About

JSFoo is India’s only national JavaScript conference series, with previous editions in Bangalore, Pune and Chennai. This year’s Bangalore edition is a flagship two-day event.

The theme for JSFoo 2012 is JavaScript Everywhere. Hear from developers on how they and their organizations are pushing the limits of what can be done with JavaScript on the server, in embedded devices, and in its original home in the browser.

Microsoft (Platinum Sponsor)

As the world moves towards a blend of web and client applications that work across devices and form factors, Microsoft has committed itself to help developers deliver immersive experiences that enable this blend between web and client. We call this “native HTML5”, which enables developers to leverage the power and capabilities of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript to build faster, richer and trusted Windows 8 applications.

Flipkart (Silver Sponsor)

Flipkart.com, is India's largest e-commerce brand, and it functions in 14 verticals and counting today. Flipkart is portraying ever increasing volumes of information (categories, reviews) on the same limited screen size of desktops and mobile phones. There is a silent constant evolution of the elements positioned, image sizes, brightness, ordering etc. and all this with serious experimentation. Being one of India's top web properties flipkart.com has all the challenges from SEO, SEM, cross browser portability, testing across various browsers, Website design, Images, A/B Testing, Self Serve forms with complex validations, Self Serve forms and Javascript, site download time for constrained bandwidth, apparent and real load time and real load time and site performance etc.

Online transactions are central to Flipkart and so the entire gamut requires a lot of the usual security etc.

Because we write tests. (No manual-testing-zombies here..)
Because we ship new features. Every day. (Psst..Some folks call it Continuous Delivery)
Because we LOVE creating great user experiences.
