Announcement of HolyJS 2017 Piter: More JavaScript, good and different
On June 2-3, the JavaScript conference HolyJS 2017 Piter will be held - the third HolyJS in a row. Over the year of its existence, the conference showed a steep growth, and now it is gathering for 600 developers — after all, the only pure-JavaScript conference in Russia.
Yes, this time the conference will be held within two days. Why? We have already been exposed on Twitter:
But seriously, the last time, participants often complained about excessively high load by the end of the day, now due to the two-day format and reports will be more, and it will be easier to take them. The program will include not only the best speakers of past HolyJS, but also new faces (and even Douglas Crockford !)
')
Details under the cut.
We’ll say right away that there are no omissions: there will be no 2 times more reports, but due to the two-day format in three streams you will be able to visit more reports (most likely, 14 in two days instead of 8 in one). Reports will be a little longer - 60 minutes per slot, and tormenting the speakers with personal and not-so-great questions in the discussion zones will be twice as long. Finally, it will be banal to take a pause, if at some point you feel that your brain begins to slowly flow out of your ears.
Surely you know who Douglas Crockford is: one of the “fathers” of JavaScript, the creator of JSON, the author of many tools (like JSLint and JSMin), as well as one of the rare people who found good sides in JS . Agree, to personally meet and torment the questions of such a “bison” is worth a lot.
At HolyJS 2017 Piter you will be able to listen to two reports from Douglas:
- The Post JavaScript Apocalypse : What will happen after JavaScript? What language will replace him? In this report, along with Douglas, students will be able to look at the features of ES6 and find out what will happen in the future with the language. It will be about the quality of the code, the language and its simplicity, as well as the workload and clumsiness of the Internet in the form in which it exists now.
- Typing, Goto There and Back Again : Progress does not stand still, however, it goes not only forward, now deviating to the side, now taking a few steps back. JavaScript is a great example: being a superpopular and super-unloved language, it simultaneously tries to change and turns to stone from its own success. In this report, we will pause and see where the legs grow from in some controversial decisions in language design.
Of course, besides Douglas, the conference will feature the best speakers of past HolyJS: Martin Splitt, Mathias Buus Madsen, Denis Mishunov, Roman Dvornov, and many new faces. The first reports are already published, and you can see them on the conference website .
Another important thing that should be mentioned is the new membership of the Conference Program Committee. This time, the PC is represented not only by the St. Petersburg JS community, but by colleagues from all over the country, as well as independent developers:
We have worked with feedback from the participants and this time we will look at the hardcore and practical applicability of the reports, and not on the amount of HYIP around the topic.
If you want to talk about something hardcore and new Russian JavaScript-community give us a report !
If you have already spoken somewhere and have met a warm welcome from the organizers and the audience, show us the videotape of the report - this will significantly speed up the decision making by the program committee and increase your chances of performance. Class performances in the past is one of the important criteria that traditionally guides our program committee.
Beginners should not be afraid either - we will definitely communicate with everyone. Moreover, if your topic is fresh and interesting, we will do everything to hone the content of the report, the technique of performance, timings and presentation, in general, to prepare the perfect report with you, for this we even started a special section in the blog.
As usual, program updates can be monitored on the conference website, and the list of confirmed speakers can also be monitored there.
PPS If suddenly after reading the post you wanted to register - for the first hundred tickets we have a special price that will increase with the number of tickets purchased. And for those who are far from St. Petersburg, there is an online broadcast.
