(1) JavaScript Iterables, (2) Open Source Libraries in TypeScript

** Two talks! "Understanding JavaScript iterables" & "Writing Open Source Libraries in TypeScript"**

::Title::
Understanding JavaScript iterables

::Description::
Iterables are powerful JavaScript features. They create a consistent interface for various collections (like arrays, strings, streams, and more); they can often be much faster and memory-efficient; they open up programming styles that were difficult to achieve before

This presentation aims explain iterables and their use cases.

It is aimed at intermediate JavaScript developers. They should know about JavaScript `Set`s and `Map`s, and they should know about array collection functions like `map`, `filter`, and `reduce`.

::Title::
Writing Open Source Libraries in TypeScript

::Description::
Writing Typescript is fun! Writing open source libraries is also fun! Turns out doing them together is hard. In this talk I'll cover all the ways you can write TypeScript and ship it to npm in a way that makes all JavaScript users happy, be they browser, nodejs, ReactNative, webpack, etc.
