##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.

Hi! I’m the author of js2coffee, a JavaScript to CoffeeScript compiler, among many other JS projects. I had a lot of fun writing a JavaScript compiler (or “transpiler” to be more specific), I learned a lot, and would love to share the story of building it at JSFoo.
What is a compiler?
A short recap on the components of a compiler today explaining tokenizers, parsers, and generators.
About the JS AST
Let’s look at a brief history touching Mozilla’s Narcissus project, as well as the emergence of the estree spec used today by Esprima, Babel, Acorn, and many other tools.
JavaScript transpiling
I’ll explain the first iteration of js2coffee, the problems that plagued it, and how it was solved by Babel, Traceur, and js2coffee 2.0.
The future
Given the emergence of new developments like estree and es6, I’ll share my thoughts on what this means for the future of JavaScript.
An open mind
Rico Sta. Cruz is the web developer/designer behind many popular open source JavaScript libraries in use today. He is one of the top contributors at GitHub, host of JSConf Asia 2013, and the head organizer of the Philippine JavaScript community Manila.js.
