##About JSFoo
JSFoo is India’s premier JavaScript conference. We launched JSFoo in 2011 as India’s first JavaScript conference. The JS community in India has grown phenomenally since. JavaScript now pervades every aspect of web development – browsers, apps, front-end, backend, mobile, and IoT.
##JSFoo 2016: Theme
Over the last few years, JavaScript has evolved to become the centerpiece of a complex web stack. Today, it is a prime subject of the obsession that lies with performance and speed. How can you get pages to load faster? How do you work with browser constraints to enhance speed? How do you measure performance? What actually is performance? In what ways do faster response times influence your architecture choices and plans? How is this new focus on faster page loads and apps working offline influencing the development of front-ends and backends as well as server side JS?
The theme for the 2016 edition is tackling speed and performance for JavaScript.
We are inviting full talks (40 mins), crisp talks (15 mins + 5 mins Q&A), and 3-6 hour long (hands-on) workshops from practitioners on the overall theme of speed and performance, including the following topics:
This year, JSFoo will feature two days of talks on JavaScript (15-16 September) and a single day of talks on design (17 September) at Meta Refresh (call for proposals will open shortly).
Every proposal MUST be accompanied by:
Without the above information, your proposal will not be considered for review.
If you are submitting a Workshop Proposal, you must clearly state:
There is only one speaker per session. Workshops can have two or more instructors.
Entry is free for selected speakers.
Due to budgetary constraints, we prefer speakers closer to home. But if we think you stand out, we’ll provide a grant to cover part of your travel and accommodation to Bangalore. Grants are limited and are made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes or longer) only.
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 for it to be available under a permissive open source licence. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licences (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognise 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.
Deadline for submitting proposals: 29 August 2015
Conference dates: 15-16 September
##Venue
JSFoo will be held at the MLR Convention Centre, J P Nagar.

With the popularity of the latest ECMAScript standard and before that CoffeeSript, JS compilers are everywhere. JS projects are now using them in one way or another, most for source to source compiling, many for code coverage etc. Babel being the most popular compiler. Apart from its native features, it also allows us to extend the language by developing custom Babel plugins. We will discuss the development of custom Babel plugins. However in this talk, we will go a step further and learn about Abstract Syntax Tree. Use that knowledge to put together our own compiler. This compiler will allow us to transform or compile JS to anything. The project will be a super tiny compiler. It will be easily extensible and opensource. By the end of the talk, an attendee should be able to use it as a boilerplate and build their own version.
I am a developer who loves working with JavaScript. My current full-time work is with Fybr (fybr-tech.com) as an Applications Engineer. The role consists of setting up JS build systems, maintaining repositories and developing JS applications.
I have been contributing to open source communities since 2010 (KDE and X.Org being the main ones). I am one of the authors of the official KDE Developer’s Guide book (https://flossmanuals.net/kde-guide/).
PULUG (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pulug) is an open student developers’ community which I helped establish and now also hosts the annual SFD in Chandigarh where I mostly speak. (http://softwarefreedomday.in/)
