In this talk Tim going to go through various security headers explaining how and when to use them and some of the pitfalls. It’s a journey that will take us through HTTPS and into a world where we need to consider carefully what third party content is being used.

Daniel Martí: Publishing your Go package on NPM

JavaScript can be used practically anywhere these days. However, plenty of libraries are written in compiled languages, meaning that making use of them in environments like the browser can be very tricky.

This talk will show how to publish a simple Go package on NPM using GopherJS and a bit of glue code. It will also briefly show Go's future with JavaScript thanks to its improving WebAssembly support.
