Project Fugu: Progressive Web Apps, Superpowered

Progressive Web Apps are a great cross-platform application model, even if somewhat restricted in use—until now, that is. Project Fugu is an initiative led by Google, Microsoft, and Intel. Their goal: a more capable web. Home screen shortcuts, clipboard access, and native file system access are only a few examples of Fugu’s powerful APIs. Are you ready to superpower your Progressive Web App?

### Iulia Buga ###

Welcome to Deno Land, or the New Way To JavaScript

This talk aims to give an introduction to Deno, a secure runtime for JavaScript and Typescript. Deno is created by the “10 Things I regret about Node.js” author, Ryan Dahl, and promises to be fixing these downsides of Node.js - and more.

We will have a look at the history of Node.js and the necessity of a new runtime. What makes Deno different from Node.js? What is the current state of the development? Will Deno be as popular as Node, that has reached major adoption in enterprise environments?
