Joost vertelt over hoe hij Web Workers inzet in een React / Flux-omgeving om de UI van Pinch zo snel mogelijk te maken, en gebruikers toch alle kracht van een spreadsheetprogramma te bieden…

Zoals velen van ons kwam Matthijs in aanraking met programmeren door het spelen van games. Maar net zoals velen van ons kwam hij nooit echt toe aan het maken van een game. Want waar vind je de tijd? Nou, tijdens dat half uurtje lunch! Matthijs laat zien hoe je in kleine sprongen een complete side scrolling shooter kan bouwen - in de browser. Meer i…

Occasionally, the stakeholders at your client need some convincing to have you go the extra mile for performance. That means making a business case for web performance optimization.

In security-sensitive situations, performance can actually be a bug rather than a feature. This presentation covers timing attacks on the web, and demonstrates how modern performance-related web APIs can sometimes have a negative security impact.

Images form 64% of all website data & have a high correlation to page load time. Optimizing image delivery through compression alone is a daunting task. Using HTTP2's superpowers, we can optimize images to ship faster, increasing the perceived performance and initiating users' emotional responses to visuals earlier. HTTP2-powered image delivery lea…

Everyone in 2016 knows that websites should use HTTPS. However, there is a common misconception that TLS and other security measures slow down both web developers and page load times. This talk will show you some easy tricks to make your site more secure without sacrificing performance. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2016-spring/session…

Responsive Web Design (RWD) is the solution for putting our apps on mobile devices. Or is it? Bloated web applications that simply shrink in width are not usable. Squishy design is not the only, or even the main, solution for improved mobile web user experience. Other than responsive design, how can we improve performance so our mobile web applicat…

There are scores of concerns, both back-end and front-end, when considering performance. When it comes to accessibility, user performance is also a major concern and extends beyond things like perceived time. While perceived time is very important for UX, accessible user experience intersects performance in that it requires allowing the user to ans…

By studying the limitations of browsers with assistive technologies and establishing developer best practices, we can we make faster, more accessible experiences for our users. We'll frame Web Performance with an Accessibility lens, looking at progressive enhancement in detail with server- and client-rendered apps built with Angular 2, React or Emb…

Web fonts are great. They are also be really bad for performance because they block rendering. You may have experienced this on a slow cellular network. Staring at a blank page is no fun, especially when content has already loaded. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2016-spring/sessions/web-fonts-performance-by-bram-stein…

If you could take a 50% hit in real world performance and get a site that feels 50% faster, would you? Nobody cares how fast your site is. All your users care about is how fast your site feels. Going beyond the perceived perf theory, Paul is bringing a bunch of demos of things that employ clever tricks and psychology to turn things that should be s…

How do we animate smoothly without laptop fans going haywire all around the world? It’s through animation that we make sense of the world: doors swing open, cars drive to their destinations, lips curl into smiles. Even the things that feel instantaneous, like lightning striking, or dropping a phone on your face while browsing in bed, happen over ti…

Mooie principes maar ze maken het werk van de traditionele tester onmogelijk. Die verwacht namelijk een dik pak specificaties, PSD’s en een paar maanden tijd om alles te testen. Moeten we deze principes dus wel toe willen passen als we de kwaliteit van ons eindproduct niet kunnen garanderen? Meer info op: https://fronteers.nl/bijeenkomsten/2015/net…

Het is heel goed om wireframes, designs en/of front-end al zo vroeg mogelijk te testen zodat je in een vroeg stadium nog wijzigingen kan doen alvorens je iets gerealiseerd hebt. Tenslotte kan je met een werkend front-end al een hoop gebruiksgemak en ervaring testen. Meer info op: https://fronteers.nl/bijeenkomsten/2015/netvlies…

Web development is in a state of confusion. We feel we are not innovating enough, we are let down by browsers and OSes and we try to fill all these holes with home made remedies. It's time to look at what we have, what we lost and what is a waste of our time. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2015/sessions/christian-heilmann-of-gaps-filler…

Nowadays, our built environment is largely made out of software. Developers directly influence the behaviour of their users through what the interface allows people to do with their software. A perfect interface isn't a solution for all software problems, but we do know that even the best algorithms are useless if they are not made accessible throu…

In this talk we'll explore what open data is (and what it isn't), and why we should care about it.

We’ll look at practical examples of how a static site generator can help deliver a modern web development workflow, support a living styleguide, and also pack the kind of dynamic punch that you’d only think possible from bi…

Just because it requires JavaScript, doesn't make it wrong, but we often use JavaScript to engineer-away the parts of the web that are already better than native.

I will also talk about how WebGL was used to speed up the decoding and discuss other tricks that imp…

Why does one set up a digital agency in the middle of a recession? Because one thinks one can do better.
