Talks:

Conquer the Gotchas

led by:

Aisha Blakeabstract

: It's amazing how many people new to development truly believe there will come a time when they don't have to Google. No matter your level of experience, it's simply impossible to know everything there is to know about web development. Luckily, there are some things you can keep an eye out for that will make your workflow more seamless and less stressful. In this talk, I'll cover a collection of common gotchas and their quick solutions.

The Beginning of the End of CSS

led by:

Vince Speelman

abstract: No matter how hard you may try, you're going to end up running into your favortie language, CSS. The good news is that it can be a lot simpler than the stylesheet bourgeoisie make it out to be. By employing functional programming techniques, you can simplify your stylesheets, work with confidence, and never write CSS again.

You're just not my type: A TypeScript overview

led by: Steve Barman (http://stevebarman.com/) abstract: TypeScript is a pretty fun super set of javaScript. This talk covers the basics of what it is, how it works, and what the benefits it has for anyone using javaScript in development.
