On December 7, we had a Frontend DevDay - we mixed the technical presentation of the new 2GIS with a full-fledged mitap. We talked about maps on WebGL, the transformation team and browser requests. According to the participants, it turned out festive and fascinating.
Today we share the records of all three reports. Speakers in touch, if you have any questions - feel free to ask in the comments to the post.
What is DevDay?
DevDay - open meetings for sociable IT people in Novosibirsk. We collect 150 guests, listen to three reports and communicate after the party. Meetings are held every three months. This year we managed to talk about .NET , JavaScript and testing .

Perhaps the most beautiful map // Mstislav Zhivodkov, 2GIS
Mstislav explained how his team transferred the 2gis.ru map from raster to vector and built full 3D. Now the map is smooth and comfortable. And still beautiful - pleasure to watch. Turn on the recording to learn a little more about WebGL, web workers and collected cones.
How we delivered a new product, and delivered a new team // Vladislav Sapozhnikov, Yegor Banshchikov, 2GIS
Technologies, of course, are important, but not only on them do projects stand. In the report, the guys talked about the evolution of the team when developing a new online version of 2GIS. We broke the experience into four blocks - code, architecture, processes and team.
Browser Makes Request // Roman Prudnikov, 2GIS
The report sorted out various requests from the browser: when they are cached, when they don’t go through, what packets go through to get where they need to be, and how understanding the difference between TLS and SSL helps the frontier. Look to prepare for the upcoming interview.
