18:30 – 18:50: What Every Web Developer Needs to Know About HTTP/2, Ido Flatow
HTTP/2 keeps most of HTTP 1.1’s syntax intact, but drastically changes the way data is transported between the client and the server. We will discuss the key performance improvements around pushing new content and multiplexing requests, header compression, and more.

18:50 – 19:10: Analyzing Node.js Memory Leaks, Sasha Goldshtein
Like any garbage-collected runtime, Node.js is no exception: memory leaks can form from having dangling references to objects you don’t need anymore. In this short talk, we’ll see how to look at Node memory usage over time, how to capture heap snapshots, and how to analyze them in Chrome Developer Tools.

19:10 – 19:40: Introduction to Docker for Web Developers, Ofir Makmal
Docker and containers have taken over the world as a compact, standard software delivery platform. In this talk we’ll explore how Docker containers work, and understand the fundamental commands for creating, running, and deploying containerized applications.
