Presented by Priceline.com - React Workshop
[This is a 1-hour interactive session. You will learn to write elementary React components. Bring your laptop to follow along.]
Learning how to write React code is much like learning to write regular JavaScript. The underlying patterns defined in the React library allow for developers to take full advantage of the advancements made to the JavaScript language over the last few years. This workshop will help you identify the parts of the code that are regular JavaScript and the parts that are special to React.
By understanding the concepts presented in this workshop, learning React will come much simpler. A goal of this workshop is to spend more time looking more closely at how modern JavaScript works. This workshop will not cover all language constructs but will give you a reasonable foundation in the language to help give you tools to help with your continued learning.

Justin Krup & Mirza Joldic - Building meteor-now
In this presentation we'll share how we built meteor-now to enable painless deployments of Meteor applications using zeit.co's now service. (zeit is run by the builders of socket.io and mongoose open source projects.) We'll also explain how we use containers for resource allocation and how zeit supports them.
Mirza Joldic been working with JavaScript and Meteor exclusively for over a year and enjoys building apps that can potentially reach millions of people. He is a co-organizes the Meteor-NY Office Hours meetup. Follow him on Twitter at @purplecones (https://twitter.com/purplecones)
