🎛State Machines - Josh Wulf / Jim Riordan / Daniel Mitchell - 30min:
People have been employing and managing complex workflows with state machines. These days we can even do that using cloud based solutions such as AWS Step Functions, Azure Logic Apps or even PubNub Functions. Learn about different examples as well as the design and function of this wonderful concept with this team talk.

⏱Networking during intermission - 25min:
Pizza thanks to PCCW Global's Brisbane team & Drinks thanks to Just Digital People :-)

💣Preventing Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks in Angular and React - Alex Klaus (Github: AKlaus) - 20min
Alex can give us a short run on the state of affairs in the modern SPA frameworks (Angular, React) when it comes to various attack vectors. Through his examples you'll see why we should take these issues seriously as they can creep into our code. From using various methods such as using HTTP headers or specific input sanitisation, Alex can steer you in the right direction.

🛳NodeJS & Docker - Ashley Davis (@ashleydavis75) - 15min:
After working hard on his latest book, Ashley is coming out to give us overview of docker and then how to use it with node to great effect! If you've not had the inclination on how to use docker for dev or production of your projects, this should surely be the kick you need!

🏕Lightning Talk on CampJS - Kartik Gupta (@kartikgupta) - <10m:
A lot of us love CampJS. Kartik wants to tell you a bit about it. Nuff said.
