Stop Stalling: Streaming video on the web

The use of video on the web and on mobile is growing. It is as easy as adding a, and you’re good to go. But, all the top video sites (YouTube, Netflix, Hulu) all stream their video. What do they know that we don’t know? Is streaming more efficient? Do I need any special equipment to create or serve video streams?

In this talk, we’ll learn how to create and stream videos, weigh the pros and cons of streaming vs. static videos, and see how easy it is to get started delivering streaming content on the web or to a mobile app.
In this talk, we’ll look at the performance aspects of delivering video on the web, and how to improve the performance of video by using streaming instead of static videos.

Web automation with puppeteer

Ever wanted to make your own internet bot that would buy you a first ticket for the newest Tarantino premiere? Or maybe you don’t like the UI for ordering food from your favorite restaurant so you would like to have your node script order it for you every day?
Let us automate web interaction using Google’s Puppeteer - a Node library that provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium. Almost anything you can do manually in the browser can also be done using Puppeteer.

Q, thanks a lot for helping us organize this event, feel free to check them out and show some love <3 - https://q-software.com
