##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 workshop gives an overview of unit testing, especially Test Driven Development and also shows that CSS can also be unit tested.
Those who have written unit tests would know how much confidence it gives to the developers and how much it impacts maintainability due to frequent refactoring. And needless to say the faster feedback cycle it gives by following the “Red-Green-Refactoring”.
But for CSS usually the practice is to rely on end to end tools such as Selenium, which are brittle and slow.
It will be a live coding session, based on the Sample setup which uses:
The format of the session will be:
The session is open to anyone who has basic knowledge of CSS, Javascript and Git. If you are struggling to have high confidence about the reliability of every commits that you make to your repository, this session is for you. This session will help you to regain the confidence to push every commit to production.
Leena is the Head of Engineering @ Multunus. She was bitten by the TDD bug a couple of years ago. Having done enough TDD in Ruby/Rails, Javascript and Android, she’s moved onto Continuous Delivery (CD) in a big way - even spoke about CD at DroidCon India 2011 and AgileIndia 2012. During the last couple of years, she had conducted workshops on TDD and CD during JSFoo, DroidCon and RootConf.
