jQuery Europe: Top international developers meet in Vienna
Utl.: Smart, Responsive, Mobile and Security - numerous guests
at the experts conference for IT trends - Gentics CEO Meran:
"Vienna the hot spot for IT innovation"
Vienna - The Viennese Palais Liechtenstein became the meeting
point for the worldwide IT community. Between February 22 and
23, it was the magnet for more than 300 web technologists and
developers that work with JavaScript and jQuery. Top experts and
web pioneers from all over the world traveled to Vienna's first
jQuery conference to discuss new trends in web development,
Apps, and Smart TV. And over that weekend the over 300-year-old
former palace was transformed into an IT hot spot. The
preeminent theme in those two days was the topic of "securing
the web for users."
IT experts at first hand
As Mike West, security expert at Google explained in his
presentation: "the race against hackers cannot be won - they are
numerous and are probably just as interest in stealing your
data as you are in protecting it. It takes only a single mistake
to make a website vulnerable to attack. Given that more and
more application logic is moving to the browser, it's more
important than ever to protect that layer of the application.
Content Security Policy is an important step towards that goal
and it is already supported in Chrome and Firefox."
Developer Patrick Lauke, one of the top speakers at the
conference, focused on the topic of "Smart TV" and the
development of Smart TV-Apps and web content for TV browsers:
"When programming TV Apps you should consider, that the hardware
you are dealing with is still at an early development stage
(slow processors, limited storage) and needs rather conservative
coding. Although TVs get updated constantly, it's unclear if we
are going to see the predicted rise of TV-Apps in the near
future."
Christian Heilmann, Mozilla Developer and JavaScript author,
dedicated his presentation to the challenge of out-of-the-box
innovation: "We are in a time of change. The web as we knew it
is not only changing in terms of technologies and demands--but
user preferences are changing too. More and more people are
experiencing the web first and foremost on mobile devices and
tablets, which brings new challenges to us as developers."
Event host and moderator Haymo Meran, Chief Technical Officer of
Gentics Software, was satisfied by the sold out conference:
"the overwhelming run to our web development conference shows
the need for such an event in Austria. Web developers and their
communities appreciate possibilities to exchange and talk about
innovation at common platforms. My vision is to see Vienna as
the new hot spot for IT innovation in central Europe. The first
jQuery conference in Vienna is a good starting point and a
contribution to this."
Technical exchange on all levels
Numerous web developers, IT enthusiasts, and heads of
development departments of major Austrian companies joined the
conference to follow the talks and hang out at Microsoft's main
sponsor lounge. Netural, karriere.at and Full Stack also invited
the 300 guests to know-how exchange. Besides personal chats
during coffee break and lunch, communication also took place on
social media platforms like Twitter (Twitter
(https://twitter.com/jqueryeurope), and highlights coming out of
the conference were constantly posted and commented by the
attendees.
