WebAssembly is a browser feature designed to bring predictable high performance to web applications, but its capabilities are often misunderstood. This talk will explore how WebAssembly is different from JavaScript, from the point of view of both the developer and the browser engine, with a particular focus on the V8/Chrome implementation. <a href="https://webvm.io/">WebVM</a> is our solution to efficiently run unmodified x86 binaries in the browser and showcases what can be done with WebAssembly today. A high level overview of the project components, including the JIT engine, the Linux emulation layer and the storage backend will be discussed, followed by live demos.

Discover how to embrace machine learning in JavaScript using TensorFlow.js in the browser and beyond in this speedy talk. Get inspired through a whole bunch of creative prototypes that push the boundaries of what is possible in the modern web browser (things have come a long way) and then take your own first steps with machine learning in minutes. By the end of the talk everyone will understand how to recognize an object of their choice which could then be used in any creative way you can imagine. Familiarity with JavaScript is assumed, but no background in machine learning is required. Come take your first steps with TensorFlow.js!

Neurotechnology is the use of technological tools to understand more about the brain and enable a direct connection with the nervous system. Research in this space is not new, however, its accessibility to JavaScript developers is.Over the past few years, brain sensors have become available to the public, with tooling that makes it possible for web developers to experiment building brain-controlled interfaces.As this technology is evolving and unlocking new opportunities, let's look into one of the latest devices available, how it works, the possibilities it opens up, and how to get started building your first mind-controlled app using JavaScript.

Skin cancer is a serious problem worldwide but luckily treatment in the early stage can lead to recovery. JavaScript together with a machine learning model can help Medical Doctors increase the accuracy in melanoma detection. During the presentation, we show how to use Tensorflow.js, Keras and React Native to build a solution that can recognize skin moles and detect if they are a melanoma or a benign mole. We also show issues that we have faced during development. As a summary, we present the pros and cons of JavaScript used for machine learning projects.

JavaScript Beats Cancer

Operational System allows controlling different devices using Human Interface Device protocol for a long time. With WebHID API you can do the same right from the browser. Let’s talk about the protocol features and limitations. We’ll try to connect some devices to the laptop and control them with JavaScript.

Anyone can learn quantum computing! Join Stewart Smith as he describes his open-source passion project, Q.js. What exactly is a quantum computer? What's it good for? And how does Quantum JavaScript fit in? While this talk is for anyone curious about quantum computing, it will resonate particularly with coders, high school algebra survivors, and music nerds.

Software Programming is naturally fun but making something physical, to interact with the world that you live in, is like magic. Is even funnier when you can reuse your knowledge and JavaScript to do it. This talk will present real use cases of automating a house using JavaScript, Instead of using C++ as usual, and Espruino as dev tools and Microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP8266, RaspberryPI, and NodeRed to control lights, doors, lockers, and much more.

In this talk I will show Makepad, a new UI stack that uses Rust, Wasm, and WebGL. Unlike other UI stacks, which use a hybrid approach, all rendering in Makepad takes place on the GPU. This allows for highly polished and visually impressive applications that have not been possible on the web so far. Because Makepad uses Rust, applications run both natively and on the Web via wasm. Makepad applications can be very small, on the order of just a few hundred kilobytes for wasm, to a few megabytes with native. Our goal is to develop Makepad into the UI stack of choice for lightweight and performant cross-platform applications. We intend to ship with our own design application and IDE.

JS awsomeness beyond webpages. First we'll write a cool 2D game (in Javascript) - and then - write AI code (in Javascript!) that will be able to win this game for us. Oh, what a time to be alive! <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>
