Talk title: Modern JavaScript and PhoneGap
Talk description: JavaScript is changing with new versions of the standard now releasing every year, and lots of proposals being considered for inclusion. Most mobile devices can only support this new world with the help of automation, module loaders and bundlers, and transpilers… but if all of those words sound a little scary, don’t worry — it’s easy to build a workflow that integrates modern JavaScript and PhoneGap together, and in this session we’ll show you how!
Workshop title: Creating a Modern PhoneGap Plugin
Workshop description: Creating a PhoneGap plugin doesn’t have to be scary, and it isn’t all that difficult! In this workshop you’ll learn how to create a simple plugin, how to structure your plugin for multi-platform support, how to add it to your projects, and how to test it thoroughly using Cordova’s plugin testing framework.

Bio: Greg Bulmash started in tech by publishing jokes and humorous essays to his own web site, eventually rising to become Senior Editor of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com). In 2005, he dusted off his BASIC programming skills from the 80s, taught himself some of the programming languages that power the web, and pivoted into a career writing code and communicating with developer audiences. He currently works as a Technical Evangelist for Login with Amazon, and in his spare time he runs Seattle CoderDojo, a volunteer group where local tech professionals help kids learn computer programming.
He's spoken at OSCON, CascadiaJS, DevNexus, Developer Week, CodeMotion Amsterdam, and other meetups and conferences about web development, programming, and teaching kids how to code.
Talk title: Rolling Your Own Multi-Platform Voice Assistant
Talk description: Voice is the new IU of choice, and while most mobile platforms have some voice functionality built in, cloud-based voice APIs are making it possible to create a unified voice-powered experience that follows you from mobile to desktop to… Walk through building a voice-powered PhoneGap app on desktop and mobile, using Amazon’s Lex and Polly services from AWS to voice-enable your apps

Talk title: Performant Animations for Hybrid Apps
Talk description: Adding animations to web and hybrid apps can be challenging. Aside from choosing technique, you are often left with jank and less than desirable performance - sometimes even after following best practices for animations.
This talk will cover:
1: What are my choices when animating?;
2: What are the tradeoffs / how do I decide?;
3: What are the common pitfalls?;
4: How do I debug performance problems?;
5: Getting a smooth animation.

Talk title: Stencil.js and the future of components
Talk description: Have you ever found an awesome component online, but couldn't use it because it's written for a different framework? For too long now, frameworks have gotten in the way of developers sharing code that they've written. With different APIs to work with, developers would have to rewrite a component multiple times to be able to work with React, Angular, Vue, or even Ember. Enter Web Components. Built on open web standards, Web Components provide a way for creating reusable components that can work within every framework, and even outside of them. Find out what Ionic’s been experimenting with and see why Web Components are the way of the future.

Workshop Description:
Objectives
Understand the importance of testing and know basic differences between different types of testing
Develop greater knowledge about unit testing by looking at examples of unit tests, setting up the necessary testing environment, and writing their own unit tests
Have had time to experiment with unit testing and have valuable resources for next steps & things to try out during free-roam time

Bio: During the day, Tim works on the PhoneGap project mostly focusing on the PhoneGap Developer App. By night, Tim dons his special terry cloth bath robe and makes cool 3D art usually about something from the 80's. In between, he's probably eating a sandwich.
Workshop title: Creating Voxel Art for WebVR!
Workshop description: In this art oriented workshop, learn how to create 3D voxel art in MagicaVoxel and view them in WebVR on your phone. We will learn the ins and outs of using MagicaVoxel to create fun 3D models for you to use. Then once your models are good and ready, we will use a PhoneGap project to view our models in WebVR. Bringing a mouse is highly recommended for this workshop!

Talk title: Music Exploration in PhoneGap
Talk description: What can you do with sound in phonegap? In this talk I'll explore what you can accomplish with sound in apps from music to noise. How to build a metronome, where timing is crucial. How to build an instrument, where pitch is critical. How to combine the 2 to make a sequencer. Then we'll look at what it takes to make a phonegap synthesizer.
