HTML5 and Browser Technologies, The Leading Edge
Preventing XSS with Content-Security Policy
Ben Vinegar (Sentry)
Don’t rely on input sanitization alone to protect you from XSS vulnerabilities. Content-Security Policy is a new browser feature that helps lock down your application to scripts that only you trust, preventing execution of malicious code. In this talk, learn about unconventional XSS attacks, how CSP prevents them, and how to implement CSP in your application.
11:20am-11:40am (20m)
Doing Business on the Web Platform, The Leading Edge
Coding Towards Diversity
Kane Baccigalupi (gSchool, Galvanize)
The problem of getting women and minorities into the tech industry is daunting, and guilt inducing. If we were to examine it as a programming construct, it would be an infinite and unproductive loop. Tech organizations typically break this loop manually, leaving the best of intentions by the wayside. This talk will take an agile approach to refactoring the problem into algorithms for change.
11:50am-12:30pm (40m)
HTML5 and Browser Technologies
Break Out Of The Browser With HTML5
Burke Holland (Microsoft)
Chrome Packaged Apps V2 allow you to write truly native applications using just HTML, JavaScript and CSS. The Chrome runtime gives you access to the file system, built-in identity API's, serial communication and so much more. What's better is that you can write truly cross platform apps (Chrome OS, Windows, OS X, Ubuntu...) and deploy with one single package. One code base with unlimited reach.
1:45pm-2:25pm (40m)
Front End Frameworks and Libraries, HTML5 and Browser Technologies, The Leading Edge, Tools, Platforms, and APIs
How To: Make Fast Design-Decisions as a Developer
Julie Horvath (GitHub, Inc.)
There are now approximately 1 billion frontend frameworks, libraries, and tools to choose from when building web applications. It's easy to get stuck in the mud while wading through resources to find what'll work best for you and your team.
As a designer and frontend dev at GitHub, a lot of my job is making these decisions. Learn about the frontend arsenal of tools I use to get there faster.
2:35pm-3:15pm (40m)
The Leading Edge
A Practical Introduction to WebRTC
Anant Narayanan (Firebase)
In this session, we'll be diving deep into the various JavaScript APIs

possible. We'll also go through the process of building a real WebRTC
powered web app and discuss some ways in which these apps can be
deployed in the real world.
4:15pm-4:55pm (40m)
The Leading Edge
Gearing Up for Google Glass Development
Maximiliano Firtman (ITMaster Professional Training)
Glass raises many technical questions. Are Glass apps native apps or web apps? Is Glass an augmented reality device? How can websites and apps integrate with Google Glass? How can we emulate how content is served? Is Glassware just a website or an app with a transparent background?
11:00am-11:40am (40m)

The Server Side
Go Node Without Code
Brian Rinaldi (Progress)
You're already well aware of what Node offers for server-side JavaScript development. What you may not know is that there are many command line tools built on Node that can be incredibly useful to developers, even those with no interest in doing server-side JS.
In this session, we'll review some Node-based tools, showing how to install them, use them and fit them in your development workflow.
1:45pm-2:25pm (40m)

4:15pm-4:55pm (40m)
Pure Code and JavaScript
CoffeeScript for the JavaScript Developer

HTML5 and Browser Technologies
CSS3/JS Selectors: When Your HTML5 Has No Class
Estelle Weyl (Instart Logic)
Pick an element, any element. Style it. Manipulate it. No IDs. No classes. No jQuery necessary. We'll learn all the new features of selectors in CSS and JavaScript that enable you to select this DOM node, that DOM node, and even an imaginary DOM node based on attributes, relation to other elements, location in the DOM, or just an element's....
11:50am-12:30pm (40m)
Tools, Platforms, and APIs
Build Web and Mobile Apps Faster
Steven Sanderson (Microsoft)
Who needs a web server these days? Cloud-based backends are transforming how many kinds of web and mobile apps are architected, radically reducing the amount of code and time needed to get your app to v1.0. This session explores the pros and cons of Windows Azure Mobile Services, so you can decide if a cloud backend is right for your next project.

2:35pm-3:15pm (40m)
Pure Code and JavaScript
More Than Good Design
Sarah Mei (Ministry of Velocity)
Sometimes, you get a team of really smart developers with extensive knowledge of software design...but together, they write terrible code. Why does this happen? How can we avoid it? We'll deconstruct some bad JavaScript and start to recognize some of the invisible forces that guide our day-to-day software design decisions.
4:15pm-4:55pm (40m)
HTML5 and Browser Technologies, The Leading Edge
Web Components: A Tectonic Shift for the Web Platform

A "Thank You" Can Change Your Life
Nicholas Zakas (Box)
The world seems a lot harder than it used to be. It's easy to stop and think that being nice has gone out of fashion, only to be replaced by sharp, aggressive rhetoric.

This is the story of how saying "thank you" altered the course of my life and career.
