Fluent 2012: Nicole Sullivan, "Don't Feed The Trolls"
by OreillyMedia 42,237 views
The JavaScript community is one of the most vibrant and fun groups I've ever been lucky enough to be a part of. Like any vibrant community, sometimes people don't play nicely. In this session, I will discuss what it has been like to be shy and be on twitter, mailing lists, and open source. I'll talk about my experiences consulting on massive CSS overhauls, and ways to defeat trolls—including your own inner troll! I'll also share a timing attack for your brain that might just surprise you.

Almost two decades after the birth of JavaScript, its creator gives a whirlwind history of the language with stories (and dirt!) dished out from each era.

Fluent 2012: Ben Galbraith & Dion Almaer, "Web vs. Apps"
by OreillyMedia 4,892 views
Apple's iPhone SDK has been the largest disruption to software development since the Web, sparking the creation in a few short years of the largest medium for consumer engagement in the world, eclipsing the Web, movies, and even television. While some prophesy that in the coming years mobile apps will be replaced by the web, in today's reality a number of high profile start-ups are bypassing the web entirely to reach their audience exclusively via apps. Join Ben and Dion as they discuss the role of the web in the mobile present and explore developer issues as we head into the post-PC era.
Ben Galbraith

Ben Galbraith, together with his long-time friend Dion Almaer, forms one-half of the dynamic "Ben and Dion" duo that founded Ajaxian.com, headed Developer Tools at Mozilla, ran Developer Relations at Palm and is now running mobile architecture and engineering at Walmart.com after being acquired along with their start-up team in early 2011. Ben's been writing code since he was six and starting businesses since he was ten; he's written books, given hundreds of award-winning presentations world-wide, produced a few technical conferences, sold three companies, and has held CEO, CIO, CTO, and Software Architect positions in the medical, publishing, media, consumer electronics, advertising, software and internet industries.

Dion has been writing Web applications since it took over from Gopher. He has been fortunate enough to speak around the world, has published many articles, a book, and of course covers life the universe and everything on his blog.
He has been called a human aggregator, and you can see that in full force if you follow him on Twitter. -

Fluent 2012: Steve Souders, "Your Script Just Killed My Site"
by OreillyMedia 4,710 views
Hiccup. We all get them occasionally. So does the Web. When an Internet or server hiccup causes a script, stylesheet, or font file to timeout, the result can be devastating -- the containing web page is likely to appear completely white for a minute or more. What's worse -- your monitors are unlikely to register this outage. Don't worry -- this probably won't happen to your website. Or will it?

by OreillyMedia 3,565 views
JavaScript is well on its way to become the dominant general-purpose programming language. The present looks good and the future looks even better: Many of the things that people currently complain about will be fixed by the next version of ECMAScript (code-named ECMAScript.next). We'll also look at steps to improve JavaScript after ECMAScript.next, some of which are not language-related.

Fluent 2012: Gary Flake, "Bookmarklets as Applications"
by OreillyMedia 2,644 views
Bookmarklets are both a blessing and a curse. They are inherently risky from a security perspective, but also offer the only cross-browser method for instantiating an application on top of another Web page. The core of our product (www.clipboard.com) is a bookmarklet that serves as a sort of cross-site copy buffer. It began as a hack but has evolved into an outright application framework that includes build and bootup processes, cross-site messaging, style sandboxing, and code reuse across multiple applications. This talk gives a world-wind tour of some of the best tricks that we've learned along the way.
Gary Flake

Dr. Gary William Flake is the CEO of Clipboard Inc., a seed stage Internet startup that allows users to save, organize and share their favorite parts of the web.

HTML5 for game development: Jesse Freeman interviewed at Fluent 2012
by OreillyMedia 1,474 views
HTML5, it's the 800 lbs gorilla in the developer room. I tried to resist it for as long as I could but in the end I had no choice but to embrace it. So to have a little fun I decided to make a game. But not just any game, I created a crowd sourced RPG built on top of ImpactJS and powered by Wordpress. Crazy right? Well I was happy to find out that it actually wasn't that hard to do!
In this talk I will cover Impact, which is a HTML5 game framework. I'll cover my development workflow, how I converted my AS3 code over to HTML5, asset management (sprite sheets generation) and discuss the future of HTML5 gaming. I'll also cover some basics of Canvas and how I used Wordpress to power my game.
This talk is for anyone interesting in learning more about HTML 5 game development and how to transition over to JS from AS3. Not only will I cover the basics of game design including how to organize your game ideas and build them but I will also go in depth into my own game projects from Flash to HTML 5 and how I am able to use the same skills across each platform. This talk is NOT about converting people from Flash to HTML 5. HTML 5 gaming is still in its infancy but has the potential to explode just like Flash gaming did 10 years ago. This talk attempts to open its viewers up to the future of web gaming as HTML 5 becomes more widely adopted.

O'Reilly's Fluent Conference was created to give developers working with JavaScript a place to gather and learn from each other. As JavaScript has become a significant tool for all kinds of development, there's a lot of new information to wrap your head around. And the best way to learn is to spend time with people who are actually working with JavaScript and related technologies, inventing ways to apply its power, scalability, and platform independence to new products and services.
Fluent Conference provides a variety of forums for learning, from workshops and sessions with experts to the "hallway track" between sessions, where attendees informally connect and share questions, knowledge, and perspectives with their peers.
