Aaron Frost

Front End Junkie, Wannabe Author, Aspiring Designer

I've spent the last several years swimming (at times sinking) in the Front End waters. Finding JS and CSS/HTML was the best thing that could have happened to me. By day I am a project member on a team that is building a mobile web app for over 50,000 servicemen and servicewomen worldwide. By night I am working with O'Reilly Media and Steve Olson, and we are writing the book 'JS.Next: ES6', which should be out towards the end of 2012. Additionally I work on several small projects for myself, and one with my identical twin brother. Peppered in between working hours, I enjoy being married to a wonderful wife, and being the dad of three amazing monsters. And when the world is white and frozen, you will find me atop the mountain ice fishing.

Presentations

ECMAScript 6: The new face of JavaScript (

By the end of 2012, the new ECMAScript Spec will be approved. Browser vendors have already begun implementing the powerful new functionality. Based on my book "JS.Next: The future of JavaScript" this session will go over the new pieces of the JavaScript API.

This session will be hands-on, giving the participants the opportunity to get their hands on the new pieces afforded them in the latest JavaScript API. We will also go over using libraries like Traceur-Compile to provide backwards compatability for non-modern browsers.

Simpler Social Integration using API Mashups

Each day our mobile gaming platform is becoming more and more capable. Each day the need to send games to the mobile browser increases. Many game designers are forcing developers into the same social integration UI flows that Desktop browsers have.

This class will show many different ways to connect your users with their friends, by using combinations of the new APIs available in our gaming device browsers. We will cover bump and simple gaming auto. Additionally we will unveil a new concept audio-signal auth to allow for seamless broadcast authorization.

I can haz C? A dive into Chrome Native Client

Chrome Native Client provides web developers with all the resources and power that Native App developers have. Using an API code named "Salt & Pepper", web developers can now inject C and C++ (with additional language support on the way) into the browser to achieve a whole world of webby goodness. The Native code is then run inside a double-sandboxed environment to provide end users with security.

Attendees of this course will walk away with an understanding of the HTML and JavaScript that they will need to know in order to begin mashing together web apps and native client code to build be best Chrome Apps.

Diving into Web Intents

The Web Intents API will allow users to mashup our website with other websites. It is an exciting new piece of the web platform. In this sessions we will go over setting up our own site to implement a Web Intent for our users.

The Web Intents API is new, and is still fluctuating. In this session we will talk about the different Intents available, and how we can register our site with one of those available intents.
