FrontFest ❄️ From Siberia with love

We have an IT tradition in Siberia - to hold a CodeFest flight conference. Every year we collect full halls, testing the possibilities of the site. Every year we close registration ahead of time, and only this year for the first time not only closed registration, but even tried to return money to a couple of dozen participants so that they would not come. But they came, and the Expocentre broke through .



Every year we are asked when we already take ourselves in hand and deliver the traditional Siberian heat to Moscow. And only this year we decided to do it for the first time. No, CodeFest remains in a familiar climate, and we are heading to Moscow.

From thoughts to business: November 18, we hold a FrontFest front-end conference in Moscow. 30 reports in three streams, home stand (special format of the discussion panel) and workshops.

§ About love and principles

The basic principle of CodeFest is to make it so that it is soulful, cozy and useful for everyone. With love and respect for the participants and speakers.



The interests of the participants come first, therefore:

1. We update the composition of speakers by 100% every year. With rare exceptions, when the participants themselves ask again.

2. We do not have advertising and "partner" reports.

3. We have no fees for speakers - all speakers act out of love.

4. We keep the cost of participation as low as possible so that it is accessible to almost all potential participants.



We help the speakers to prepare - we do so that the speech of the speaker coincides with the expectations of the participants. We arrange runs, talk about the audience, conduct surveys of participants to test hypotheses and, if necessary, conduct a course for a young speaker. More revelations and intrigues in the text about the internal kitchen of the program committee.



And of course, we do FrontFest on exactly the same principles.

§ About the program

In total, there will be 5 streams in the program: 3 with reports, workshops and apartment musicians.

We decided to devote three streams with reports to the development of client-side web applications:



VYORSTKA - about layout in a broad sense;

JS - about JavaScript and any of its derivatives;

MIX - about all the important things that do not fit into previous streams: setting up a webpack, frontend performance, graphics optimization, VR / AR on the web.



Throw in the flat music (our corporate discussion format) and the flow with workshops for all comers - you will get more than 40 speeches.



And some teasers:





Blaine Cook (Condé Nast) - the man who created OAuth and was one of the originators of the social network Twitter - will talk about security problems on the network and how the front-runner can move to a more secure and convenient Internet.





Leonie Watson (The Paciello Group) will talk about how, in an era of widespread use of JS frameworks, not to slip into divs and span, but to make your site accessible to people with disabilities.





Kirill Chernyshov (Red Pineapple Media) will tell you about his experience in Aviasales: how to get into ClojureScript production and how it all might not take off.





Jose M. Perez (Spotify) will share image loading techniques on the client — placeholders, dominant colors, image blurring, and lazy loading.





Lyza Danger Gardner (Independent) will show what you can do with JavaScript outside of browsers and servers (without Arduino).









Mathieu “p01” Henri (Microsoft) will hold a workshop where he will show you how to do Shooting Arena in JavaScript from scratch.





Vladislav Kozulya will arrange a holivar-battle within the framework of a home apartment on the theme “Frontendor is not a man”



The rest of the decent speakers, see the site . The program is ready for 90% (there remained the apartment workers and workshops).



I also want to introduce you to the program committee - Roma Prudnikov, Dima Dekhanov, Oleg Kalyanov. These seniors are frontend developers at 2GIS and curators of frontend sections at CodeFest.
