JSFoo 2015

The future of JavaScript

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:

  • Advances in browser JavaScript
  • JavaScript in hardware
  • Functional JavaScript
  • Cutting edge developments, including original work
  • ES6

Editorial panel

  • Santosh Rajan, founder Geekskool
  • Shwetank Dixit, Extensions Program Manager and Web Evangelist, Opera Software
  • Sindhu S, Recurse Center alumni
  • Zainab Bawa, editorial coordinator, co-founder at HasGeek

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

Memory Leaks in JavaScript

Submitted Jul 31, 2015

If you read this title and thought, “Meh, I’m a beginner and don’t write complex code to worry about that”, or “My framework must be taking care of that right?”, or “Huh? Whats all that about dude?”, this session is just for you.

Outline

I’d like to talk to you about what memory leaks are, how they occur, how to detect and fix them and most importantly, why you should care. This in turn requires an idea of some inner workings of JavaScript, the role of the enviroment and some real world occurances and preventions of leaks.

With JavaScript becoming ever so prominent, it’d be fun to get to know the common caveats, understand what happens under the hood a little better and get through enough of the basics so those who care about good code can take this forward by themselves.

Requirements

Basic JavaScript knowledge
Some attention
Lots of enthusiasm
A couple of doubts

Speaker bio

Freelancer. Ex startup guy. Front end engineer. Tech dabbler. Liking JS more by the day. Clean UI lover. Metal enthusiast. Always trying to avoid staying in his comfort zone.
