WebRTC – Nitin Savant – https://github.com/conclave-team/conclave
Walk-in lightning talks are welcome, as time allows!
7:00 - Main presentation
"Exploring the JavaScript Event Loop" (Zach Skalko, @zapplebee)
Examine what makes JS go and what makes it slow (or full stop) with an investigation into: how the call stack works, how Web APIs interact with it, and what it means to be single-threaded in JavaScript. Learn how asynchronous code can be your friend in an environment where heavy functions slow down user experiences. Interact with Web APIs to keep the stack from overflowing and finally learn why you had to setTimeout(() => { yourCode() }, 0).
7:45/8:00 - Free time to discuss, network, hack, etc.
8:30 - Disperse!
Location Notes:
Guest parking lot alongside the building on 5th Street and 5th Avenue. If you choose to park here, sign in and out with the security guard at the main entrance. There is also ample street parking around the building.
You will want to enter the building on the north side (opposite of the rail tracks). Signs will direct you to the elevators and the 9th floor. The building will lock up at 8pm and at that time it will be an exit only situation.
It's always a great event, hope to see you there!
