Scaling Up and Down: Act 3 (Bare Metal) #3

Open mikeal opened 10 years ago

mikeal commented 10 years ago

In case I haven't told you yet, your talks were accepted :)

Act 3, Bare Metal, is about the awesome things we we can build without insane levels of abstraction :)

Your talks aren't too similar so I'm not worried about any overlap but I would like ya'll to talk a bit about what you're planning on doing so that your talks can transition nicely and you each have an understanding of what you'll be coming before/after.

I'm working on titles and short descriptions for the website. Let me know if these work:

@Raynos

require('http') -- The Web Framework

How much abstraction do you really need to quick build a webapp? Given all the small modules in npm is node core's http library enough "framework?" Jake Verbaten thinks so.

@jkleinsc

Building Offline First

The time has come to build offline first applications. As developers we have no excuse for our applications performing poorly or not at all when a data connection is unavailable. We can build applications that take offline as a primary design consideration. We can provide our users with robust applications regardless of connectivity and we can do it today.

@pchristensen

JavaScript Below the Sea Line

Node.js is promoted for using the same language on the server and client reducing the number of platforms to maintain and encouraging code reuse. The OpenROV project takes this a step further using Javascript to control the hardware of a miniature submersible.

Works for me

Raynos commented 10 years ago

Seems fine to me. Minor grammar though

@pchristensen you good with this? what is your full name for the website?

pchristensen commented 10 years ago

Looks good. Minor grammar change: there should be a comma after client ("on the server and client, reducing...")

Full name is Peter Christensen

mikeal commented 10 years ago

fixed, and published :)

jkleinsc commented 10 years ago

It looks like Peter's talk has the wrong title here: http://jsfest.com/mains.html

I haven't had time yet to update it with all the new speakers. I'm going to get to it this week.

Mikeal is the featuring page updated yet? Conf is only five weeks away and I wouldn't mind seeing who else is going to be speaking :^)

mikeal commented 10 years ago

Actually, my plan is to ditch the featuring page :) It was somewhat interim until we have the main schedule entirely updated (which I hope to do today). The people running unconfs that are in the featuring page will be noted on the main page with each event instead.

If you want to know who else is speaking all but 4 are noted in the README for this repo :)

@Raynos @pchristensen I wanted to talk about transitions between our talks. Seeing as my talk is in the middle I want to make sure that I can provide a smooth transition between our 3 talks. At a generic level it appears that the talks have the following basic themes:

  1. Server - require('http')
  2. Client - Building Offline First
  3. And beyond - JavaScript Below the Sea Line

Beyond that I was wondering if either of you had specific themes to your talks. For example, I have given versions of my offline talk that have a theme of surviving an apocalypse as a way of explaining how to build offline apps (see http://jkleinsc.github.io/jsconf13 for an example). I am not sure if I will continue this theme for this talk and was wondering if either one of you had any thoughts or ideas on themes you were planning on using.
