Asynchronous and Synchronous JavaScript. There and back again. Maciej Treder, Senior Software Development Engineer Akamai Technologies Callbacks… Callbacks everywhere… Callback inside the callback, and one more inside! Asynchronous JavaScript code is a pain. Event loop is a JavaScript “bigfoot” – everyone heard about it, almost nobody knows how it works… There is multiple ways you […]
Practical uses for Web Components, today! Ben Taylor, Software Developer, Designer and Educator Grok Learning Web Components can feel like a fancy future technology that you will maybe use someday. Especially if you’ve built your entire tech stack around not needing them. Fortunately though, you don’t need to rebuild your app to make use of […]
Improving websites’ security and UX with biometrics scanners Vasyl Boroviak, The Developer FlashFX Developing a highly secure webapp with limited budget used to be a difficult task, but maintaining high grade User Experience of one was even harder.

Compu-mathe-sci-tics Jennifer Wong, Software Engineer Mode Analytics Math. Computer science. Computers were invented to do complicated mathematics. But JavaScript wasn’t. It was created to assemble components and be written directly in web page markup. So how does Math fit into all of this? Well, JavaScript has had a Math object since its inception in 1997. […]
Erin Zimmer, Senior developer Shine Solutions Historically, layout on the web has been quite difficult. Developers have relied on third-party tools, like Bootstrap, and media queries based on “average” device sizes. Today, however, the web is available on an increasingly large range of devices – everything from your watch to your fridge! We are reaching […]

This year we’ve brought together a program of both well established as well as brand new speakers, across a range of technologies […]
If you’re wondering which jobs end up in this list, well, it’s jobs at organisations we likely know well (one way or another). It’s above all because of the people who work there, whom I’ve got to know perhaps as a speaker at one of our events, perhaps as an attendee. My instinct is if […]
The last week or so I’ve spent a lot of time focused on finalising the program for our Code and Code Leaders conferences. Our CFPs closed a couple of weeks back, and there were hundreds of proposals, this is both gratifying, and daunting as it also leads to the inevitable consequence, that some will miss out (many in […]
If you’re keen on speaking at Product (in either the product design or product management track), or Design Leaders, the companion event focussed on design leadership challenges, CFPs close in a couple of weeks.Most of the sessions we select from our CFP are 20 minutes long, and focus on a single topic–it’s just the right amount of time to cover one thing in some […]

Lead User ResearcherDTA The Digital Transformation Agency are looking for a lead user researcher (there are a number of other roles open there as well).As a Lead User Researcher, you will take […]
wherein boomers learn about the renegade If you have younger kids, tweens or younger teenagers, perhaps more so if you have a daughter, you’ll be at least familiar (if not very very familiar) with Tik Tok, a social app which focuses on short form videos that are largely shared algorithmically, and which has predominately become […]

Every morning in my final year at high school one person in the year read out the notes for the day. Being a religious school, this finished by asking some saint or other (I can’t remember if it was a saint whomever was reading the notes chose, or whether this came pre-chosen) to pray for […]

[Web Directions] is a delicious mix of things educational, social and mind-blowing. It’s time out from the hurly-burly to step back, get some perspective, and develop new ways forward, fortified with a whole lot of new stuff in your head.
