JavaScript is finding its way further and further out of the browser. Only a couple of years ago, if someone had said they wanted to build robots only using JS you'd think they were crazy. Having tried it at the time those naysayers were correct - it was a disaster. Recently, particularly as a result of the nodebots project, JS Robotics has started to come of age and it's now possible to build simple robots using JavaScript for the majority of the stack - everything from control and sensing to motors to lights, AI and computer vision. This talk will give an overview of what's currently possible, where the current gotchas are, how to get started and have some interactive elements that can be played with during or after the session. Andrew is a creator & destroyer of things that combine mobile web, ubicomp and lots of data. Sometime programmer, interaction researcher & CTO @ JBA.

VBI: Lost Connection is a VR multiplayer escape room where two players, as VBI special agents, need to cooperate inside Avery’s Virtual World to unfold the story and solve Adam Vogel’s mystery. The experience had to be designed for public spaces, including narrative elements and 2-people enigmas, which has led to specific challenges and solutions given a development time of 2 months. In this session we'll see how the experience has been made with Unreal Engine 4, the best practices followed, the technical integration of Watson Visual Recognition and lessons learned.

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Aren't Dead: They're Pining For The Fjo...

Seattle Interactive Conference

Presenter: Paul Mealy, Director of Interactive, POP Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are no longer a blip on the technology horizon. They've arrived. And if you haven't started planning on what they might mean to your business, you may already be a step behind. And with change in the VR and AR space happening so quickly, it can be difficult to separate the signal from the noise. In fact, some technological naysayers are already pining VR and AR as just another fad that will die out similar to the Nintendo Virtual Boy of old. In this talk, Paul will help you separate what warrants your attention in the virtual reality/augmented reality/mixed reality space, and where it might make sense to focus your business development efforts.

Varun Vachhar rangle.io Overview JavaScript frameworks allow us to build innovative and delightful experiences for our users. A common approach adopted with these modern tools is to combine all required JavaScript into one large bundle. Therefore, causing the loading performance to suffer. Especially on older devices or devices with low memory and processing power. An alternative approach is to split your code into various smaller chunks which you can then be loaded on demand — allowing you to reduce the load time drastically. In this session, Varun will demonstrate how you can adopt the practice of code-splitting when building applications with frameworks such as React and Vue. Objective Learn how to use code-splitting to improve the loading performance of Javascript heavy applications. Target Audience Front-end developers who build JavaScript heavy applications Assumed Audience Knowledge Basic understanding of web development and some familiarity with frameworks such as React, Angular or Vue. Level Intermediate Five Things Audience Members Will Learn What is code-splitting? Different types of code-splitting How to split a React or Vue application How to “lazy-load” parts of the application Removing duplicate code from chunksa

Designing for Digital Health

FITC

Presented at Web Unleashed 2019 More info at www.fitc.ca/webu Andréa Crofts League Overview Examining our responsibility as creators to design for disconnection. The “restore connection” alert isn’t just for devices– it applies to people too. And it’s more important now than ever before. Digital creators, we need to talk. The rise in mental health as a result of situational stress is a prevailing theme in today’s society, and some of the products we’re building are the root cause. But we have the power to change this. As creators of digital products, how might we enable our users to be more present in their lives? How might we invest in features like Instagram’s activity timer, despite the fact that they’re fundamentally counterintuitive to the usage metrics most behemoth tech companies are driving towards? We have a responsibility as creators of digital products to enable others to disconnect …and re-connect with themselves, physically and mentally. This intersection is an emerging category Andrea likes to call digital health, and it’s something we can create together. Objective To share actionable strategies, principles and considerations for designing with digital health top of mind. Andrea will get into some #realtalk about how we can collectively create more balance and presence for the humans using our products. Target Audience Designers and digital creators of all kinds – especially those building digital products at scale! Level Open to audience members of any skill level (this is a more high-level talk) Five Things Audience Members Will Learn Tips and best-in-class examples of designing for digital health Design guidelines and principles for designing with digital health in mind Evidence-based practices to ground your future design decisions Strategies for re-framing the success metrics of digital products Design ethics resources

Profiling JavaScript Performance

FITC

Presented at Web Unleashed 2019 More info at www.fitc.ca/webu Luke DeWitt REDspace Overview JavaScript’s popularity has exploded over the last decade, taking it from a laughable scripting language to one that powers much of the web today. Because it’s so flexible and so easy to learn, it’s extremely popular with new developers looking to cut their teeth in programming. However, these strengths are also weaknesses, as it’s incredibly easy to write bad JavaScript without even knowing it. A lot of these newer developers jump from “Hello, World!”, to TodoMVC in order to find the library that makes their life easier. By doing this, they skip over some of the important details of not only how JavaScript works, but also how to optimize its performance to ensure the best user experience. The Chrome profiler is a very handy tool that not a lot of developers have experience with. In this talk, we’ll take a beginner’s look at the profiler tool and examine how to use it to best improve your web application, and identify bottlenecks in your code without having to rely only on console.log statements. Objective To help developers understand how to better make use of the JavaScript profiler. Target Audience Any JavaScript developers Assumed Audience Knowledge Basic JavaScript Level Beginner / intermediate Five Things Audience Members Will Learn Javascript inner-workings Profiling concepts Identifying bottlenecks Profiling node applications Tooling

HyperLight Websites

FITC

Presented at FITC Toronto 2019 More info at www.fitc.ca/toronto Chris Zacharias imgix Overview The average website loads over 1.5MBs of content per page, making over 75 requests. Many popular websites are serving over 5MBs just to load their homepages. And these numbers represent measurements taken AFTER compression is applied. The full weight of many popular websites is pushing 20+ MBs these days. In an era where performance truly matters to the end user experience, web developers need techniques to help curtail this bloat in data down the wire. No matter how well you optimize, there is no better way to than to delete things you do not need. How does one determine what is essential to the user experience and what is not? One answer Chris posits is to develop a hyper-lightweight version of your website which will provide critical insights into your specific performance priorities. This is a process that he has leveraged on many projects, in particular at YouTube to reduce the size of the video watch page from 1.5MBs to 100KBs. In this talk, Chris will take real-world web pages and show techniques for dramatically reducing their page weight and for identifying areas to optimize, while outlining the key steps to doing this well. Objective Learn a process for building a hyper-lightweight version of your website for establishing reasonable performance budgets, grounded in reality, to work from. Target Audience Web developers Assumed Audience Knowledge HTML, CSS, Javascript, some server-side awareness. Level Intermediate Five Things Audience Members Will Learn How to analyze a web page for performance issues A holistic approach to deconstructing an existing website A clear process for building a hyper-lightweight version of your website Translating your findings into real performance priorities Establishing a realistic performance budget

In this particular talk Michael wants to touch on the process of creation with technology at VT Pro, to further explore a full circle approach to inspiration and creation where often times our next project is inspired by something learned in the process of creating something else. By exploring what went wrong and what went right in a number of different projects he’s created, Michael will touch on points where inspiration can be found in this world of seemingly endless technology; the importance of collaboration; what can be learned from the moments that don’t necessarily go as planned; and how often projects come close to failure than the audience ever knows. Lastly he wants to touch on the process of finding personal inspiration to inspire an audience, and the momentum to push further that comes from their energy. Objective Things often don’t go as planned, but often that’s the fun part. Target Audience Creative technologists and experience designers Five Things Audience Members Will Learn Collaborative process Giving personality to a piece of technology How to learn from the unexpected We all start somewhere (the journey is just as important as the destination) Everything is possible now

Post-Earth Visions: Designing for Space and the Future Human

FITC

Presented at FITC Toronto 2019 More info at www.fitc.ca/toronto Sands Fish MIT Media Lab Overview Today, the environments that humans occupy in space are designed for survival. Humans are carefully shuttled to and from space, and during their relatively short stays, they are provided with minimum supplies to remain alive and able to perform experiments. As we begin to plan less for short visits and more for life in space (such as a six to eight month trip to Mars and beyond) the question becomes: What does human culture look like in space? This talk will explore how human culture, design, and creativity might evolve as we begin to live in space, and the unique environmental conditions that might guide us in certain directions, just as the environment on Earth has. It will discuss space tourism, living in zero gravity, and some experiments in art and design that hint at future aesthetics.

High Performance PWAs

FITC

Hasan Ahmad Aquent DEV6 Overview PWAs are a newly emerging delivery format for web, desktop apps. The fact that they can be installed on a client device and behave like natively installed apps means that special care should be taken when designing and building these types of apps, above and beyond a typical browser-only web application. One of the most important (potential) differentiators in the user experience of a PWA app vs a traditional web app is the ability to provide a high-performance UI because of their ability to do things like cache resources offline, including entire pieces of Web UI code, and the use of background services. In this talk we are going to do an exhaustive overview of the entire landscape of building PWAs from a performance-first perspective.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management. The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM). Speakers: Bob Boule Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle. Gopinath Rebala Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

Frank van Harmelen

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”. All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor Turskyi

Fwdays

I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
