##Meta Refresh 2015 edition: The web in your pocket
##Theme
We’re already in a world where smartphones outnumber all the desktops and laptops put together. A sizeable portion of your existing user base could be accessing your website only through a handheld device. It is quite likely that future web users will never experience a site on a large screen.
Undeniably mobiles, be it phones or tablets, have become a critical channel for user acquisition and customer engagement. In fact, one can argue that mobiles are already the primary touch-point for reaching and experiencing the web in many cases.
For many web designers and developers, however, the constraints of a mobile device continue to be a beast — small screen, low resources, fickle networks and the (often false) assumption that the user is always on the move with limited time at hand.
Responsive design hasn’t been enough. Mobile-first was just a start. It takes a lot more to tame the beast and to create a great browsing experience for a mobile user.
Meta Refresh 2015 will focus on enhancing web experience on mobile devices.
And oh, if you disagree with the theme, we’d like to hear about that as well.
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.
The 2015 edition is a two-day single-track conference – 16 and 17 April. We invite proposals for:
You must be a practising web developer or designer, and must be able to show how your own work has advanced the state of the web in the past year. You are expected to present original work that your peers — this event’s audience — recognise as being notable enough to deserve a stage.
If you are excited about someone’s work and believe it deserves wider recognition, we recommend you contact them and ask them to submit a proposal.
##Workshop proposals
If you are interested in teaching, sharing knowledge with the community and/or conducting professional trainings on CSS, front-end engineering and design, submit a proposal under workshop section. Specify past experience in teaching and conducting workshops. Even better if you share links to videos of workshops where you were an instructor.
We’ll host workshops starting October 2014 until April 2015.

This is the story of a four people UI team at Ideadevice moving from a fairly complicated traditional MVC app using YUI to react and flux, the lessons learned, the joys and pains of it. The results are fairly positive and we are excited to share the experience with a wider community.
One of the most striking facts about Flux is that unlike react, it is a specification rather than a implementation. Multiple implementations of the idea exist and they all differ in some way or the other, leading to much confusion and newcomers tend to get lost in all the details. This talk aims to clarify things a bit and help people understand the ideas.
Talk will mostly concentrate on the original Flux architecture. This is not a react talk and we will only cover the minimum bits of it required to understand the concepts presented. Prior experience wont be necessary. Structuring large complex applications and testing will also be taken seriously.
Individual components of the architecture like the dispatcher and stores will be analyzed in detail and how we implemented each of them with minimum 3rd party libraries.
Eventually we would walk through a simple app, show how the data flows through and how actions propagate.
You need to get the joke references ;)
Prior knowledge with Flux will obviously help. An open mind to learn and unlearn things.
I’m Jaseem Abid, currently hacking both UI and backend at Ideadevice. I’ve been fiddling with JS for around 4 years and have done the same old story of jQuery to Backbone to every other MVC framework out there. Codes JS and Python for a living. Haskell for everything else.
