Front End Development - Beyond Javascript (Robin Cannon)Future Insights
Session slides from Future Insights Live, Vegas 2015:
https://futureinsightslive.com/las-vegas-2015/
Front-End Development is more than just a Javascript layer. Just because everything is single page apps and you’ve got Bootstrap to back up your Backbone, Ember or Angular, doesn’t mean you’re truly developing a presentation layer. Something that’s a truly great interface between the user and the back end requires the three pillars of front end web; javascript sure, but HTML and CSS are vital too. In this talk Robin redefines what it means to be a front-end developer, and explores frameworks that will help us to build things that users love. He'll cover the de-emphasis of HTML and CSS versus Javascript skills in front end web development, and the benefits of a broader approach that's only going to increase in importance as the Javascript MVC model matures.
Basics of Front End Web Dev PowerPointSahil Gandhi
Here are some tips for hands-on part 2:
- Add a class like .paragraph to the <p> tags containing your sentences
- Add an ID like #image to the <img> tag
- In an internal or external CSS file:
.paragraph {
color: blue;
font-size: 20px;
}
#image {
padding: 10px;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
- For background:
body {
background-color: lightgray;
}
- Play around with other CSS properties like text-align, font-family etc.
A modern front end development workflow for Magnolia at AtlassianMagnolia
This talk was given by Nicolas Barbé, Magnolia, and William Paoli, Atlassian, at Magnolia Conference 2015 in Foster City, California.
The recommended development process for Magnolia is based on a Java stack and its ecosystem. It provides the best foundations to customize the back-end or create new content applications. However, implementing a new template or modifying an existing theme with standard front-end practices can be a challenging task.
In this talk, William and Nicolas describe how Atlassian, the creator of JIRA and Confluence, has built a modern front-end development workflow with Magnolia. How they decouple the back-end and front-end release process to deliver incremental changes to the user.
The New UI - Staying Strong with Flexbox, SASS, and {{Mustache.js}}Eric Carlisle
The document discusses a presentation on using Flexbox, SASS, and Mustache templating for building user interfaces. The presentation covers general best practices, using SASS for variables, nesting, mixins and extends, Flexbox for responsive design, and Mustache templating. The presenter is Eric Carlisle, a UI/UX architect who will demonstrate coding techniques with these tools.
This document discusses object-oriented CSS (OOCSS) as an evolution of CSS that makes it more powerful. OOCSS involves creating reusable CSS objects rather than page-specific rules, setting good global defaults, abstracting reusable elements, separating container and content, and using multiple classes to simulate inheritance. This allows for more scalable, maintainable and performant CSS code. Some best practices of OOCSS include creating semantic object classes like .heading rather than styling specific elements directly. The document provides examples of OOCSS principles and their benefits.
The document provides an overview of how to use CSS3 in WordPress. It introduces the presenter and their goal to teach the audience at least one new thing. It then covers CSS/CSS3 basics, terminology, syntax, properties, specificity, inspecting CSS, new CSS3 modules like colors, gradients, border radius, and how to add CSS in WordPress through themes, plugins or inline styles. Resources for further learning CSS are also provided, followed by time for questions.
Responsive Web Design: Clever Tips and TechniquesVitaly Friedman
Responsive Web design challenges Web designers to adapt a new mindset to their design and coding processes. This talk provides an overview of various practical techniques, tips and tricks that you might want to be aware of when working on a new responsive design project.
- libSass is a C/C++ implementation of Sass that compiles Sass much faster than the Ruby implementation. It allows Sass to be used by more developers and integrated with JavaScript build tools.
- Eyeglass is a Node.js module that allows Sass modules to be distributed through npm and imported into Sass files. It provides file system access and tools for defining Sass functions in JavaScript.
- Eyeglass aims to recreate popular Compass features like sprites and make them compatible with libSass and distributed through npm modules. This will provide an ecosystem for shared Sass code and assets without relying on Ruby.
The document discusses using jQuery to map database columns to DOM elements to allow easy manipulation of data in the DOM. It recommends making the DOM represent data semantics, abstracting DOM interaction, and using JSON for data transfer. Key aspects are mapping database columns to getter and setter functions for corresponding DOM elements, and using this mapping to build plugins for common operations like getting, setting, adding and deleting data in the DOM.
Why speed is something developers should be in charge of? Product people rarely know what to ask “Can you make this faster?” Invest in speed, It’s one of the best things to spend your time on.
An overview of the CSS preprocessor LESS.
Including code samples for creating mixins, variables, math, colors, patterns, guards, scope, and namespaces.
Using a Joostrap template, Philip will be explaining & demoing how you wire frame a website right in your browser and why it will save you load's of time.
There are no fancy plugins here! This is wire framing for your client, built directly in your browser & saving you untold hours messing around in other software.
It is so hard sometimes, trying to get across to a client with a few drawings how the functionality of something could work. Wire framing directly in the browser gives your client a working wireframe/prototype where they can interact with links, pages & concepts. Not only that, but after client approval, you just have to style your working wireframe/prototype or switch to the template that is using the same module positions... It's a win win situation!

This document introduces several CSS3 features including CSS3 PIE, @font-face, border-radius, border-image, rgba, box-shadow, text-shadow, linear-gradient, and columns. For each feature, it provides a brief description, examples of CSS code to implement the feature, and the browsers that support it. It also includes links to additional CSS3 resources.
Decoupling the Front-end with Modular CSSJulie Cameron
CSS is hard. It’s a simple language, but getting it right and avoiding specificity hell can be a challenge if you don’t have the right framework to back you up. Especially in large scaling projects, you might start adding ID selectors here and !important properties there and the next thing you know you’ve backed yourself into a corner where even the smallest of UI changes will take hours to work out. Ew.
Or how about this? Ever jump into a project and find that even the slightest markup change results in broken JavaScript AND sometimes even broken backend feature tests?! WTF. Ew.
This talk will look at how taking a modular, object-oriented approach to CSS can turn frontend woes into frontend wins. We’ll examine modern CSS approaches like OOCSS, SMACSS, and BEM and demonstrate how they will help to not only decouple your CSS styles and reduce specificity conflicts, but how they will also help to decouple your CSS and HTML from your JavaScript and feature specs.

This document discusses JavaScript frameworks and jQuery. It begins with definitions of JavaScript and frameworks. It then lists several popular JavaScript frameworks and discusses why jQuery is a good option. It provides examples of basic jQuery code for selecting elements, binding events, and manipulating styles. It demonstrates how jQuery can be used to stripe and highlight table rows in a cross-browser compatible way.
The document discusses WordPress theme frameworks and what makes a good framework. It provides examples of frameworks like Thematic that have extensive markup, multiple hooks for customization, and modular CSS. Good frameworks act as a solid starting point and make customizing themes quick and easy through their strong foundations and ability to be built upon.
This document discusses different tools for testing CSS including CSSLint for syntax checking, ResembleJS for regression testing layouts, UnCSS for removing unused selectors, and StyleStats for analyzing CSS statistics. It explains how each tool works and recommends which tools to use based on the size and complexity of projects, considering objectives, budgets, and development priorities. CSSLint and UnCSS are recommended for smaller projects while CSSLint, ResembleJS, UnCSS, and StyleStats are suggested for larger, more complex projects.
This document provides an overview of Bootstrap, a popular front-end framework for building responsive mobile-first websites. It discusses what Bootstrap is, how it makes front-end development faster through its libraries and code organization. The document also covers how to get started with Bootstrap, including using its grid system and components like buttons, images, and typography. Hands-on examples are provided for key Bootstrap features like grids, visibility classes, buttons, and alignments.
CSS Lessons Learned the Hard Way (Generate Conf)Zoe Gillenwater
Zoe Mickley Gillenwater gave a talk at Generate Conference in London where she shared several mistakes she made while learning CSS flexbox and other techniques. These included misunderstanding how flex-basis works, incorrectly using CSS transforms like rotateX, and making assumptions about screen reader support that caused accessibility issues. She emphasized that vulnerability and sharing mistakes openly can help both oneself and others learn. Making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process, and perfection should not be expected or feared.
You've got a sneaking suspicion that design impacts performance. What next? Your engineers know nothing about design and your designers know nothing about performance. How can you get everyone on the same page? Which design flaws must you absolutely avoid? How do engineers slow designs with poor CSS? This presentation covers the best practices in design and OO CSS for fast, maintainable sites.

It also introduces Pattern Lab (http://patternlab.io/), a tool for implementing atomic design systems and pattern libraries.
The document is a presentation about HTML5. It discusses what HTML5 is, some of the new elements it introduces like canvas, video, audio, and geolocation. It also covers new features like CSS3 media queries, web fonts using WOFF, and whether HTML5 is ready for use. The presentation encourages trying out HTML5 and provides some resources for learning more.
Building responsively allows us to create flexible user interfaces that support the widest possible audience with a single front-end codebase. But in embracing the ever-increasing contexts in which our sites are used, performance and accessibility must remain our highest priorities; we must continually question each code addition, and improve our delivery and application techniques to ensure they’re best serving users’ needs.
This talk will explore the challenges of creating fast and broadly-accessible websites and offer approaches that dramatically improve performance, usability, access, and sustainability.
Slides for a 90 minutes HTML workshop I gave. It was meant for absolute beginners in HTML. In addition to the slides I handed out cheat sheets for HTML and CSS (found online). The tasks were first done in http://codepen.io and later in a local HTML editor.

What are user experiences and how can we design them optimally? Why does UX matter and how does it interface with software development? And what does a unified design approach mean for front-end development at Semantico?
This document discusses frontend automation and stability. It recommends:
1. Writing unit tests using Mocha and Chai for efficient testing of separated layers and dependencies.
2. Performing UI testing using CasperJS for browser/DOM interaction or DalekJS for real browser support.
3. Integrating testing, code quality tools, and standards into a continuous integration system to catch errors and ensure code quality across contributors.

Wrangling Large Scale Frontend Web ApplicationsRyan Roemer
Web applications are massively shifting to the frontend, thanks to exciting new JavaScript / CSS technologies, expanding browser capabilities (visualizations, real-time apps, etc.) and faster perceived user experiences. However, client web applications can be a nightmare to maintain at scale, even for seasoned software architects and operations engineers. Deployment and production infrastructures are complex and rapidly changing. And, frontend JavaScript / CSS code ships to browsers worldwide, where errors and issues are notoriously difficult to systematically detect and diagnose.
In this talk, we will tackle the wild west of the frontend with pragmatic steps and seasoned advice from helping organizations from startups to Fortune 500 companies create some of the largest frontend web applications on the Internet. In particular, we will examine the many hard lessons gleaned from leading frontend application development and education for a team of 50+ engineers rearchitecting a top-five e-commerce site. Some of the topics we will cover include:
* Managing and building very large (500K+ line) frontend application / test code bases.
* Surviving production traffic and errors on the frontend and handling spikes like Black Friday / Cyber Monday for one of the highest traffic e-commerce websites in existence.
* How, where, and why your frontend application is likely to fail.
* Monitoring, logging, and debugging frontend web applications out in the wild.
* Automating checks, tests, and code introspection to protect your code in production.
* Creating an effective, fast, and engineer-friendly development-test-deployment frontend pipeline.
Whether your frontend application already supports millions of transactions a day or you are about to launch your first single-page-application, our aim is to prepare teams of all sizes for the most critical challenges and solutions facing modern frontend web applications.
How to Build Front-End Web Apps that Scale - FutureJSPhil Leggetter
Developing large apps is difficult. Ensuring that code is consistent, well structured, tested, maintainable and has an architecture that encourages enhancement is essential. When it comes to large server-focused apps, solutions to this problem have been tried and tested. But, with the ongoing dramatic shift of functionality into the browser, how do you achieve this when building Front-End Web Apps?
In this talk we’ll cover the signs to watch out for as your HTML5 SPA grows and provide examples of some of the tooling types that can contribute-to - as well as ease - the growing pains. Finally, we’ll demonstrate how tooling can be used to support a set of conventions, practices and principles that enable a productive developer workflow where the first line of code is feature code, features can be developed in isolation, code conflicts are avoided by grouping assets by feature and features are composed into apps.
The demonstrations will use the BladeRunnerJS open source developer toolkit, but the concepts are widely applicable.
This document discusses different aspects of JavaScript including backend frameworks like MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS and NodeJS. It also covers bundling tools like Browserify and Webpack for ES6 JavaScript as well as transpiling with Babel. Finally, it mentions frontend component libraries like ReactJS, Polymer and Web Components for building user interfaces with nested and reusable components.
Growing to become one of the largest sites on the Internet comes with a unique set of problems. Learning how to and adopt, and doing so without losing sight of content creator's voice proves tricky. This talk details some of the frontend tools we've built and approaches we've taken to service our millions of users at scale.
In the last few years, there has been a trend towards shifting the business logic of web apps from the backend to the frontend, with the backend being delegated to a simple API. This makes the choice of a frontend framework that much more important. In 2015 we've seen a vast amount of new innovation in web development. We'll discuss the trends in this techtalk.

This document discusses various tools used in the front end development workflow including scaffolding tools like Yeoman to prepare a project structure, package managers like npm and Bower to manage dependencies, and build tools like Grunt to build the project. It provides examples of how each tool is used and highlights key differences between front end and back end development as well as JavaScript and Java projects.
The Frontend Developer Landscape Explained and the Rise of Advanced Frontend ...Prasid Pathak
Over the past several years, as the role of the browser has grown, rich desktop-like apps have emerged built entirely in the browser. To enable this movement, a new generation of powerful JavaScript frameworks have emerged including EmberJS, AngularJS, BackboneJS, and React. In this 30 minute crash course on front end frameworks, Bloc co-founder and CTO Dave Paola will cover the history of front end web development, the recent emergence of these new Javascript frameworks, and go over some of the pros and cons for learning them.
We'll hear from Bloc co-founder and CTO Dave Paola and Bloc Developer Christian Schlensker. Prior to Bloc, Dave was a developer at Kontagent, has over 15 years of software development experience, and has founded numerous other companies. Christian comes to Bloc from Pinchit and TAG where he was a developer. Prior to that, Christian was also a graphic designer.
In our experience, beginners are often overwhelmed by buzz words like "HTML5," "JavaScript," and "Ruby." Without an experienced guide, they can spend months going down rabbit-holes drilling into specific languages, and emerge frustrated that they can't build a real website. Dave will start by helping you visualize the front end web development landscape.
Comparing Angular, Ember, Backbone, and React
2
Once you understand the landscape, Dave will introduce the four major front end frameworks that have emerged over the past two years. He'll discuss the pros and cons of learning each one, from the point of view of a beginner. These four frameworks are: AngularJS, EmberJS, BackboneJS, and ReactJS.
engage 2015 - Domino App Development - Where should I go now?René Winkelmeyer
This document provides an overview of René Winkelmeyer as the head of development at midpoints GmbH. It includes information about his professional experience and qualifications, the services offered by midpoints, and his contact information across various social media and collaboration platforms. The bulk of the document consists of slides from a presentation given by René on the topics of stateless versus stateful application architectures, common web technologies, programming languages for application development, and mobile application capabilities.
The document discusses the history and modern state of front-end development. It describes how front-end roles have evolved from C programmers to UX designers. Modern front-end uses HTML for content, CSS for design, and JavaScript for behavior. Key technologies include HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript frameworks. The future of front-end development includes single page apps, native-like experiences, and further JavaScript optimization.
Progressive downloads and rendering (Stoyan Stefanov)Ontico
This document discusses techniques for progressively downloading and rendering web pages to improve performance and user experience. It covers topics like preventing blocking JavaScript and CSS downloads, using techniques like deferred and async scripts, inline CSS, and flushing to start rendering sooner. It also discusses using data URIs to reduce HTTP requests by inlining images and other assets. Formats like MHTML and chunked encoding are presented as ways to progressively deliver content across browsers. The goal is to start outputting content as fast as possible while downloading remaining assets in the background.
This document discusses responsive image techniques for adaptive web design. It begins by explaining browser sniffing versus feature testing, and recommends using feature testing to determine browser width, screen resolution, and bandwidth instead of browser sniffing. It then covers techniques like using background-size to control image sizes, SVG for smaller file sizes, and font-based solutions. The document also discusses server-side techniques like .htaccess rewrite rules and client-side techniques like picture and HiSRC. It advocates for a mobile-first approach using CSS media queries and a single pixel GIF for responsive images.
This document provides an overview of HTML5 and what's new in the latest version. It discusses new semantic elements like <header>, <nav>, and <article> that improve document outlining. It also covers new multimedia features like native audio and video playback without Flash, as well as 2D/3D graphics using <canvas>. Other additions include new form controls, multiple file uploading, and geolocation. While HTML5 brings many new features, it is an ongoing evolution of HTML rather than a completely new language.
Derrière ce titre putaclic se cache une réalité pour une partie de notre industrie.
Les boucles for/while sont des structures itératives proposant le plus bas niveau d'abstraction. Les langages modernes proposent encore de nos jours ces structures car elles ont leur utilité dans quelques cas exceptionnels.
Ces 10 dernières années, de nouvelles structures d'itérations sont apparues, proposant un plus haut niveau d'abstraction : donc une meilleure productivité, moins de ligne de code, donc moins de bug potentiels (que nous décrirons).
Nous partirons d'exemples de code simple et montrerons leur équivalent via ces nouvelles structures puis observerons les avantages (et inconvénients ?). Les exemples seront en JavaScript mais bien entendu applicable dans d'autres langages (Java, C#, Python, Ruby, C++, Scala, Go, Rust, ...).
Progressive downloads and rendering allow content to be delivered and displayed to the user incrementally to improve perceived performance. JavaScript should be placed at the bottom of the page to avoid blocking. CSS can block rendering so should also be delivered non-blocking when possible. Techniques like flushing output, non-blocking scripts, and data URIs can help deliver content progressively. MHTML and preloading can help optimize delivery across multiple HTTP requests. The overall goal is to start displaying content as soon as possible while content continues downloading in the background.
This document discusses various techniques for improving website performance, including reducing the number of HTTP requests, enabling parallel downloads, caching files, minimizing file sizes through techniques like image sprites and compression, and using a content delivery network. It also covers specific Rails optimizations like the asset pipeline for bundling and minifying CSS and JavaScript files.
The document discusses adaptive images in responsive web design. It begins by explaining why the browser should be asked for information like screen resolution and bandwidth instead of doing speed tests. It then covers different techniques for adaptive images like using the browser width, screen resolution, bandwidth tests, feature testing vs browser sniffing, and CSS media queries. It also discusses workarounds like using the .htaccess file, <picture> element, and HiSRC plugin to serve responsive images. The document advocates for newer approaches that provide a simple user experience while allowing the browser and server to communicate information.
This document discusses adaptive images in responsive web design. It begins by explaining why the browser should be asked about screen resolution and bandwidth instead of sniffing the browser. It then demonstrates using feature testing to determine browser width and screen resolution. Next, it covers issues with higher resolution retina displays like larger file sizes. The document proposes solutions like using .htaccess files, srcset, and JavaScript libraries to serve the appropriate image based on screen details without browser sniffing. It emphasizes that CSS media queries are still important for responsive design.
This document summarizes best practices for optimizing JavaScript performance. It discusses loading JavaScript asynchronously or lazily to avoid blocking page loads. It also recommends minimizing DOM manipulation, batching style changes, and caching references to reduce reflows and repaints. The document emphasizes measuring performance through tools like Benchmark.js and jsperf.com to avoid premature optimization. It cautions against unnecessary shims and polyfills and stresses optimizing for mobile environments.
This document discusses various techniques for responsive images in web design, including browser sniffing versus feature testing, image sizes for different screen resolutions and bandwidths, and different implementation methods like .htaccess files, the <picture> element, and JavaScript libraries. It covers topics like using the browser width to determine layouts, screen resolution detection, and bandwidth testing. Workarounds discussed include using background images, SVGs, icon fonts, and compressed JPEGs. The document advocates a mobile-first approach and using CSS media queries to adapt designs based on screen size.
Sprockets is an easy solution to managing large JavaScript codebases by letting you structure it, bundle it with related assets, and consolidate it as one single file, with pre-baked command-line tooling, CGI front and Rails plugin. It's a framework-agnostic open-source solution that makes for great serving performance while helping you structure and manage your codebase better.
Velocity EU 2012 - Third party scripts and youPatrick Meenan
The document discusses strategies for loading third-party scripts asynchronously to improve page load performance.

Web Performance in the Age of HTTP2 - Topconf Tallinn 2016 - Holger BartelHolger Bartel
Web performance optimisation has been gaining ground and is slowly getting more of its deserved recognition.
Nevertheless, much of our time on the web is still used up by waiting. To decrease our wait time and improve the web’s overall performance, this integral part of user experience needs further promotion.
Waiting and the perception of time itself, is reason enough to explore some of the psychological effects time has on our users, too.
Passing time also plays a big role in the evolution of technologies. Through the history of HTTP we have reached the latest version as HTTP/2, which will turn some of our existing web performance best practices on their head and into the new anti-patterns of today.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock
Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.
