Unscheduled

• @font-face - Good vs Legal

  by Jake Archibald

  Although fonts are a design asset, this talk will be deeply technical. We'll look at the structure of a font file and how you can get rid of bits you may not need without damaging rendering on certain platforms.

  We'll investigate common pitfalls in performance made by almost, if not all, font delivery networks.

• One Web

  by Jeremy Keith

  The range of devices accessing the web is increasing. We are faced with a choice in how we deal with this diversity. We can either fracture the web by designing a multitude of device-specific silos, or we can embrace the flexibility of the web and create experiences that can adapt to any device or browser.

• Using NoSQL with Yo' SQL

  by Rich Thornett

  MongoDB is a popular NoSQL alternative to relational databases. But you don't have to choose between the two - MongoDB can be a powerful complement to your existing relational database application. We'll look at areas where MongoDB shines in web applications: logging, analytics, activity streams, caching and others.
