UtrechtJS Meetup #20

After a warm summer (who am I kidding? It's still a warm summer) it's time for some JavaScript again. We're branching out to Nieuwegein this time where Bluefront will be hosting us and providing us with awesome food and dirnks. We're still looking for speakers, so let us know if there's anyone who has something interesting to tell.

Daniel Beeke – OpenGroup

OpenGroup, a WebRTC fueled social system with an open plugin architecture. A social group system like Whatsapp or Facebook (chat) groups but without a company behind it to harvest the data. OpenGroup has a functional prototype but is not finished yet. There is a lot to be built. We will talk about the engine of OpenGroup: WebRTC, about the highly modular structure, testing p2p connections, VueJS, ES6 and more.

Marten Schilstra – Making Titanic Ember Apps Feel Tiny

Learn how to make your often slow loading Ember app load near instantly. In the past year I've been working on making the apps we deliver load faster, and we're I couldn't make it faster, I've made it appear to go faster. This talk combines well known page speed techniques with shiny new techniques like Service Worker and IndexedDB to make your Ember app load as fast as possible.

How to reach Bluefront

Bluefront is easy to reach by car and you can park at the Stadhuis garage in Nieuwegein, which is across the street and open until 23:00.

If you're coming in by public transport you can take tram 60 from Utrecht CS and get off at Merwestein, which stops right in front.
