Topic: Building with D3

Speaker : John Long

D3 has emerged as the premier visualization library for JavaScript. With an API that is similar to jQuery, D3 makes it easy to build complex HTML or SVG visualizations. In fact, regardless of your framework choice (jQuery, Ember, React, Angular, etc), almost all modern charting libraries are built on top of D3. In this talk, you'll learn about getting started with D3. We’ll start with the basics and work our way up to building a fully functional animated bar graph.

Topic: Profiling Node.js Applications

Speaker : Patrick Mueller

Brief: As software developers are starting to adopt Node.js into their products, the need for robust tooling has become apparent. For example, tools to analyze CPU performance and memory usage in applications. This presentation will cover some of the tools available, and show how they can help improve the performance of your Node.js applications, which will save you money and delight your customers.

Topic: Building truly native mobile apps with JavaScript/Angular

Speaker : Dan Wilson

Brief:

It’s never been a better time to be a JavaScript developer. Did you know you can use JavaScript to directly connect to every native platform API, without WebViews or binding code? Dan Wilson will build an app right in front of you and show you how you can get the native controls, performance and user experience your users deserve, without writing native code!

JavaScript Panel: Featuring Dan Wilson, Patrick Mueller, and John Long, we'll discuss JavaScript in the new year and things to look forward to as developers.

Moderators: Moe Long & Tracy Lee
