One of the most fun ways to get a peek into another person’s life is to experience their city like a local would -- with a homebase in a their space. LifeSwap takes the fun of living how a stranger does one step further. We’ve teamed up with AirBnB to give you a taste of what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes. We can safely say that this is the best giveaway of any SXSW party around.
Day 4 is about the word on every marketer’s mouth. Everyone’s focusing on it, but it’s not a focused word. What does it mean exactly? Why does it matter? And how do we do it right? Attend small group workshops about mobile ads, mobile responsive site and mobile app development. Learn about the rapid rise of mobile browsing (and what that means to us) in our interactive globe installation. And hear from Ruth McCarthy, Founder of Mobili Media, about how to get caught up -- and then get ahead.
Covalence is an independent, hand-crafted, single-day and single-track conference about building desktop apps with Electron, Node.js and JavaScript.
Join us for an exciting look at the future of Electron and JavaScript on the desktop, a chance to meet the community, and a day of inspiration and fun.
Covalence is the first conference about Electron, the framework that enables developers to use web technologies as the foundation for cross-platform desktop apps.
We'll go beyond the usual "Introducing Electron" talks and take a deeper look at building performant, secure, and beautiful apps that users love. Let's take a look at the future of the web platform on the desktop, the Electron framework itself, and hear from those who've built great software with it.
Franziska is a member of the Node.js Technical Steering Committee and an expert on ES6 performance. She has a Ph.D. in mathematics and is a software engineer at Google on the Cloud Platform team in New York. Previously, she was on the Chrome V8 team. When she's not working hard on making Node.js better on Google Cloud, she's probably out riding horses.
Till Schneidereit directs the WebAssembly tooling efforts at Mozilla. His team is responsible for Emscripten, the compiler toolchain that kickstarted asm.js and subsequently WebAssembly; coordinating the Rust-to-WebAssembly compilation efforts; and other projects around WebAssembly development and deployment. He’s also a delegate to the language standardization bodies for both JavaScript and WebAssembly.
Dear Electron friend,
JavaScript, Node.js, and Electron are important to me. For the last few years, I've been organizing Electron meetups, have spoken about Electron at dozens of conferences, and written about it. The more I talk to developers building desktop software, the more I am convinced that its approach to cross-platform development is more than just hype.
This conference is a labor of love. Thanks to extremely generous sponsorship by Slack, all proceeds will be donated to The Last Mile (https://thelastmile.org), a non-profit organization that prepares incarcerated individuals for successful reentry through technology training.
I'm excited and thankful for the amazing list of speakers – and looking forward to meeting even more members of the Electron community.
💖, Felix Rieseberg
