► The Talks 🎤
👉Talk 1: Extreme 3D (Holo)Graphic Processing with Node.js
We will present Holoxica's flagship Holoviewer technology built using fully open source NodeJs tools and frameworks including NWJS/NodeWebkit and ThreeJS/WebGL.
When most people think of 3D graphics or animation frameworks, they tend to go for well-known gaming frameworks like Unity or Unreal Engine. Although these are proprietary and free to use for smaller projects, they are not open and require licenses for commercial use. Scripting languages like python and NodeJs are not normally associated with high performance graphics processing. NWJS (aka NodeWebKit) is a framework bundling Chromium, NodeJS and an embedded V8 compiler for near-native performance. It is aimed at making apps using web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and WebGL. ThreeJS is one of the best open source 3D graphics framework built on WebGL. We show that industrial strength apps can be built with these open frameworks, with all the advantages afforded by Node. This includes fast turnaround for rapid prototyping to build MVPs. A particular bonus is cross-platform compatibility (across Windows, Mac & Linux) with source protection via the NWJC compiler for native binaries. Holoviewer is high performance with millions of polygons rendered at 60 fps with 45 views per frame (up to 2700 renders per second). We will demonstrate our graphics app running on the latest Looking Glass 3D light field display; as well as digital holograms that were generated using Holoviewer.
About Holoxica:
Our vision is to “Solve 3D”. Holoxica is a tech company specialising in disruptive holographic 3D solutions from motion video displays to static images. Our tech does not need any head gear where 3D images appear in mid-air, viewable naturally, just like "Star Wars". We have an experienced team delivering on extreme hardware, software and 3D graphics projects. We offer 3D light-field displays capable of showing colour motion video, as well as static digital holograms. We can convert any kind of 3D digital data into a hologram. Our technology is positioned beyond current AR/VR and can be a direct replacement for this. The main uses are in professional applications are in medical imaging, scientific data visualisation, engineering design, architecture and construction.
Short Bio:
Dr. Javid Khan – Founder and Managing Director, Holoxica Limited
Pioneer in holographic 3D technologies for medical, scientific, industrial and commercial applications. Entrepreneur, founder and director of Holoxica Ltd, a high tech company working on holographic 3D visualisation including digital holograms and holographic video displays. Javid founded Holoxica in 2008 to commercialise the results of his research in Photonics Engineering on Holographic 3D displays at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh. Javid holds an Engineering doctorate in Photonics Engineering on Holographic 3D displays, MEng in Microelectronics/Computing, MSc in Telecoms Engineering; and an MBA in Entrepreneurship.
This is going to be an awesome event! We have a combined React and Node.js event with BBQ Party.
We have an absolute pleasure to let you know that Anna Henningsen is coming to give us a Node.js talk. Anna is quite famous Node.js core contributor. You can see the proof using the link below. She is all over the Node.js codebase :-)

---> Talk 1: Knock knock, who's there? Authenticating your single page apps using JSON Web Tokens by Sam Bellen
Abstract
In this talk I will try to explain in depth, the way JSON Web Tokens work and can be used to secure your single page apps. I will explain the difference between using opaque tokens and JWTs. The talks will also give an overview of a modern authentication flow and a step by step breakdown of how it works exactly. No specific previous knowledge is required, but it helps the audience has some experience with authenticating users.
Bio
I'm Google Developer Expert who works as a Developer Evangelist at Auth0. At Auth0 we're trying to make authentication and identification as easy as possible, while still keeping it secure.
After office hours I like to play around with the web-audio API, and other "exotic" browser API's. One of my side projects is a library to add audio effects to an audio input using JavaScript.
When I'm not behind a computer, you can me find playing the guitar, having a beer at a concert, or trying to snap the next perfect picture.

---> Talk 2: A new way to profile Node.js by Matteo Collina
Abstract
It’s been weeks and the organization you work for seems to be slowly turning against you. At least that’s what it feels like. User experience is poor because of slow API’s, sales are being missed, performance-linked SEO heuristics are causing a drop in page ranking. Mobile users have all but given up. Operations have reported that a critical Node.js service owned by your team is spinning at[masked]% CPU, and all parts of the application dependent on the service are experiencing intermittent slowdowns or in some cases, complete unavailability. What are you going to do now?
In this talk we’ll present a new and straightforward way to identify bottlenecks in Node.js and beyond.
Bio
Matteo is a code pirate and mad scientist. He spends most of his days programming in Node.js, but in the past he worked with Ruby, Java and Objective-C. In 2014, he defended his Ph.D. thesis titled "Application Platforms for the Internet of Things". Now he is a Principal Architect at nearForm (@NearForm), where he consults for the top brands of the world. Matteo is also the author of the Node.js MQTT Broker, Mosca, the fast logger Pino and of the Fastify web framework. Matteo is a member of the Node.js Technical Steering Committee. Matteo spoke at several international conferences: Node.js Interactive, NodeConf.eu, NodeSummit, JSConf.Asia, WebRebels, and JsDay to name a few. He is also co-author of the book "Node.js Cookbook, Third Edition" edited by Packt. In the summer he loves sailing the Sirocco.

The Talks
---> Talk 1: Video Killed My Data Plan by Doug Sillars (@dougsillars)
Video is one of the fastest growing mediums on the web and in mobile applications. Video files have been shown to increase engagement, and can be a great way to deliver your message quickly. (And who doesn’t love animated GIFs?) However, video that takes a long time to start up leads to frustration and abandonment. The same goes for video that stalls during playback. In this talk, you’ll learn best practices to optimize the delivery of your video to you customers, ensuring fast delivery and minimizing stalls for a great customer experience.
