Commitment to Open Source
HasGeek believes in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like it to be available under a permissive open source license. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licenses (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognize that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support us in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a sponsored session.
Workshops
If you are interested in conducting a hands-on session on any of the topics falling under the themes described above, please submit a proposal under the workshops section. We also need you to tell us about your past experience in teaching and/or conducting workshops.
BOF sessions
If you are interested in doing an unconference during the breakout sessions, propose a topic which will be of interest to the community.
Important dates:
Deadline for submitting proposals: 31 July 2015
Conference dates: 18-19 September
Workshops: 15, 16, 17 and 20 September

Building High Performance Isomorphic Web Applications
Submitted Jun 30, 2015
Section:
Full talk
Technical level:
Advanced
This talk will equip web app developers (both front and back end) to understand and build Isomorphic web apps, appreciate its philosophy, understand its caveats and be able to select the right tools for the task.
Outline
What do Airbnb and Facebook have in common? Server rendered rich client apps, or isomorphic web applications.
Server side rendering has been bread and butter for web apps since years. On the other hand client side apps promise a lot of goodies. Both come with their advantages and drawbacks. Consider SPAs, they are not as performant as pure server side apps because the rendering part is mostly handled by the client. They fail to render anything in a non JS environment such as for search bots, as a result of which SEO becomes a very tricky problem. On the other hand, traditional web apps lack a seamless experience as every action results in a page refresh.
Building a rich web application today demands that we use the best of both worlds. This talk will highlight how to approach Isomorphism in the apps you’d be building. Here is an outline of the talk -
- Drawbacks of pure server and pure client apps
- Progressive enhancement of UI
- Sharing application state between client and server and possible caveats
- Rendering on both server and client and comparison of available frameworks - React, ng2-Universal, libraries for custom solutions
- Shared application logic for client and server and tooling required for the same - Yay Javascript!
This will be followed by a demonstration of components of an Isomorphic app built in React and Express.
Requirements
A basic understanding of web application frameworks and love for separation of concerns. Understanding of React and ExpressJS will certainly help.
