With the mainstreaming of server-side JavaScript, the possibility of full-stack JavaScript development finally seems to be coming to fruition. Writing once, and running the same code everywhere seems like the obvious big win, along with the ease of writing complex server-side applications in a simple, flexible language like JavaScript. Actually, full-stack JS is awesome, but these aren't necessarily the reasons why. This talk will bust some of the myths about full-stack JS development, and take a realistic look at the real benefits of 'JS everywhere.'

HP webOS is a platform powering devices as diverse as the world's smallest smartphone, the HP Veer, to power dual-core HP TouchPad tablet. Underneath it all is WebKit, HTML, and JavaScript, powering both applications and system services. This talk will highlight our next-generation JS application framework, Enyo, and also look at how node.js is used to provide system services and background processing.

Way too many of today's presentations use JavaScript for needless bling. Use CSS for simple animations and present static content for browsers that do not support them. Let go of your need to control your user's experience pixel by pixel.

I will show a few demos of using CSS animations and how to provide similar non-animated options for browsers that do not support them.

When you first think of iframes, you probably think of embedded YouTube videos and web forms. But iframes can do a lot more than just embed third-party content. As an inline, sandboxed DOM environment, the iframe is a powerful tool for communicating across domains, loading resources asynchronously, securing content, and more. In this talk we'll explore a number of helpful ways to script iframes, both conventional and not. (Mostly not.)

Fresh off the May TC39 meeting, I will give an update on "ES.next", Harmony beyond that, how things are working and not working. It will be sweaty, bloody, and thrilling. No Ennio Morricone score, though.

Co-author of yepnope.js and developer of Send to Dropbox, I work for GroupCard out of Milwaukee as a front end Software Engineer. Micro frameworks are the new HTML5, and I'll show you how to squeeze as many bytes as possible out of your morbidly obese code so it makes the cut. I'll whet your palette by covering the basic transformations that JavaScript minfiers make, then bring on the main course with techniques for dealing with JavaScript reserved words and object properties. For dessert, I'll serve up a tasty knowledge bomb as to how the gzip algorithm works at a high level and how that affects minifying and gzipping your code. When you're done with this meal you'll be full! However, your code will be so lean and sexy that it will probably leave you, get drunk with ender.js and come home with a microjs.com tattoo in the morning. You've been warned.
