Track 1: Instant VR, just add browser - Ruben van der Leun
With VR starting to taking off and AR becoming more and more of a thing, there is one particular industry that can play an important part in its adaption: The Web. This talk will cover why the browser is an effective tool to run XR applications and what tools are available to craft these virtual experiences, using three.js, AFrame, react-360 and Sumerian. Make sure your mobile is charged, bring your Google Cardboard because there will be live demos.

Track 2 – Security – Niels Schweisshelm
During the 2nd edition of the security workshop, we will go over recent attacks on large companies and how they could have been prevented. During this session, you also have the chance to do participate in several security challenges to gain some more security awareness. And we have pizza, of course.

Track 3 - JavaScript/CSS/HTML/Phyton Workshops
In Track 3 you can you choose one or more of several online workshops. Whether you want to start with programming, you're curious to know what this JavaScript thing is all about, create your first web page, get more familiar with backend development through Node.js. It's for all levels, we will have a rookie table for beginning developers. You can opt to start straight away with the workshops or first attend the presentation.
