##JSFoo 2018 will be held on 26 and 27 October 2018.
##About the conference:
JSFoo is HasGeek’s annual JavaScript conference. JSFoo is in its eighth edition this year.
The 2018 edition is single-track event with talks in auditorium 1 at the NIMHANS Convention Centre, and Birds of Feather (BOF) sessions in the hallway. Meta Refresh -- with talks on usability, user experience, design and UI engineering will be held in auditorium 2 at the NIMHANS Convention Centre.
##Theme: JavaScript and Security
Core talks, held in the mornings, at JSFoo 2018 will be based on the theme “JavaScript and Security”. Under this theme, we will cover the following topics:
Besides the main theme, JSFoo will cover the following topics:
We are inviting proposals:
Proposals will be filtered and shortlisted by an Editorial Panel.
** Make sure to add links to videos / slide decks when submitting proposals. We will not review proposals without detailed outlines or slide decks and preview videos.**
The first filter for every proposal is whether the technology or solution you are referring to is open source or not. If you are referring to a proprietary technology, consider picking up a sponsored session.
The criteria for selecting proposals, in the order of importance, are:
No one submits the perfect proposal in the first instance. We therefore encourage you to:
Our editorial team also helps potential speakers in refining their talk ideas, and rehearsing at least twice - before the main conference - to sharpen the insights presented in the talk.
##Passes and honorarium for speakers:
We pay an honorarium of Rs. 3,000 to each speaker and workshop instructor at the end of their talk/workshop. Confirmed speakers and instructors also get a pass to the conference and networking dinner. We do not provide free passes for speakers’ colleagues and spouses.
##Travel grants for outstation speakers:
Travel grants are available for international speakers who have led/worked on projects that have large-scale adoption. Travel grants are available for domestic speakers (without the criteria mentioned for international speakers).
We evaluate each travel grant application on its merits, giving preference to women, people of non-binary gender, and Africans. If you require a grant, request it when you submit your proposal in the field where you add your location. JSFoo is funded through ticket purchases and sponsorships; travel grant budgets vary.
##Important dates:
JSFoo + Meta Refresh: 26 and 27 October, at the NIMHANS Convention Centre.

The most popular web programming ecosystems revolve around JavaScript. JavaScript was invented as a programming language for web browsers with basic aims — to enable simple interactions within a web page. It has evolved to become the standard programming language to write web applications of all complexities.
Along with the design peculiarities inherent to the language, the need to fill the gaps for developing more and more complex applications has led to various styles of architecting a JavaScript application.
This talk is a comprehensive analysis of functional programming languages as alternatives to JavaScript for writing production ready web applications. With a focus on the architectural patterns of Elm and ClojureScript, it discusses the current state of ecosystem (tools, developer experience, packages, etc) built around these languages.
The key takeaways for the audience would be
The audience can be a group of beginner to advanced level web developers.
⭐️This talk has been organised keeping the following points in mind.
⭐️Here’s a mental map of the talk.

I’m a Frontend Engineer, working on JavaScript applications for more than 7 years. I’m currently working with Helpshift on an embeddable conversational app for customer support.
I’ve had experience in functional programming from my time at Amazon, and here at Helpshift, we are big on Clojure. I’ve been exploring functional style of writing frontend applications for the last couple of years, focussing on JavaScript functional constructs and libraries, Elm, and ClojureScript. I earlier spoke at JSFoo 2016 on immutable data structures and how to use them in JavaScript applications.
