September 26, 2017 at 10:18FrontFest ❄️ From Siberia with love
We have in Siberia IT tradition - to hold a conference Soul Plane CodeFest . Every year we gather full halls, testing the site’s capabilities. Every year we close the registration ahead of time, and only this year for the first time not only closed the registration, but even tried to return the money to a couple of dozens of participants so that they would not come. But they came, and the Expocenter burst .
Every year we are asked when we will pull ourselves together and deliver traditional Siberian warmth to Moscow. And only this year we first decided to do it. No, CodeFest remains in the familiar climate, and we go to Moscow as a front-end.
From thoughts to action: November 18, we are hosting the FrontFest front-end conferencein Moscow. 30 reports in three streams, apartment blocks (a special format for the discussion panel) and workshops.
§ About love and principles
The main principle of CodeFest is to make it sincere, cozy and useful to everyone. With love and respect to the participants and speakers.
The interests of the participants
come first, therefore: 1. We update the composition of the speakers by 100% every year. With rare exceptions, when the participants themselves ask again.
2. We do not have advertising and "partner" reports.
3. We do not have fees for speakers - all speakers speak out of love.
4. We keep the cost of participation as low as possible so that it is available to almost all potential participants.
We help the speakers to get ready - we make the speaker’s performance coincide with the participants' expectations. We arrange runs, talk about the audience, conduct surveys of participants to test hypotheses and, if necessary, conduct a course for a young speaker. More revelations and intrigues in the text about the inner kitchen of the program committee.
And of course, we do FrontFest on exactly the same principles.
§ About the program
In total, the program will have 5 streams: 3 with reports, workshops and apartment owners.
We decided to devote three streams with reports to the development of the client part of web applications:
VYORSTKA - about layout in the broad sense;
JS - about JavaScript and any its derivatives;
MIX - about everything important that does not fit into previous streams: setting up the webpack, front-end performance, graphics optimization, VR / AR on the web.
Add here the lodgers (our proprietary format of discussions) and the stream with workshops for all comers - you get more than 40 presentations.
And a few teasers:
Blaine Cook (Condé Nast) - the person who created OAuth and stood at the origins of the social network Twitter - will talk about network security issues and how the front-end provider can move to a more secure and convenient Internet.
Leonie Watson (The Paciello Group) will talk about how, in the era of widespread use of JS frameworks, do not slip into divs and spans, but make your site accessible to people with disabilities.
Kirill Chernyshov (Red Pineapple Media) will tell about his experience in Aviasales: how to get ClojureScript on production and how all this can not take off.
Jose M. Perez (Spotify) will share techniques for loading images on the client - placeholders, dominant colors, blurring images and lazy loading.
Lyza Danger Gardner (Independent) will show what you can do with JavaScript outside of browsers and servers (without Arduino).
By the way, here's a video invitation from Lisa
Mathieu “p01” Henri (Microsoft) will hold a workshop where he will show how to create a Shooting Arena in JavaScript from scratch.
Vladislav Kozulya will hold a holivar-battle as part of the apartment building on the theme “Frontender is not a man”
See other worthy speakers on the site . The program is 90% ready (there were apartment owners and workshops).
I also want to introduce you to the program committee - Roma Prudnikov, Dima Dekhanov, Oleg Kalyanov. These seniors are front-end developers at 2GIS and curators of the front-end section at CodeFest.
