Wesley Hales presents Writing Real-Time Web Apps - A look at HTTP2, SPDY, and WebSockets

The goal of this talk is to demonstrate the Real Time aspects of the web as it exists today and how it relates to HTTP 2.0. Did you know that the WebSocket specification is not related to HTTP 2? Did you also know that SPDY is just the starting point for HTTP 2? There is a lot of confusion when it comes to real time web development and what the future holds for HTTP. In this talk I'll review and demonstrate:

• Development workflows- Subprotocols (RPC vs PubSub)- Anti-patterns behind real time web development.- Pitfalls of running both WSS (Secure WebSockets) and SPDY over the same port
• Browser support and fallbacks
• Mobile device battery usage and best practices for preservation

Lucas Dohmen presents Introduction to ArangoDB Foxx

ArangoDB is a free and open source document and graph storage database with embedded JavaScript and an amazing query language. Foxx is an easy way to define APIs on top of ArangoDB to work with your Angular, Ember or Backbone app. Lucas Dohmen is on the ArangoDB core team and will give a brief overview of Foxx.
