Not only do applications then scale up and out, but their ability to revision control themselves comes for free. The CouchApps are pure JavaScript applications that sit on top of the power of CouchDB, and then allow the applications and data to become instantly portable and shareable through replication. This tag team presentation will give you some powerful insight into the concepts of CouchDB and CouchApps.

Seth Samuel: Arbitrary Computation on the GPU Using WebGL - JSConf Iceland 2016

WebGL is already widely in use for 3D graphics and image processing but could be used for much more. We'll learn how to pass arbitrary data to the GPU for parallel processing, how to get that processed data back into Javascript, and all the reasons this doesn't work even when it should.

Mihai Cîrlănaru: Speech Recognition on the Web - JSConf Iceland 2016

We've all been impressed by the likes of Siri, Google Now, and Cortana, for understanding our spoken words, but is it possible to take advantage of the powerful speech recognition behind such services on the web? This talk will explore the Web Speech API and how it can empower web apps for improved accessibility and new ways of user interaction.

Nick Doiron: If One Laptop per Child were started today, how JavaScript-y would it be?

In 2005, it looked like the future of global education might be a custom laptop and OS for $100. Today you could use that money to buy two Android tablets and access eBooks, courses, and programming tutorials on the web. An OLPC hacker reflects on teaching computing in Uganda, Uruguay, and our new JavaScript world.

Heiko Behrens: JavaScript on tiny, wearable hardware - JSConf Iceland 2016

The Apple Macintosh was released 32 years ago and had 128KB of RAM. We managed to let you drawing to the screen using Canvas APIs, using npm packages, and much more by writing fully ECMAScript 5.1 compliant code with half of that memory. In this talk, I’d like to present our learnings from porting the JerryScript engine to the Pebble smartwatch to empower JS lovers to develop for wearable consumer electronics. From engine internals over embedded hacks to JavaScript inception where we cross-compile the JS engine itself to JS using Emscripten to produce JS bytecode inside any JS environment: Expect some craziness.
