Emojis, Art & Web APIs with Monica Dinculescu and Zeno Rocha
Details
Talk #1—Emoji, Web Components, and Art with Monica Dinculescu
Making art on the web is easy, if you got the right tools. HTML has styled divs. JavaScript has canvas. I have an emoji keyboard. But what if our tools were better, and making art was easier? What if there was a magical widget that transformed any word into emoji? Or an image into pixels, that you can then style with CSS? What if it was easy to build these tools, and give them out to people, so that they can make art? Spoilers: it is, and I'm going to tell you about it.

Monica (@notwaldorf (https://twitter.com/notwaldorf)) works on the Polymer Elements team at Google, making pretty and accessible widgets for everyone to use. Before this, she worked on Chrome for two years, so she's pretty sure she has at least once broken the Internet for you. She will probably eat all of your Oreos, if you have any.
Talk #2—Web APIs you [probably] didn’t know existed...
You’ve probably heard about the amazing things that HTML5 can do. Maybe you already saved some data using Local Storage, fetched user coordinates using Geolocation, or even drew graphs and other objects using Canvas. But did you know there are many more new JavaScript APIs in the Web Platform? In this talk, we’ll see how to leverage the power of those APIs in order to create better experiences for your users.
