Andy Tijn and Thomas Schuppel from Nokia will talk about mobile JS and browsers, performance and memory optimization and mobile web based UIs (Andy: Nice Shirt, by the way).

We cannot avoid it anymore: the web and mobile devices have become inseparable. The need for developing web sites and web applications for mobile devices is becoming stronger and stronger. But how do we use web technologies to build our cloud connected services on mobile phones? Do we really rely on strong logic on the server side, or can we start building full blown online and offline applications based on JavaScript, HTML and CSS only? We will discuss how we organize and develop one of the largest scalable JavaScript applications in the history of Nokia, at the same time offering a platform for tiny 3rd-party applications with major power.

andy_fb_sw.jpgAndy's Bio:
Andy pioneered JavaScript as a language to develop mobile applications in Nokias Social Location Team. There his second job is being one of the few real Berlin guys. Before joining Nokia, he was managing a ui-oriented internet agency in Amsterdam, also developing server-side and client-side web applications and web sites. Together with Thomas he's now heading the development of the Ovi SDK and evangelizing agile development to manage the exploding number of people doing JavaScript in Nokia.

Thomas pioneered JavaScript as a language to develop mobile applications in Nokias Social Location Team. There his second job is being one of the few real Berlin guys. Being a specialist in graphics programming, he swinged between doing award winning public installations and mobile games and applications in the past. Together with Andy he's now heading the development of the Ovi SDK and evangelizing agile development to manage the exploding number of people doing JavaScript in Nokia.

We try to make JSConf.eu as much of a community event as a technology event. As we announced earlier there is going to be a big party on Saturday night. Besides this main event we'll have two more chances to meetup and enjoy berlin at night.

dojo.beer.jpgOn Friday there is going to be a pre-conference meetup at Bier Kombinat Kreuzberg. (There is a link to the place's website on the Google Map. Seriously, don't click on it :) The meetup starts at 20:30 (8:30 pm). We (as in the organizers) are trying to be there as well depending on the progress on getting things fixed up for the conference.


party.jpgOn Sunday we'll have a post conference party right at the JSConf.eu venue sponsored by SinnerSchrader (The company that employs two of the organizers and that did all the pre-financing for the conference). We'll have music, fancy visuals and, of course, beer :)

Hope to see all of you there!

robert-nyman_sw.jpgBack to basics with Robert Nyman's talk about JavaScript - Form Birth to Closure.

This presentation will give you a brief background to JavaScript, what it is and where it comes from. Then it will walk you through general pitfalls, best practices and more advanced topics such as object-orientation, scope and closures.

Robert has been working with web developing, mostly interface coding, since 1998. His biggest interests lie in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, where especially JavaScript has been a love for quite some time. He regularly blogs at robertnyman.com about web developing, and is running/partaking in a number of open source projects.
