Last month was Halfstack London, a conference about the web, JavaScript and half a dozen other things. We were there to deliver a talk, but also to record all the sessions and we're happy to share them with you. It took a bit as we had to wait for the slide decks to be inter-cut with the videos as our rig was really just a phone on a tripod with an external mic. Over the next few days we will also be releasing more detailed posts about each of the sessions, but we thought it'd be great to have them all before the holidays start. So, here we are.
Ramona Schwering takes us on a journey into automated tests and how they relate to Web security:
Nico Martin explains how to use AI in the browser and on-device instead of trusting the cloud.
Jo Franchetti helps us get started with Deno in production.
Niels Leenheer talked about the resilience of the World Wide Web.
Chris Heilmann talked about how developer roles are changing. Also check out the accompanying article on the fate of junior developers in an AI world.
Rowdy Rabouw brought the noise by showing is how to code music in JavaScript.
Leo Riviera took us along on his journey to become a maker.
Rachel Nabors explained that working in the tech industry is all about relationships and how to navigate them.
Jonathan Fielding shared what he learned from mistakes he made in his side projects:
Ana Rodrigues built a browser based Karaoke game with the Web Speech API (Halfstack famously always descends into Karaoke, but this one is less grating to watch, promised):
Tiger Oakes and Daphne Oakes host murder mystery parties powered by JavaScript, and, no, it is not "What is this"
Carly Richmond explained image classification with Tensorflow.js and told us that the cake is a lie. We also took these learnings to write a longer article on how machine learning can help tell fact from fiction.
And that's the lot for this time around. Stay tuned for in-detail posts about each of these videos coming on the magazine soon.
