There’s one surprising thing which links the VS Code, Slack, WhatsApp, Github and Atom desktop apps together – they have all been built using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Thanks to Electron, building these powerful, cross-platform desktop apps is easier than you think. Today we’ll learn how to do just that. We’ll talk about the pros and cons of building Electron apps, and look at a real-world example to see how Slack has been created. We’ll dive into Slack’s architecture, and investigate why we solved some of the problems we faced in the way we did.

In the browser, you can use any programming language you want… as long as it's JavaScript. But what if you want to use a different language? In this talk, you'll learn how you can break out of the monolingual environment provided by the browser, and use Python (or any other language) instead.

Serverless has captivated the IT community at an incredible pace, and for good reason. It has tremendous power to liberate productivity, increase innovation and reduce overhead. However, adopting serverless technologies is still not well understood. As the ecosystem grows around serverless, we’re empowered with options, yet further distanced us from a clear path to adoption. In this talk, we’ll break through the clutter to investigate use-cases, adoption methods, the power of serverless now and it’s capacity to meet the demands of the future. We’ll also look into open-source, community-led projects within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation that aim to advance the adoption of serverless technologies while enabling interoperability and an open ecosystem.
