Track: Full Stack Javascript
Location:
- Churchill, G flr.
Day of week:
- Wednesday
From browser toy to the world's number one programming language, JavaScript's 20-year career may have taken a different path to Java, but is equally a foundation of critical systems for everyone from large enterprises to start-ups.
In the Full-Stack JavaScript track, technology leaders from organisations large, and some smaller, will tell their real-world stories of putting Javascript into production right across the stack. We’ll look at how the language itself has matured, how NodeJS lends itself to building scalable microservice oriented back-ends, how large production systems are moving from legacy platforms to NodeJS, what isomorphic Javascript really means and more.
Ultimately, this is a track that sets out to cut through misconceptions and hype to answer one practical question: how should we be using Javascript in 2016?

As Node continues to go from strength to strength, being widely adopted not only within the startup community but more and more by the Enterprise community, a number of anti-patterns are beginning to emerge.
This talk focuses on the strengths of JavaScript in the Enterprise by trying to isolate the anti-patterns that are slowly beginning to emerge.

Document Coin uses a simple hash history algorithm to track coin provenance. Coin content is secured with cryptography but the history is secured with a hash of the cleartext content. We'll follow the JavaScript cryptography code line by line, using HTML5 Web Crypto APIs and IETF standardized JSON signature formats.
Coins also carry a copy of the signers public key which makes sybil attacks frictionless unless we take care which pubic keys we believe, so in a full implementation,...

JavaScript on browsers, on smartphones, on servers, on physical devices. In the Internet of Things, the benefits of a single language platform are quite compelling: coding with the same libraries and frameworks (even for embedded developmaent), but deploying on different platforms. How can we build an Enterprise Internet of Things application based on all of these? What patterns should we follow? In this talk I will present an approach combining robotics, REST APIs, MicroServices, a Frontend...

Head of Architecture for Omni-Channel at Thomas Cook Group
Thomas Cook recently architected much of their back-end. They chose a NodeJS micro-service architecture and in this talk Pascal Laenen, the Head of Architecture for their Omni-Channel team, will act as a guide through the journey they took from initial idea to execution of building their micro-service architecture. He'll cover the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful.
