Elijah Manor & Andreas Gal

Dear fellow JavaScript enthusiasts!

In April we will have the fourth meeting of The Berlin JavaScript Playback Meetup group, where we watch interesting JavaScript talks from conferences around the world.

Both selected videos are recordings of highly-rated presentations given at O'Reilly Fluent Conference 2015.

Most developers can smell brittle and fragile code a mile away, but it takes time and training to combat against these smells. In the first speech Eliminate JavaScript Code Smells, Elijah Manor will discuss various common smelly code snippets and discuss techniques on how we can eliminate and protect against their pungent odors creeping into your codebase.

Ensuring flawlessly fluid animations and interactions is exceptionally hard. Andreas Gal will highlight some of the fundamental principles of HTML5 rendering in his keynote Dirty Performance Secrets of HTML5. These principles are important to understand in order to diagnose and avoid performance problems and the dreaded “jank” in modern Web applications.
