JSFoo is India’s premier JavaScript conference. This year is the fifth edition.
The theme for the 2015 edition is the future of JavaScript.
We are looking for talks and workshops from academics and practitioners who are at the cutting edge of developments in JavaScript.
We want to hear all about:
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.
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.
If you are interested in doing an unconference during the breakout sessions, propose a topic which will be of interest to the community.
Deadline for submitting proposals: 31 July 2015
Conference dates: 18-19 September
Workshops: 15, 16, 17 and 20 September

To show the possibilities of Javascript beyond web by sharing instances from past work at Kepler Lab (An Innovation Lab at Sapient).
From the beginning, computer applications have always been designed with a two way agreement between humanity & technology - We learn a bit of them & they learn us. For example, if you took the Microsoft Surface table to an old man in a village, would he be able to operate it? Probably not, and neither would we, had we not decided to accept the pseudo natural way of touching, scrolling, etc. It’s time that computers understand our world & we are free to do things more naturally. Picking a cup of tea in our world, should be enough of a cue for the system to be aware of our possible intentions. This is what we strive to achieve.
Natural experiences have been thought of to a great extent on the web. We simply need to answer questions in a new context. For instance:
This is where we start to realize the merits of using web technologies over the traditional core ones. Especially, when web technologies are poised to be as powerful as the later.
Time & again we have heard of the term “Javascript Everywhere” & attributed it to javascript being used as a server side programming language or even databases. But the very fact that javascript could be run outside a browser, opens up possibilities, that were never thought before. So whether it’s a wrapper around openCV for object recognition or a raspberry pi bot, things are simply an npm-install
away.
“A hacker by heart, coder by profession who lives to die in a technology rich world”
Okay, now the robotic response - “Ajay works at the Innovation Lab at Sapient, as an Experience Technologist where he helps create natural experiences (Human Computer Interactions). He is an ardent fan of Javascript and prefers to use it as his first choice of language, wherever possible.”
