- Tooling and frameworks: use cases and trends.
- Engineering and business concerns for JS in enterprises.
- New developments for front-end engineering in enterprises.
- JSFoo Pro:
- Deep dive talks on measuring web performance and tuning.
- Deep dive talks on web performance APIs.
- Maintaining web performance over time, not only to make things fast, but also ‘keep’ things fast.
- Advanced PWA and/or service worker implementations, including push notifications, background sync.
- Deep dive talks on the state of CSS in JS and comparison of available choices.
- Advanced rendering, animations and keeping applications running at 60fps.

- Submit your proposal early for feedback and review.
JSFoo’s policy is one speaker per 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 a discount code which they can share with their colleagues, communities they are part of, and on social media channels. We do not provide free passes for speakers’ colleagues and spouses. Please do not ask us for this.
Travel grants for outstation speakers:
Travel grants are available for international and domestic speakers. We evaluate each case on its merits, giving preference to women, people of non-binary gender, and Africans.

Rajasegar Chandiran Back to the Future with ESMThe Web today is a convoluted mess of Javascript. Long back we had the ability to view the source of JS in our browsers which was simple, concise and clear thus helping in faster development iterations. But today with the advent of rich user interfaces, client side rendering of dynamic content, single-page applications and along with transpiling, bundling and compressing of JS made it difficult t… more

Varun Dey Memory leaks in front-end JavaScriptJavaScript ecosystem has exploded in a short span of time. Libraries has made it so much easier for developers to scaffold a whole web app and extend their app on top of it. JavaScript’s dynamic nature has also given developers a lot of leeway to not care about memory leaks and quickly build a scalable app. But is the app really scalable if it has multiple leaks spread across the codebase? Should… more
