Robert Jan Verkade | On power & responsibility [Fronteers 2013]
October 10, 2013 10:00 - 45 minutes - 99 MB VideoWhen Fronteers was founded in 2007, front end as a profession was still in its infancy. These days, we can safely say it is a grown-up profession. Although we can always do better! More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2013/sessions/on-power-and-responsibility
Peter van der Zee | Real-time recompilation of running JavaScript [Fronteers 2013]
October 10, 2013 09:10 - 38 minutes - 86.1 MB VideoIn this talk Peter will demonstrate step by step how to transform a simple piece of JavaScript to a state where you can change the code while running it. This is particularly handy for visual applications, or applications with continuous data stream processor like a chatbot. This principle is then generalized in a library. He'll explain the basics, how it works, fixes for certain edge cases, and some open issues. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2013/sessions/real-time-recompilation
Zoe Mickley Gillenwater | Putting Flexbox into practice [Fronteers 2013]
October 10, 2013 07:50 - 49 minutes - 110 MB VideoThe Flexible Box Layout module, called “flexbox” for short, is the most fully developed and well supported of CSS3’s wide array of new techniques for creating page layouts. Web developers are itching to use it, and with good reason—flexbox allows you to create fluid, responsive layouts without having to worry about crazy percentage grid widths, negative margins, float drop, and all those pesky CSS layout quirks we’ve dealt with for over a decade.

Steve Souders | Pre-browsing [Fronteers 2013]
October 10, 2013 07:00 - 55 minutes - 116 MB VideoWouldn't it be great if your browser anticipated what you wanted before you asked for it? Web pages could arrive before you finished typing the URL. Science fiction? Not at all. This talk uncovers several techniques available to browsers and web developers today to move us closer to an instantaneous web experience. Preresolve, prefetch, prerender, preload, and other predictors: What do they all mean? Which browsers support them? How do web developers take advantage of them, and make sure not ...
Eric Eggert | The future of the web [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]
October 09, 2013 22:43 - 11 minutes VideoWhere is the web heading? What will we as frontend developers do in a few years? Will Google, Apple or the NSA win? More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2013/jam-session/the-future-of-the-web
Roman Komarov | Don’t look into the source [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]
October 09, 2013 22:22 - 7 minutes VideoAt the 2012 Jam Session Roman showed and tried to explain how to animate pseudo-elements. This time he showed five demos of things you thought are not possible in CSS, but he didn't tell you how he did them. Instead, he tried to motivate you not to look into the sources of all the cool demos you happen to see in the internets, to skip the explanations and step-to-step tutorials in favour of your own exploration and experimentation.

Robert Haritonov | Source — Front-end documentation engine [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]

Max Shirshin | Semantic JavaScript: Beyond Frameworks, Beyond DOM [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]
October 09, 2013 21:48 - 11 minutes VideoAfter years of web technologies evolving, we finally have the power to move beyond individual frameworks. Tools become less relevant, and methodologies prevail. Bridge JavaScript with other web techs and operate on unified terms regardless of tools you use. Nowadays, methodologies like BEM or Web Components bring semantics back and make it a first-class citizen, while underlying DOM-based structures are just the "byte code" for the browser to operate on. Max discussed ways to uplift your code...
Arjan Eising | Science: it works, bitches [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]

Varya Stepanova | divide @ impera : Developing not web pages but interface components [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]
October 09, 2013 21:12 - 9 minutes VideoIn 2012 she presented BEM as a way to modularize the development of pages. By breaking things into Blocks, being able to break those into Elements, and then use Modifiers on them, we get a neat TLA and a methodology where each part can advance rapidly and independently, instead of having to get the CSS done, and then have everyone wait for the Javascript guy, only to have the project return to the HTML guy and have to run through the whole development cycle again. This time Varya was showing ...
Jan van Hellemond | Talking HEADs [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]
October 09, 2013 20:52 - 10 minutes VideoFront-end web development is about HTML, CSS and JavaScript, right? Wrong! It's about HTML, CSS and JavaScript and HTTP. You might think that the protocol that has been serving us and our pages since the early nineties is showing its age, but I still has some surprises in store for us developers. This talk was about the path from browser to server and back, and the distractions and attractions along the way. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2013/jam-session/talking-heads
Mathias Bynens | Metaprogramming [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]

Sebastian Golasch | DalekJS - Shifting to the frontlines of UI testing [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]
October 09, 2013 20:28 - 10 minutes VideoTesting webpages is the inglorious bastard of our time. After we tamed this beast called 'Unit testing' it is now time to shift our frontlines to another topic. This times its all about your UI. And no, we did not going to penetrate our old enemy Selenium, no we were not fighting in the ruby-ish fields of Watir, no my friends, this time it was JavaScripts move to exterminate your bugs once and for all.

Paul Verbeek | Developing developers [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]
October 09, 2013 20:16 - 8 minutes VideoOne of our bigger problems at the moment is finding good developers. But instead of finding the best of the best, we should find the motivated and make them the best. How can you be a great coach, and help new developers trancend even your own skills?

Steve Souders | The Perception of Speed [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]
October 09, 2013 19:56 - 15 minutes VideoWhen does slow actually feel fast? And vice versa? Steve provided examples from the Web and the real world that show it's not all about metrics - sometimes altering the user's perception of speed is the best path to a better user experience.

Wilfred Nas | Javascript is evil [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]
October 09, 2013 19:32 - 9 minutes VideoJavascript has become the most popular language of the world. Unfortunately, we rely on it too much and forget that we write for an open and accessible web. Building single page apps without a proper fall back isn't helping our users. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2013/jam-session/javascript-is-evil
Wes Oudshoorn | Blowing off steam [Fronteers 2013 Jam Session]

[NL] Jan van Hellemond | SVG for responsive HTML5 [Bijeenkomst bij eBuddy]
May 30, 2013 17:30 - 1 hour VideoResponsive Web Design wordt dé zomertrend van 2013. Internetgebruik op kleine schermen groeit enorm. En het aantal pixels per vierkante centimeter neemt razendsnel toe. Het wordt steeds moeilijker om al die pixels op al die formaten te vullen met de traditionele bestandsformaten GIF, JPEG en PNG. Vectoren hebben geen last van pixels. Met mathematische precisie schalen ze moeiteloos op en neer voor een strakke presentatie op elke formaat scherm, retina of niet.

[NL] Wouter Dammers | Open source in de praktijk [Bijeenkomst bij ICTRecht]
February 18, 2013 19:45 - 42 minutes VideoOpen source software is gratis maar dat wil niet zeggen dat je er alles mee mag doen. De licenties achter OSS stellen regels, waar je je toch echt aan moet houden. Wat die regels in de praktijk betekenen, is altijd goed voor discussie. Moet je je eigen applicatie vrijgeven als je OSS inzet? Moet de broncode van een webapplicatie dan online aangeboden worden? En wat voor gevaar vormen softwarepatenten voor open source? ICT-jurist Wouter Dammers behandelt de meest voorkomende licenties en hun e...
[NL] Arnoud Engelfriet | De cookiewet: wat een gedoe [Bijeenkomst bij ICTRecht]
February 18, 2013 18:30 - 1 hour VideoSinds 5 juni 2012 is de cookiewet van kracht. Het is niet meer toegestaan om cookies te plaatsen of browserinstellingen uit te lezen, tenzij er toestemming is van de eindgebruiker. Deze regels zijn streng. En wie cookies gebruikt om profielen te maken, heeft ook nog eens te maken met de strenge privaywet. ICT-jurist Arnoud Engelfriet vertelt over wat er nog wel en niet mag, hoe je kunt voldoen aan de wet en of deze wet ooit nog gaat verdwijnen. Meer info op: https://fronteers.nl/bijeenkomsten...

Alex Russell | The Web Platform and The Process of Progress [Fronteers 2012]
October 05, 2012 14:50 - 49 minutes - 122 MB VideoProgress is a process, and like most man-made processes progress can be sped up and slowed down. As the victims and beneficiaries of progress in the browser space, it pays to understand not just what's holding us back, but what could be helping us move forward faster as well. This talk examines the feedback loops that create and hinder progress, why that process will never be pretty, and why now is perhaps the best time ever to be a web developer.

Rebecca Murphey | JS Minty Fresh: Identifying and Eliminating Smells in Your Code Base [Fronteers 2012]
October 05, 2012 14:00 - 41 minutes - 86 MB VideoMaybe you've inherited some smelly code, or maybe you've written some yourself, rushing to get a feature out the door knowing that you're leaving yourself a mess to clean up later. No matter how you end up with smelly code, eliminating smells is an important step toward making code easier to work with -- for you and your fellow developers -- reducing opportunities for introducing bugs, and making your code easier to test. Heck, it can even help you get a new job. More info at: https://frontee...
Peter Nederlof | Beyond simple transitions, with a pinch of JavaScript [Fronteers 2012]
October 05, 2012 12:40 - 45 minutes - 112 MB VideoFor years front-end developers had to rely on custom Javascript tools and libraries to create animations we can now accomplish with a simple CSS transition. Transions however still have their limits, especially so when it comes to live interaction by users. In this session Peter shows how to step beyond some of these limits, and the benefits from doing so.

Phil Hawksworth | I can smell your CMS [Fronteers 2012]
October 05, 2012 11:50 - 48 minutes - 126 MB VideoThe word is getting out. Great web site experiences require careful development and crafty execution in the front end. Squeezing every drop of performance out of your user's browser is tough, but Steve Souders and friends have mobilized an army, and we are all having a bloody good go. But there is a common threat to doing great work in the front-end. It lurks in the back-end and clients love it. It's the content management system, and more often than not, it stinks.

Anne van Kesteren | Building the web platform [Fronteers 2012]
October 05, 2012 10:00 - 56 minutes - 141 MB VideoA mix of innovation, collaboration through standards, reverse engineering, content studies, and fussy politics, has created the somewhat messy yet beautiful platform we have today. It enables us to publish anything from a simple document to a complex application. This talk will dive into some of the low-level details of that platform as well as explain those fussy politics.
