Enter the ever evolving world of peer to peer using Javascript. In this talk we will push the limits of what is possible today using BitTorrent, streaming, and Javascript. There will be demos and MAD SCIENCE.

The new HTTP 2.0 and QUIC protocols are coming! HTTP 1.1 forced both developers and browser vendors to invent different tricks in order to make sites to load and run faster. HTTP 2.0 and QUIC will provide many significant improvements overt HTTP 1.1. In this talk I will give an introduction to both protocols and emphasize why are they so important for the Web development workflow and performance.

With the web slowly maturing as a platform the demand for cryptography in the browser has risen, especially in a post-Snowden era. Many of us have heard about the upcoming Web Cryptography API but at the time of writing there seem to be no good introductions available. We will take a look at the proposed W3C spec and its current state of implementation, talk about the good parts and the pitfalls to avoid. I will share my vision of a simpler and safer NaCl-inspired API, and hopefully leave you excited about experimenting further with cryptography in the browser.

Scaling Node applications from prototyping stacks to production can be very difficult as there is a big lack of conventions and best practices that work across companies and even communities. In this talk Tim will be showcasing his favourite 4 modules of KrakenJS – a thin convention layer on top of Express – which helped PayPal pushing out Node apps. Learn some key findings that PayPal made when working on Node and how we structured the introduction of it into our existing infrastructure. Being more efficient, needing less people working on projects and being way more responsive than classical apps Node and Kraken have become PayPal’s favourite stack.

First I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without realtime interaction client-side. But then I spent so many nights thinking how XML did me wrong. And I grew strong, and JSON helped me get along And so you’re back with no name-space I just walked in to find no silos here ‘cause its all de-cen-tral-ized I shouldn’t used that custom format XMPP and JSON is the key If I’d known for just one second interoperability wouldn’t bother me.

You thought cross-browser design was tricky? What if you had to develop for ten or twenty years in the future, when we can no longer assume displays will be rectangular, flat or even completely unobstructed? Our screens are changing, and BBC R&D are anticipating and prototyping user experiences for technology that hasn’t even been invented yet. From wearable tech to electronic wallpaper, this is the ultimate evolution of responsive design. Find out how we’re using JavaScript to push it to its limits.

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 web as it appears today consists of apps, rather than hypertext. Recent additions to HTML5 APIs and the web application landscape raises the stakes for browser security: The attacker may now easily shift their target to active browsing sessions rather than the underlying operating system. This talk covers the browser security model as it currently stands in modern user agents. After discussing legacy as well as recently added features, it will also present some expected enhancements in the browser security landscape. Following this overview, common bypasses and shortcomings of these security mechanisms will be discussed.

JavaScript is the lingua franca of the web, yet it remains predominantly sequential and web applications until recently have been unable to utilize hardware parallelism. The goal of Parallel JavaScript is to change that. Parallel JavaScript provides web developers with a safe, high-level API that allows them to write applications that effectively utilize multi-core and SIMD parallelism as well as GPUs while preserving the programmability and portability of JavaScript. This talk will introduce the key design principles of Parallel JavaScript, the API itself and our experiences with implementing it. Finally I will show sample applications that highlight the leaps in performance that are possible. I will also briefly discuss the standardization efforts underway to make Parallel JavaScript part of ECMAScript 7.
