• End-to-End JavaScript

  by Joe McCann

  The programming language that was once only associated with “script kiddies” and annoying popups on websites is now a first-class citizen amongst other languages. JavaScript is no longer simply used for DOM scripting or even Ajax-ified web applications, like Google Maps, but it is being used in far more innovative and productive ways.

  Joe’s presentation will walk us through the current state of JavaScript programming and the various endpoints for the language: From the standard desktop web client (the web browser) to the server, mobile applications, desktop applications, and beyond. His talk will showcase the true capabilities of the language as an end-to-end solution for business and personal usage.

• Deploying native apps built on JavaScript

  by Jesse Streb

  As we all know, HTML5 is blurring the distinction between native apps and web apps. Aiding this evolution is an explosion of frameworks and toolsets to help to build these cross-platform, next generation applications. In this presentation, Jesse will describe the current landscape of both UI frameworks: Sencha Touch, jQuery Mobile, jQTouch, jo, zepto, and native containers PhoneGap, Appcelerator, and Brightcove App Cloud.
  Jesse’s presentation will then dive deep into building a very minimal app on top of both PhoneGap and Brightcove App Cloud.
