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

JavaScript VM internals, EventLoop, Async and ScopeChains

Submitted Jul 29, 2015

After this talk someone should be able to understand and reason about the JS runtime, eventloop, memory allocations for functions, scope chains, closures and async programming in JavaScript.

Outline

The goal of this talk would be to provide a good understanding of the following,

  • A crisp understanding of the JavaScript VM and how a single threaded engine can be massively parallel.
  • How event loop and callbacks works, example of blocking and non-blocking codes, ES6 generators for custom Async signaling.
  • How function definitions happen and invocations happen, how scope chains are formed, what closures are and how to reason about them.
  • Async programming, how reactive programming works at the bottom level, how event listeners registers themselves and then deregisters.
