THAT WAS ROCK'N'ROLL - THANK YOU!
Thomas Fuchs is the creator of script.aculo.us.
You serve up your code gzipped. Your caches are properly configured. Your data (and scripts) are loaded on-demand. That's awesome—so don't stop there. Runtime is another source of slowdowns, and you can learn to conquer those, too.
Learn how to profile & benchmark your code to isolate performance issues, and what to do when you find them. The techniques you'll learn range from the normal (clean up after yourself) to the extreme (unrolling loops).
This talk will be a comprehensive look at what you need to know to properly test your JavaScript code. Numerous testing frameworks will be discussed and examined together with an encompassing analysis of the general families of testing techniques. If you haven't tested your JavaScript code before - or if you're looking for a better way to test your existing code - this is the talk for you.
John Resig, the creator of jQuery and JavaScript Evangelist at Mozilla will speak about whatever he is up to in November.
We expect nothing less but Guitar Hero for JavaScript 2.0.
Amy Hoy is an independent interface designer & developer.
Browser engines have never been better, faster, or more compatible; unbelievable things can be done with canvas, SVG, and even CSS. And yet… all we tend to see (and build) on the web is more of the same.
Learn how to shake off the pallor of the mundane and give your interactive apps the Hard Refresh. Examples, practicalities, food for thought, and a challenge to go out and dream up—and build—the incredible.
Ajaxian Founders, Google and Mozilla Alumnis and now Palm WebOS gurus Dion Almaer and Ben Galbraith will present on The Future of Web Applications.
The Ajax revolution saw a sea change in web application development. By taking advantage of long-dormant browser capabilities, we were able to take our craft to new levels—reinventing well-established genres, challenging desktop applications, and jump-starting a renaissance in web start-ups.
So what happens when we have new browser features to exploit? This session explores some of the latest shiny toys we can play with—potentially disruptive technologies that just might upset the status quo once again.
