2. PWA: The Time Has Come - Anton Zalaldinov
Explore the current state of Progressive Web Apps (PWA) and how they are transforming the way we build and use mobile applications. With Apple's recent introduction of push notifications for mobile Safari, the time is ripe to discuss the potential of PWAs and their ability to provide users with native app-like experiences. Attendees will learn about the latest PWA developments and best practices, and gain insights into how PWAs can drive engagement, conversions, and revenue for businesses of all sizes.

3. Using CodeQL to secure the World's JavaScript at GitHub - Andrew Eisenberg
CodeQL is a static analysis engine used by developers to automate security checks, and by security researchers to perform variant analysis. In CodeQL, code is treated like data. Security vulnerabilities, bugs, and other errors are modelled as queries that can be executed against databases extracted from code.
In this talk, I will introduce CodeQL for JavaScript, how to use it to creates databases, how to write simple queries to find code vulnerabilities in JavaScript, and I will walk you through a real-world JavaScript vulnerability that was discovered through the use of CodeQL.
Andrew is an engineer at GitHub who is building extensibility into the CodeQL compiler. He has a PhD from UBC and calls Vancouver his home.
