Optimizing JS Games: Hidden Classes, Inline Caches and Dictionary Mode
The main theme about this talk will be JS performance in JS games, or any JS applications in which DOM access isn't the bottleneck. As a developer of a game-targted browser engine Shpinx, I'd like to talk about concepts and stragies we use while optimizing games (不江湖, from fps 30 to 50) and canvas library (Cocos2d-html5, notably pull request #1015).
In addition to the concepts of hidden classes and inline caches, which were already discussed in some of the excellent talks like Vyacheslav Egorov's, this talk focuses more on dictionary mode and common ways how JS objects fall into it. Some demos of the tools for examining these internals might also be provided.
The talk will be given in Chinese.

My Year With Node.js
Over the past year I've dived deep into Node.js. I'll share what I've learned (and what I wish I had known) about the technology, the community, and building a startup around this vibrant open source ecosystem.

Zero to Ready with Geddy
The Geddy Web framework provides a simple, structured way to build a scalable, production-ready Web app with NodeJS.
In this talk, I'll show how easy it is to get started working on a Node app, starting by creating an app using Geddy's CLI, and a walk-through of a basic app layout. I will then move on to setting up a database, and then adding authentication by installing the geddy-passport module. The focus here is on building a practical, working application, along with demonstrating the setup of a JavaScript MVC app, and some Node conventions for code.
After setting up a basic app, I'll move on to showing how to use Geddy's generator scripts to set up a basic REST API, demonstrating how Geddy's MVC (model/view/controller) architecture works. I'll start with the model layer, Geddy's ORM (object-relational mapper) -- showing how Node's asynchronous programming paradigm works with database-access, and then moving on to Geddy's query API, and database migrations for schema changes. Next I'll show how to use the retrieved data to render a response -- either structured data (like JSON), or rendering HTML templates.
Last I'll cover how Geddy's MVC integrates with realtime -- using the same model code in the browser as on the server, and then show how to test a Geddy application.
The idea is to leave attendees with a working application, and a basic understanding of how the pieces of a Geddy app fit together -- to show how easy it is to use Geddy to jump-start a server-side JavaScript adventure with Node.

A Survey of Client-side Data Visualization
The rise of data-driven product management has brought data visualization to the fore in recent years. JavaScript developers are uniquely positioned to take advantage of high demand for data visualization and new browser features. In this talk I cover the history of data visualization, the best tools available today, and what's next.
Topics Covered: Best and worst practices, modern datavis tools (D3, Google Charts), performance concerns

HTTP is Hard
As web services have become a standard method for interacting with a central service, REST principles over HTTP are the most common interface. But the HTTP specification is actually very complex (much more complex than telnet or IMAP). This talk focuses on the (often) unseen underlying complexity of properly developing web services against the HTTP protocol, and provides some suggestions on developing node.js web services that adhere to the spirit and letter of the HTTP specification.

Lean Development with Node.js
Largely based on my personal experiences and those of entrepreneurial friends in the valley, I want to talk about why Node.js is so great for building startups and how it facilitates a lean style of product development.
My story: Building Hipcamp with Node.js and the pivots I've made, why Node.js allowed us to make them faster and more seamlessly. A couple places where I fell down.
Art of Prototyping: How Node.js empowers building products that test riskiest business assumptions first (super lightweight, fast).
Customer Development: How Node.js enables more rapid product iterations, quicker reaction of user feedback, how to elicit and integrate user feedback into product roadmap
Lean Team: Why Node.js is great for building products with small teams (everyone can do server and client side, no loss of time in context-switching)
Analytics with Node.js: How to build, measure, learn

Don't Panic - The Hitchhiker's Guide to Node
Full-stack JavaScript application opens up new possibilities but it also adds a challenge of making many in-flight decisions, such as the following: Should we use a web framework? Which one? How to organize our client-side codebase? Should we write in Object Oriented or Functional style?
In this talk we won't spend time on fluff and dive right in to a real codebase. I'll share code and practices that are applicable immediately to any JavaScript developer.

Self Discovery: Looking for Insight in Javascript’s Esoteric Roots
One of the most common gripes about Javascript is its use of prototypes rather than classes, if the myriad tools, patterns, and frameworks that massage it into a more classical OOP model are any indicator. But are these approaches hammering a prototypal peg into a class-shaped hole? What was happening in the early 90s that made Brendan Eich reach for prototypes rather than classes when designing his new language?
To find out, let’s a take a trip back in time and examine an exciting and very different language that heavily influenced Javascript: Self. Self is an ambitious language that, among other things, introduced prototypal OOP to the programming world. What lessons can we learn from this early pioneer of prototypal languages? Can we write better Javascript by understanding Self’s goals and approach to programming? Let’s explore the ambitions of Self and see if we can suss out the advantages and disadvantages of the prototypal approach and apply what we find to our own Javascript writing.

Patterns of Large-Scale JavaScript Applications
JavaScript has come a long way in few years. As we no longer need to battle DOM differences we can focus on building our applications instead. Now, however, as more and more application logic move from the server to the client our main problem is that we need to unlearn our earlier DOM-centric approach to JavaScript. Tools such as Backbone and Angular help, but before we are able to use the effectively we have to change some of our neural pathways. In this talk I will look at a couple of patterns that will help you move away from jQuery spaghetti and get you started on a foundation for building large-scale JavaScript applications.

Automated CSS-testing: Not just a myth
You have some kind of test suite for your web app, so you know the features work. But does it look right? You fire up half a dozen virtual machines and open your drawer with five different mobile devices in it to check it out. The lack of automation in that is embarrasing.
Some people say that you can't test HTML/CSS. I'd like to show you the opposite. You can automate testing visual layout, refactor your CSS with confidence and get rid of this pain.
You understand why. Let's talk about how.
