Augmented Reality - Flavours, Challenges and Writing AR Experiences in JavaScript
Thanks to Niantic the world now knows what augmented reality is. But did you know that the AR technology behind Pokemon Go is already more than 8 years old? In this session, Philipp will give you an overview of the three main categories of AR technology, what they are capable of and how they will empower your next AR app.
CSS vs. JavaScript, Trust vs. Control
CSS is a confusing matter for a lot of developers. We’re asked to write code that creates interfaces without getting the syntax we’re used to or the tooling we expect. Many a time this leads us to discard the language as silly and create interfaces using other means at our disposal. In this talk Chris Heilmann will show you how CSS evolved, what it can do for you and why it isn’t always needed to have control over what you do but instead allow users to get more flexible interfaces and browsers to do optimisations for you. You don’t need to love or understand CSS, but it is time we stopped creating code that makes it hard for maintainers and CSS experts to work with what we do. Learn about things to avoid at all costs and how you can prepare your products for CSS that scales and allows for redesigns without full rewrites. **Prerequisite attendee experience level**: advanced

Introducing Elm to a JavaScript App
Have you wanted to try Elm on a JavaScript project, but rewriting the whole code base was out of the question? With the right techniques, you won't need a rewrite! By the end of this talk you'll know how to introduce Elm to a JavaScript app incrementally, so you don't have to wait for a blank canvas. First we'll cover some Elm basics (in case you've never used it) as well as some benefits a programmer—or manager!—might get out of it. Then we'll get into the nuts and bolts of introducing Elm to an existing JavaScript code base, covering rendering, business logic, and the details in between. Come see how easily you can get started with Elm—not on your next project, but on the project you already have!
Augmented Reality - flavours, challenges and writing AR experiences in JavaScript
Thanks to Niantic the world now knows what augmented reality is. But did you know that the AR technology behind Pokemon Go is already more than 8 years old?

React Native
With React Native, you don't build a “mobile web app”, an “HTML5 app”, or a “hybrid app”. Instead you build a real mobile app that's indistinguishable from an app built using Swift or Java. React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps. You just put those building blocks together using JavaScript and React. Join this session to see how we use React Native to create an awesome viewer for the GOTO Conference speakers.
Angular 2 All the Way
A practical guide towards dealings with Reactive state management and Nativescript integration. In the beginning of 2016 we set off for an ambitious project. Our customer Essent wanted to rebuild their customer portal in Angular 2. It was also decided to use Nativescript combined with Angular 2 to build related mobile apps. The thought was that this should all play well together, although it was still in beta. Along the way we learned valuable lessons. For example about application state. Angular 2 is all about Component Based Application structures, and these components need to communicate with each other in isolation. Spoiler: the days of polling mechanisms are over and it’s time for efficient reactive Angular 2 applications with the help of RxJS.
The Future of Machine Learning & JavaScript
There are many exciting things happening with AI, from which, until recently, JavaScript developers were largely shut out. But things are changing, if you can do `npm install @tensorflow/tfjs` or make an API call, you can now do AI. In this fast-paced talk, I'll open your mind to what's possible by demoing several AI-powered JavaScript apps and show you how they were built using either TensorFlow.js or easy to use AI powered APIs. You don't need a PhD in Maths, you don't need years of experience, you just need imagination and the willingness to try. **What will the audience learn from this talk?**<br> This talk is an entertaining introduction to Machine Learning in JavaScript. The apps I demo are fun to watch and keep the audience interested in the more complex explanations that follow. We start with the basics of neural networks and end with understanding more complex NN like Generalised Adversarial Neural Networks. Without even trying too hard the audience walk away with a good knowledge of what's now possible with JavaScript with a clear call to action for how to learn more. **Does it feature code examples and/or live coding?**<br> No live coding but if there is enough time I live demo some apps. (It can work just as well without "live" demoing the apps.) **Prerequisite attendee experience level:** <br> [Level 100](https://gotober.com/2019/pages/experience-level)
WebAssembly Beyond the Browser
WebAssembly began as an experiment in bringing other languages to the browser, marking a radical shift in the fundamental programming model of the Web. It's not done. Today, WebAssembly is poised to reshape everything from Node.js modules to containers, and even edge computing. But how is technology from the client side relevant to those domains? Packed with live demos and real-world examples, this session draws from WebAssembly's past to predict its future. Come find out where we'll be in 2020, and beyond!
Web Component Design - Maintaining and Reusing Your Frontend
**Developing maintainable web frontends is difficult, but it can become easier if we take a step away from the huge JavaScript frameworks that overwhelm us and go back to the basics: small, composable components.** This session with Joy Heron will use an example web component to illustrate the approach that we can take to design better components. Technical details will be briefly mentioned, but the focus is on design principles that can be applied to any component. Instead of trying to apply things like accessibility and progressive enhancement as an afterthought, you can use them as building blocks to create simpler components. With a little care, you can avoid a lot of pitfalls that will otherwise make our life miserable and write code that we can easily reuse instead of having to rewrite functionality in every new project. **In this talk, you'll learn:** * The basics about component-based web development * Tips which are generally applicable for web development and a design process for thinking about and implementing modular frontend code
You Really Don't Need All that JavaScript, I Promise

Thinking Like a Data Scientist
The field of data science is having an little identity crisis. The fundamental questions of what data science is, and who a data scientist is, remain largely undecided. Regardless of where the answer will fall, there are a number of tools and techniques that every data scientist should have in their toolbelt. Although the software languages, frameworks, and algorithms will come in and out of fashion, the fundamentals behind the trade of data science, which we talk about in this session, have existed for centuries and will continue to be used for ages to come. **What will the audience learn from this talk?**<br> The audience will learn an overview and history of the math, philosophy, software engineering, and algorithms that are inseparable from the field of Data Science. We will cover techniques like optimisation theory like principle component analysis, at the level of analysing where and why we use certain techniques, but not how they are implemented or how to use them in a data science pipeline. **Does it feature code examples and/or live coding?**<br> Yes, there will be brief code examples **Prerequisite attendee experience level:** <br> [Level 100](https://gotoams.nl/2019/pages/experience-level)
Internationalisation is a Piece of Cake
While about 51% of the world’s websites are in English, only about 25% of web users are English speakers. With half of the world’s population online, internationalisation is as relevant as ever! Let’s explore how i18n gets made on the web and what we should keep in mind or avoid when making the web more accessible to the world. **What will the audience learn from this talk?** The audience will learn about internationalisation standards what i18n means, why internationalisation is a part of accessibility when building for a global population, how to keep you from losing your mind when trying to internationalise a website or app, how you should determine what to show and all the different things besides language that you need to think about when attempting to internationalise your project. **Does it feature code examples and/or live coding?** There are a few very short explanatory code examples, no live coding **Prerequisite attendee experience level:** [Level 100](http://gotocph.com/2019/pages/experience-level)
