[NL] Joost Lubach | Pinch [Bijeenkomst bij Schiphol]

September 29, 2016 18:20 - 40 minutes Video

Pinch geeft een vernieuwende draai aan datamodellering door middel van interactief visueel programmeren. Dit vereist een zeer krachtige maar ook veelzijdige UI. Joost vertelt over hoe hij Web Workers inzet in een React / Flux-omgeving om de UI van Pinch zo snel mogelijk te maken, en gebruikers toch alle kracht van een spreadsheetprogramma te bieden.

Mathias Bynens | Front-End Performance: The Dark Side [Fronteers Spring Conference 2016]

April 01, 2016 13:05 - 20 minutes - 53.4 MB Video

In security-sensitive situations, performance can actually be a bug rather than a feature. This presentation covers timing attacks on the web, and demonstrates how modern performance-related web APIs can sometimes have a negative security impact.

Tobias Baldauf | Save the Day with HTTP2 Image Loading [Fronteers Spring Conference 2016]

April 01, 2016 12:45 - 20 minutes - 52.3 MB Video

Images form 64% of all website data & have a high correlation to page load time. Optimizing image delivery through compression alone is a daunting task. Using HTTP2's superpowers, we can optimize images to ship faster, increasing the perceived performance and initiating users' emotional responses to visuals earlier. HTTP2-powered image delivery leads to lower bounce rates and higher conversions. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2016-spring/sessions/save-the-day-with-http2-image-load...

April 01, 2016 12:25 - 17 minutes - 44.6 MB Video

Everyone in 2016 knows that websites should use HTTPS. However, there is a common misconception that TLS and other security measures slow down both web developers and page load times. This talk will show you some easy tricks to make your site more secure without sacrificing performance.

Estelle Weyl | RWD is not a Panacea [Fronteers Spring Conference 2016]

April 01, 2016 10:30 - 22 minutes - 51.6 MB Video

Responsive Web Design (RWD) is the solution for putting our apps on mobile devices. Or is it? Bloated web applications that simply shrink in width are not usable. Squishy design is not the only, or even the main, solution for improved mobile web user experience. Other than responsive design, how can we improve performance so our mobile web applications, responsive or not, are usable and accessible no matter how a user chooses to access it.

Karl Groves | To Hell with Performance [Fronteers Spring Conference 2016]

April 01, 2016 10:10 - 19 minutes - 49.5 MB Video

There are scores of concerns, both back-end and front-end, when considering performance. When it comes to accessibility, user performance is also a major concern and extends beyond things like perceived time. While perceived time is very important for UX, accessible user experience intersects performance in that it requires allowing the user to answer one core question as they work with the interface: "What is this thing, and what does it do". In this talk we'll talk about the intersections o...

Marcy Sutton | Accessibility and Performance [Fronteers Spring Conference 2016]

April 01, 2016 09:20 - 23 minutes - 58.6 MB Video

By studying the limitations of browsers with assistive technologies and establishing developer best practices, we can we make faster, more accessible experiences for our users. We'll frame Web Performance with an Accessibility lens, looking at progressive enhancement in detail with server- and client-rendered apps built with Angular 2, React or Ember FastBoot; always remembering our friend, static HTML.

Bram Stein | Web fonts performance [Fronteers Spring Conference 2016]

April 01, 2016 08:40 - 20 minutes - 48.5 MB Video

Web fonts are great. They are also be really bad for performance because they block rendering. You may have experienced this on a slow cellular network. Staring at a blank page is no fun, especially when content has already loaded. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2016-spring/sessions/web-fonts-performance-by-bram-stein

Paul Bakaus | The Illusion of Speed [Fronteers Spring Conference 2016]

April 01, 2016 08:20 - 24 minutes - 53.4 MB Video

If you could take a 50% hit in real world performance and get a site that feels 50% faster, would you? Nobody cares how fast your site is. All your users care about is how fast your site feels. Going beyond the perceived perf theory, Paul is bringing a bunch of demos of things that employ clever tricks and psychology to turn things that should be slow into things that feel incredibly fast.

Tobias Ahlin | Animation & perceived performance [Fronteers Spring Conference 2016]

April 01, 2016 08:00 - 18 minutes - 40 MB Video

How do we animate smoothly without laptop fans going haywire all around the world? It’s through animation that we make sense of the world: doors swing open, cars drive to their destinations, lips curl into smiles. Even the things that feel instantaneous, like lightning striking, or dropping a phone on your face while browsing in bed, happen over time, and it’s through that motion that we understand how objects relate and function; if they are light or heavy, rigid or loose, connected or separ...

[NL] Maarten Groeneweg | Modern testing [Bijeenkomst bij Netvlies]

December 10, 2015 20:00 - 53 minutes Video

Mooie principes maar ze maken het werk van de traditionele tester onmogelijk. Die verwacht namelijk een dik pak specificaties, PSD’s en een paar maanden tijd om alles te testen. Moeten we deze principes dus wel toe willen passen als we de kwaliteit van ons eindproduct niet kunnen garanderen? Meer info op: https://fronteers.nl/bijeenkomsten/2015/netvlies

[NL] Fréderic Luksemburg | Gebruikerstesten [Bijeenkomst bij Netvlies]

December 10, 2015 18:00 - 51 minutes Video

Het is heel goed om wireframes, designs en/of front-end al zo vroeg mogelijk te testen zodat je in een vroeg stadium nog wijzigingen kan doen alvorens je iets gerealiseerd hebt. Tenslotte kan je met een werkend front-end al een hoop gebruiksgemak en ervaring testen. Meer info op: https://fronteers.nl/bijeenkomsten/2015/netvlies

Chris Heilmann | Of Gaps, Fillers and Empty Spaces [Fronteers 2015]

October 09, 2015 14:50 - 47 minutes - 181 MB Video

Web development is in a state of confusion. We feel we are not innovating enough, we are let down by browsers and OSes and we try to fill all these holes with home made remedies. It's time to look at what we have, what we lost and what is a waste of our time. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2015/sessions/christian-heilmann-of-gaps-fillers-and-empty-spaces

Rejo Zenger | Freedom Can Be Designed [Fronteers 2015]

October 09, 2015 10:00 - 49 minutes - 171 MB Video

Nowadays, our built environment is largely made out of software. Developers directly influence the behaviour of their users through what the interface allows people to do with their software. A perfect interface isn't a solution for all software problems, but we do know that even the best algorithms are useless if they are not made accessible through an attractive and intuitive interface. This is essential when creating technology that is meant to protect our freedoms. More info at: https://f...

Phil Hawksworth | Static Sites Go All Hollywood [Fronteers 2015]

October 09, 2015 07:00 - 46 minutes - 167 MB Video

This talk will explore how we can break through some of those limits with the use of a new breed of hosted tools and services. We’ll look at practical examples of how a static site generator can help deliver a modern web development workflow, support a living styleguide, and also pack the kind of dynamic punch that you’d only think possible from bigger application stacks.

Jake Archibald | Modern Progressive Enhancement [Fronteers 2015]

October 08, 2015 14:50 - 50 minutes - 168 MB Video

Just because it requires JavaScript, doesn't make it wrong, but we often use JavaScript to engineer-away the parts of the web that are already better than native. Let's take a look at some real-world JavaScript-heavy applications, and how they can regain the performance of the web without losing features. Then, let's tackle the area progressive enhancement has largely ignored: Connectivity. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2015/sessions/modern-progressive-enhancement-jake-archibald

Dominic Szablewski | jsmpeg: Why a JavaScript Video Decoder Actually Makes Sense [Fronteers 2015]

October 08, 2015 11:50 - 40 minutes - 139 MB Video

Let's be honest: A JavaScript MPEG1 decoder sounds like a rather silly idea, but there are real world use cases where jsmpeg shines. In this talk I want to show some of the things that you can do with jsmpeg that you can't do with the HTML5 Element. I will also talk about how WebGL was used to speed up the decoding and discuss other tricks that improved performance.

Espen Brunborg, Gordon McLachlan & Bart Oleszczyk | Walking the Tightrope Between Mediocrity and Bankruptcy [Fronteers 2015]

October 08, 2015 10:00 - 55 minutes - 196 MB Video

Why does one set up a digital agency in the middle of a recession? Because one thinks one can do better. As it turns out, 'doing better' – marrying great design and progressive development whilst keeping clients happy and budgets lean – is a tightrope walk between delivering uninspired work and going out of business. Join us as we review what we've learned over the past four years. There will be tears! There will be triumph! There will be monkeys! More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/20...

Do you spend a lot of time building products and experiences just to have them be poorly implemented or rejected by various factions in your organization? Sometimes the hardest part of your job is getting your whole organization to fall in line and holistically develop and implement a consistent experience.

Scott Jehl | Delivering Responsibly [Fronteers 2015]

October 08, 2015 07:00 - 52 minutes - 167 MB Video

Responsive Design allows us to create flexible user interfaces that support the widest possible audience with a single front-end codebase. But in embracing the ever-increasing contexts in which our sites are used, performance and accessibility must remain our highest priorities; we must continually question each code addition, and improve our delivery and application techniques to ensure they’re best serving users’ needs.
