Schedule: HTML5 and Browser Technologies sessions

Learn one of the hottest front-end frameworks and incorporate it into your work tomorrow. Follow along and learn how to build a Bootstrap-based website from scratch, incorporating the responsive grid system, see the basic CSS in action, incorporate Javascript-based components, and customize CSS using LESS. Read more.

With iOS 6, Chrome, and IE10 we can now push the limits of JavaScript and HTML5 APIs. Lots of APIs are out there. However, not everything is similar to desktop: performance, background code and storage needs a review. This session will give you an overview of what you need to know, including labs testing on your own phone on progressive enhancement, feature detection and HTML5 APIs. Read more.

From the ground up introduction to the field of web performance optimization: network bottlenecks, the document parsing and evaluation pipeline, visual layout, javascript, and more. We'll investigate each in order and then pull it all together through case studies and hands-on examples. Read more.

Learn how to build a fully working webapp from scratch, from building models, views, controllers, through writing tests, all the way to automating the drudgery. Read more.

Since the dawn of Ajax, web apps have been moving more and more to the client in the interest of improving speed and delivering a more responsive user experience. With the same goals in mind, we've gone a different direction, rebuilding twitter.com on the principle of Progressive Enhancement, specifically using server-side rendering with support for pushState layered on top. Read more.

A year ago I stood up at Fluent and gave a somewhat idealistic talk called "Eight Simple Rules for Running Your JavaScript on My Page." Since then I've had the opportunity to build and deploy Pinterest's new JavaScript widgets, which are all made by a single script tag. This year I'd like to come back, break open the source code, talk about how and when I had to break my own rules. Read more.

This talk will present the work we have done creating a web appropriate and HTML5/JavaScript programmer friendly parallel programming model and implementation. With this as a base the talk will look at exciting applications built using Parallel JavaScript including physics simulations, some augmented reality, and computer vision enabled games. Read more.

HTML5 has emerged as an open Rich Internet Application platform to rival Adobe Flash. HTML5 combined with WebGL can go even further, providing the most compelling user experiences imaginable. This session with Web3D pioneer and 3D expert Tony Parisi will cover HTML5 and WebGL development topics including rendering, animation, 2D/3D integration, multi-threaded programming and the tools pipeline. Read more.

Browser versions are now just meaningless & arbitrary marketing labels. We've all been fed a lie that web sites/apps should look/act identical in all browsers. That lie is holding our industry back. It's time we embrace standards and feature-testing and graceful degradation. Push back on bosses & clients and show them how the web really works. Read more.

Crawlers and scrapers have been around for ages. However, being able to write them easily in JavaScript has been a significant advance in recent years because there is now little that a browser can do and a scraper can't. Brace yourselves for the next chapter in the struggle between scrapers and data protecters! Read more.

Learn how to make a browser-based animated music video using CSS3 animations, HTML5 audio, and less JavaScript than you'd think! Load assets, loop music, and fire events using JavaScript. Animate images and backgrounds with CSS3. This talk is an excellent introduction to CSS3’s shiniest features and the ins and outs HTML5’s audio API. Read more.

Superconductor is a new browser language for building interactive visualizations of big data sets of up to one million nodes. It achieves this by automatically synthesizing parallel WebCL and WebGL code that runs on a GPU. This talk will discuss the future of data visualization, low-level parallel JavaScript extensions, and building an efficient yet usable framework that combines them. Read more.

With HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, you can create web applications that work on all mobile devices. Modern browsers are capable of running your web apps. No need to learn OS specific programming languages. In this session we discuss some of the native HTML5 related JavaScript API that make your browser the most powerful piece of software on your device. Read more.

Don’t rely on input sanitization alone to protect you from XSS vulnerabilities. Content-Security Policy is a new browser feature that helps lock down your application to scripts that only you trust, preventing execution of malicious code. In this talk, learn about unconventional XSS attacks, how CSP prevents them, and how to implement CSP in your application. Read more.

Building your apps for Chrome is the most reliable way to build high-speed, cross-platform desktop apps. ChromeApps, when combined with AngularJS and Nodejs, is the ultimate development stack. ATTENTION: Be warned that things will get crazy in this presentation. We will have security staff present to ensure the safety of the audience. Read more.

Chrome Packaged Apps V2 allow you to write truly native applications using just HTML, JavaScript and CSS. The Chrome runtime gives you access to the file system, built-in identity API's, serial communication and so much more. What's better is that you can write truly cross platform apps (Chrome OS, Windows, OS X, Ubuntu...) and deploy with one single package. One code base with unlimited reach. Read more.

Hackers Jeff Burtoft and Jesse Cravens, co-authors of O'Reilly 'HTML5 Hacks', approach HTML5 and JavaScript technologies from vastly different vantage points. Watch the competitiveness mount, as these two innovative Hackers try to one-up each other through demonstrations of each of their most inspired hacks. Read more.

There are now approximately 1 billion frontend frameworks, libraries, and tools to choose from when building web applications. It's easy to get stuck in the mud while wading through resources to find what'll work best for you and your team. As a designer and frontend dev at GitHub, a lot of my job is making these decisions. Learn about the frontend arsenal of tools I use to get there faster. Read more.

Building a modern web app generally requires more than just platform primitives. You need productive tools, a package manager, intelligent compilers, rich libraries, sane semantics, modularity, polyfills for the latest and greatest features, and more. Learn how Dart brings it all together and gives you a consistent and coherent platform that runs across all modern browsers. Read more.

The declarative renaissance is upon us. Web Components (MDV, <template>, custom elements, ShadowDOM, mutation observers) are fundamentally going to change the way we build web apps. This session will introduce you to this brave new world of web programming and discuss how to use web components, today. Read more.

Firefox is one of the leading web browsers, and doing web development in Firefox is getting easier as the built-in developer tools grow. This talk will give a brief peek at what the tools offer, and dive into solving a problem with this unique set of tools. Read more.
