Continue introducing our speakers to you.
This time meet Jan Jongboom, who already performed at our JS conference three years ago, and we are so glad that he managed to fit our conf into his schedule again 🙂
Jan is working as Developer Evangelist IoT for Arm, and always on the lookout on how to connect the web with the real world. He loves doing unexpected stuff with sensors, flying drones from the browser, and breaking phones. He has written thousands of patches for open source projects and is the maintainer of the Mbed JerryScript runtime.
In his talk “JavaScript all the things” Jan Jongboom will talk about omnipresent JavaScript in the unusual industry: the Internet of Things.
JS is running everything from small mobile phones to large servers in the cloud. But there's one place where JS is abundantly absent: the Internet of Things. Some small experiments are done in the hobbyist space by frameworks like Johnny-Five and JS runtimes like Espruino, but C is still the undisputed king for devices that are power- and battery-constraint. But why?! The same reasons why we love JavaScript on the web and on servers apply to smaller devices too: JS is safe, dynamic, fast to develop against, and its asynchronous nature would be great for small network connected devices that mostly just respond to user input.
Also, Jan will tell you how he works with embedded C applications and JavaScript in his day job. Embedded development still seems stuck in the 90s, and the web is moving at a greater and greater pace.
So he will go into the current state of JavaScript on embedded devices. He'll cover the developments in the industry, show where JS is already applied, and what problems we'll need to solve to bring JavaScript to all the things.
