Open source software is gratis maar dat wil niet zeggen dat je er alles mee mag doen. De licenties achter OSS stellen regels, waar je je toch echt aan moet houden. Wat die regels in de praktijk betekenen, is altijd goed voor discussie. Moet je je eigen applicatie vrijgeven als je OSS inzet? Moet de broncode van een webapplicatie dan online aangeboden worden? En wat voor gevaar vormen softwarepatenten voor open source? ICT-jurist Wouter Dammers behandelt de meest voorkomende licenties en hun eisen en valkuilen.

Sinds 5 juni 2012 is de cookiewet van kracht. Het is niet meer toegestaan om cookies te plaatsen of browserinstellingen uit te lezen, tenzij er toestemming is van de eindgebruiker. Deze regels zijn streng. En wie cookies gebruikt om profielen te maken, heeft ook nog eens te maken met de strenge privaywet. ICT-jurist Arnoud Engelfriet vertelt over wat er nog wel en niet mag, hoe je kunt voldoen aan de wet en of deze wet ooit nog gaat verdwijnen.

Progress is a process, and like most man-made processes progress can be sped up and slowed down. As the victims and beneficiaries of progress in the browser space, it pays to understand not just what's holding us back, but what could be helping us move forward faster as well. This talk examines the feedback loops that create and hinder progress, why that process will never be pretty, and why now is perhaps the best time ever to be a web developer.

Maybe you've inherited some smelly code, or maybe you've written some yourself, rushing to get a feature out the door knowing that you're leaving yourself a mess to clean up later. No matter how you end up with smelly code, eliminating smells is an important step toward making code easier to work with -- for you and your fellow developers -- reducing opportunities for introducing bugs, and making your code easier to test. Heck, it can even help you get a new job. In this talk, we'll look at some common code smells and how to address them; along the way, we'll take a peek at templates, deferreds, promises, and other techniques that can help you tidy up your JavaScript.

For years front-end developers had to rely on custom Javascript tools and libraries to create animations we can now accomplish with a simple CSS transition. Transions however still have their limits, especially so when it comes to live interaction by users. In this session Peter shows how to step beyond some of these limits, and the benefits from doing so.

The word is getting out. Great web site experiences require careful development and crafty execution in the front end. Squeezing every drop of performance out of your user's browser is tough, but Steve Souders and friends have mobilized an army, and we are all having a bloody good go. But there is a common threat to doing great work in the front-end. It lurks in the back-end and clients love it. It's the content management system, and more often than not, it stinks. We'll look at examples of the damaging traces CMSs leave behind in the front-end and at how we might work to reduce them. We'll find ways to fight for what matters in a CMS, and ways to avoid the smell of your CMS wafting over to the user and sacrificing the craftsmanship of good front-end engineering.

A mix of innovation, collaboration through standards, reverse engineering, content studies, and fussy politics, has created the somewhat messy yet beautiful platform we have today. It enables us to publish anything from a simple document to a complex application. This talk will dive into some of the low-level details of that platform as well as explain those fussy politics.

Jeroen will talk about the current state of HTML5 video on both desktop and mobile. The latest developments include the HTML5 element, which promises to make online video accessible and interactive.

A talk about open source software, money, time, scarcity of resources, economics and side projects.
