FrontFest.Keynote - Blaine Cook (creator of OAuth) and Mateus Fernandez (CTO Zeit)

Movie shows give a mood or draw a line. At the CodeFest conference, we have adhered to this tradition for four years. The program always has something that inspires people not only with its technical component, but with the approach and ideas.

In recent years, we have opened conferences with stories about technology. Closed with stories about positive thinking and overcoming unpleasant moments in life and work.

At FrontFest, we will continue this tradition. At the beginning, the creator of the OAuth protocol, Blaine Cook, will talk about how to strike a balance between reliability and authorization complexity. The conference will be closed by the report of the 22-year-old vice-president for technology ZEIT - how much the desire to work in IT is more important than higher education.

Keynote is a “keynote” performance. In our case, these are reports of people with unique experience who will disperse the conference at the beginning and close it so that you leave with new forces, ideas and thoughts. For such important matters as the opening and closing of the conference, we invited speakers who have never been to Russia.

You entered the wrong password! - Blaine Cook

Blaine Cook is one of the first Twitter developers. He managed to work with Yahoo on the Fire Eagle geo-location sharing service, and later founded Poetica , a content editing service.
It is mainly known as the creator of the OAuth protocol, an open authorization protocol. You use this protocol every time you log in to any resource using your favorite social network. All the projects that Blaine had a chance to work on reflect his main interest - to expand the possibilities of communication and secure information exchange on the Internet.

Blaine Cook will open the FrontFest conference with his presentation on creating convenient and reliable services, for example, open authentication. Do not wait for stories about encryption and crypto-scaling. Blaine will show the task from the side where convenience and simplicity come first, and will tell how developers and designers can better collaborate to help users.

Journey to the best work in the world - Mateus Fernandez

If you are a React lover, then you probably heard about Next.js. This is a small framework created by ZEIT, which in addition made Now, a console application that easily allows the deployment of JavaScript and Docker applications from the console. We will close the conference with the history of the technical director of this company.

Never before have we had such a young cinematic speaker: Mateus Fernandez, at 22, is not only an active participant in the open source community (among those where he participated is Kap ), but also an international startup CTO.

The guy from Brazil, who dreamed of living and working in San Francisco, creating cool applications, suffered for many months with a dilemma, continue studying at an unloved university and get a higher education or give all his strength to his beloved open source. Despite the disapproval of his acquaintances, he nevertheless left the university and in ten months went from being a dismissed student to vice president of technology at ZEIT.
About how to find strength and motivation, Mateus will tell in his speech.
