"Compiling the Web: Building NodeJS and WebKit from Source"by Scott Fredericksen and Scott Davis

When someone mentions "Open Source Web Tools", you probably immediately think of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. But what about Apache web server? MongoDB? WebKit? Blink? NodeJS? All written in C and C++.

In this talk, Scott Fredericksen (founder of the Denver Tech Center C++ Developers Meetup) and Scott Davis (founder of the HTML5 Denver User Group) join forces to show you how to build the tools of the Web. They'll begin by showing you how to get a C/C++ build environment set up for Linux, OS X, and Windows. After that, they'll pull down source code for NodeJS, WebKit, and other projects. You'll be compiling C/C++ projects in no time!

"Sneak Peak at Angular 2"by Scott Davis

AngularJS 1 was released in 2009. It's become one of the most popular web frameworks in use today. But when developers got their first glimpse of Angular 2 in an early Alpha release in mid-2015, many were concerned about how radically different it looks.

Of course, 7 years is an eternity in Internet-time. A lot has changed since AngularJS 1 was first introduced -- the HTML5 revolution, the Mobile revolution, a significant new version of JavaScript (ECMAScript 2015, or ES6), and the rise of component-oriented web frameworks. Angular 2 looks quite a bit different than AngularJS 1 because it fully embraces these cutting-edge technologies. By doing so, it also radically simplifies the code you'll write. If Directives gave you heartburn in AngularJS 1, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by what Angular 2 offers as a replacement.

In this talk, Scott Davis (author/presenter of the O'Reilly video "Exploring the Architecture of the MEAN Stack") gives you a gentle introduction to the Angular 2 beta that was released in December, 2015. You'll see the core browser technologies you'll want to be intimately familiar with (ES6, Web Components), learn about the key changes between 1 and 2, and see some Angular 2 beta code in action.

Change can be scary, but you shouldn't be afraid of Angular 2. You should be more afraid of stale, stinky, decade-old code bases that aren't keeping up with the times...
