Still carbon neutral

At dotJS 2018, we announced that all our future events would be carbon neutral, thanks to our new parent company Welcome to the Jungle!

It means that we are doing everything we can to lower our footprint on the environment and we'll buy carbon offsets to compensate what's left (mostly attendee travel).

We want to make everyone feel great about coming to dotConferences, and hopefully inspire others to do the same!

Hakim El Hattab

What breaking interfaces taught me about building better interfaces
Hakim tries to give people tools for finding unexpected ways to improve UI elements. He talks about how reinventing the wheel is a great way to learn and improve as a front-end developer. The talk covers three specific UI improvements that he’s deep-dived into, complete with hands-on examples of how to implement them.

Go’s constants are powerful. Dave explains that if you’re only thinking of them as immutable numbers, you’re missing out.

Charlie Gerard

Exploring the hidden potential of sound data
Even though we don’t really think about it, sound is a very rich source of information. Leveraging the properties of sound with machine learning, we can gain insights about an environment or an activity performed. Acoustic activity recognition has the potential to create new interactions and better smart systems, and in this talk, Charlie explores how to experiment with this technology in JavaScript, using the Web audio API and Tensorflow.js.

Soroush Khanlou

From Problem to Solution
Soroush discusses abstraction — what it is, and what it isn’t. He steps through the process of taking code that went from good to bad, and find ways to make it good again. How do we build an abstraction from code that isn’t abstract? What qualities are we looking for in our abstractions?
