8.30-16.30
TDD your Javascript
As the world moves to rich clients on the web, it is easy to treat javascript as "just a quick scripting language." But the language of the web deserves the same respect as any other application-development language. And this means that we should not just write tests, but should also harness the power of test-driven development.

He recently co-founded a new software studio called Test Double, where he’s currently helping clients build well-crafted user experiences for the web.
Wednesday
10.00-10.50
Asynchronous User Interfaces - the future of Web UIs
Asynchronous UIs are a complete revolution in the way programmers are creating interfaces for the web, with an emphasis on speed and client-side state.
This talk will take you through all the steps needed to implement an asynchronous UI, from serving up JSON to rendering everything client side with frameworks like Backbone and Spine.

Hypermedia and ASP.NET Web API, where do you want to go today?
Building hypermedia systems these days is all the rage. Those who achieve building hypermedia systems are promised fame, success and mountains of riches. OK that’s not true! But hypermedia does help you to build systems where the client and server can evolve somewhat independently, and that is a big deal. Come this talk and we’ll deep dive into exactly what hypermedia is and different ways to achieve building hypermedia driven systems with ASP.NET Web API.

Testing Online Crazy Glue: Strategies for building testable PHP applications
PHP won the early battles for the web because it is online crazy glue. Testing applications written in PHP can be challenging without some guidance as there is lots of info on how to use testing tools but very little info on how to build your application in such a way that it can be easily tested.
This talk will cover strategies that can be used to shape your application in such a way that you'll be making production pushes multiple times a day with complete confidence.

Building Real-Time Web Applications with ASP.NET SignalR
WebSockets is introducing web developers to a whole new world of real-time programming but that isn't the end of the story. SignalR gives ASP.NET developers the ability to build real-time web apps that work both with and without websockets and with an API so easy to use it almost seems like magic (really). You want scale too? No problem; SignalR scales out with your application. Come and see why web programming will never be the same again.

Designing Hypermedia APIs
Ruby on Rails did a lot to bring REST to developers, but its conception leaves the REST devotee feeling a bit empty. "Where's the hypermedia?" she says. "REST isn't RPC," he may cry. In this talk, Steve will explain how to design your APIs so that they truly embrace the web and HTTP. Pros and cons of this approach will be discussed, as well as why many aren't building things this way yet.

The Rebels Come Out Online - What if the Internet is something much bigger than we think?
"What if the Internet is something much bigger than we think?"
Alexander Bard is one of the world's leading internet social theorists and the author of "The Futurica Trilogy" together with Jan Söderqvist. In this speech he will elaborate on the fact that out of all the codes and other digital information we stuff our machines with, something much more profound, something sentient, is emerging. The internet controls us, and possesses opur imagination and worldview, rather than the other way round.
Alexander Bard
Having made a habit of lecturing dressed in haute couture shorts and an impressive fin de siècle beard, scribbling his notes on huge whiteboards rather than parading just another predictable power-point presentation, the larger-than-life Alexander Bard's simultaneously entertaining and earth-shattering lectures have consistently topped the ratings at major business and management conferences around the world. And as any good speaker does, Bard takes pride in practicing the message he preaches.

10.00-10.50
Go: a simple programming environment
Go is a general-purpose language that bridges the gap between efficient statically typed languages and productive dynamic language. But it’s not just the language that makes Go special – Go has broad and consistent standard libraries and powerful but simple tools.
This talk gives an introduction to Go, followed by a tour of some real programs that demonstrate the power, scope, and simplicity of the Go programming environment.
Andrew Gerrand
Andrew Gerrand works on the Go Programming Language at Google Sydney. He has written dozens of articles about Go, and given many talks and workshops at conferences around the world. He is the co-author of A Tour of Go (http://tour.golang.org/), and is the fourth most prolific contributor to the Go project. He is passionate about software quality, and believes Go is a unique tool for building reliable software at scale. Before Google, Andrew wrote software for startups and Internet providers.
11.10-12.00
Go: code that grows with grace
One of Go's key design goals is code adaptability; that it should be easy to take a simple design and build upon it in a clean and natural way. In this talk I describe a simple "chat roulette" server that matches pairs of incoming TCP connections, and then use Go's concurrency mechanisms, interfaces, and standard library to extend it with a web interface and other features. While the function of the program changes dramatically, Go's flexibility preserves the original design as it grows.
