    <div class="description"><span class="difficulty intermediate">intermediate</span>

      <p>GitHub, the largest source
        code host in the world, has over 70 employees spread all over the planet, and a rather unique workflow.
        Managing a distributed team of that size presented challenges that no other companies had faced before.
        That's why we did the only thing that made sense: we built a robot, in Javascript, running on Node, and we
        let it run our company.

        This is the story of Hubot, our intergalactic butler, who takes care of our whole application stack
        (including deploying code to production, which we do up to 20 times a day), manages our office, keeps track
        of all our employees and looks up pictures of pink ponies and cute dogs. All at the same time.

        We felt that Hubot was so awesome that every other company deserved having one, so we open-sourced it for
        everybody. If you're still not using Hubot, in this talk you'll learn how our robot from outer space can
        change the way your company works -- for the better.</p>

      <p>Nowadays developers are flooded with
        various libraries which are supposed to help and speed up the development process but often proove to be
        counterproductive. Same with design processes - designers are trapped with styles and hypes which they use
        without thinking. This talk is more inspirational, and it's aim is to show good practices within processes,
        emphasize the importance of decisions made within them and how they impact whole projects. It will also
        compare some frameworks and libraries available and point out which one of them are useful in which use

    <div class="description"><span class="difficulty beginner">beginner</span>

      <p>Tools like Express and NoSQL-databases
        have made it easy to write web applications using Node.js. But what if we don't need to serve HTML? What if we
        don't need to do templating, CSS and pretty animations? What if we only want to provide an HTTP-interface to our
        data?

        This talk will be about tips and tricks for building RESTful web services using Node.js. It'll discuss
        challenges,
        pitfalls and shortcuts. It will deal with authentication, declarative ways to describe your data structures and
        validation.

        If you're serious about building a backend able to serve any kind of application or provide a public API for
        your
        users, and doing it without pain, this is a talk for you.</p>

    Object Orientation Paradigm and TDD and his importance to get good code. In those days I fell in love with
    Javascript and tried to get to know all about it. Last 8 years I am dedicated to developing entirely in Javascript
    the last two of them working on Softonic.com
    I consider myself self-taught and follower of the open source community with which I collaborate as much as I can.

      <p>Building "fat client", API driven, client side applications is becoming the de facto way to build a web app.

        and older browsers? I will show you how Groupon is tackling this problem by building an abstraction on top of
        Backbone.js, Node, and Express to allow complete and seamless code sharing between Node and the browser. The

    <div class="description"><span class="difficulty intermediate">intermediate</span>

      <p>Our early attempts at doing client side rendering in tuenti.com brought us many performance problems, not only
        for the usual offenders (IE6 and IE7) but also for fast browsers like Chrome. We tried to solve most of those
        using a technology to render client side that ended up being faster on IE7 than Chrome, but still, things were
        not working. We had to scrape most of our homegrown framework and start from the beginning. We realized that the
        first thing we needed to do to use Javascript successfully in our thick client was to have a Javascript
        dependency management system. YUI came to our rescue. We also learned that in our case we would not be able to
        work only with client-side rendering, having server-side rendering was a must. That brings the problem of what
        template engine to use and whether to render server side with PHP or rather use Javascript and node so you can
        truly share templates between server and client. We will talk about the mistakes we made early on so you can
        learn from those, but also about technologies and methodologies that have (and have not) worked for us.</p>

    The thing that sets me apart from most JavaScript enthusiasts is that I base my contributions on need, as opposed to
    academic exploration. As a result my implementations tend to be less glamorous, but are more realistic
    representations of what you would see in real-world development.
    My most popular open-source contribution is Overscroll, a completely reverse-engineered iOS drift library. I have
    been maintaining it since 2009, and it has progressed through several major iterations.

      <p>During my session, I will demonstrate the implementation of a practical jQuery mobile application. To emphasize
        my focus on practicality, the application will actually be the framework I run my presentation on. The session
        will be broken up into three parts: Establishing the Requirements, Developing the Core Framework, and

    <div class="description"><span class="difficulty advanced">advanced</span>

      <p>First we will take some time to understand the GildedRose kata and point out a list of possible improvements.
        We will also try to sort the list depending on their priority for our goal.

        Then we will start working on them by covering the existing code with tests and applying the improvements
        iteratively, making the smallest possible change each time and checking that everything works on the way.

        We will finish the dojo by creating some unit tests (or specs) that will help us to detect and shape the core
        responsibilities of the components of the application. </p>
