CityJS Conference is a JavaScript festival across London jointly run from London's JavaScript meetups.
Developers no longer have the monopoly on making computers do their bidding. The rise of low-code solutions and visual builder tools is empowering a whole generation of new developers to bring their ideas to life with only a little coding knowledge.Far from putting us out of a job, these tools could be useful to us as well! In this session, I will introduce you to NodeRED, a JavaScript-based open-source low-code tool. We’ll look at the basics of getting started, the tasks NodeRED is really good at, and how you can extend the NodeRED platform.
With all our super powers combined, we can create solutions to have a positive and lasting impact in the open source world. In this talk, we will see how the combination of different disciplines, such as web development, IoT and connectivity, has had and will continue to have a positive impact on people’s lives. We will discuss diabetes monitoring with Flask, expanding to IoT and connectivity with WisBlock and LoRaWan and how we can contribute to open source and make a difference for everyone. Everything counts for open source and to use the technology forever.
"You can’t anticipate everything that’s going to change in the software but you can try to build in enough flexibility that it’s likely to adapt to most changes" Application architecture defines the way we develop, modularise, test, scale, and maintain our application. A good architecture allows us to deal with never-ending stream requirements by providing enough flexibility and solid protection against regression. Igor will introduce the concept of Clean Architecture in the context of Android Development, discuss it's benefits, helps you understand how Clean Architecture fits into modern Android application development.
ASP.NET and its cousin ASP.NET Core have long been dominant and intuitive tools for us to build our Web Applications. There's always friction when moving between the front and back ends, though, as we need to leave our comfortable .NET environment to add the logic to our web pages. We've had a hard dependency on Javascript, and all the flaws and warts that go along with it. With the advent of Blazor, we can start to move past this. In this talk, we'll be exploring Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly and discussing how we can begin building the Frontends of our web applications without Javascript!

OpenAPI is a standard for creating a very detailed and machine-readable description of your API. Once you have that, the machines can use it to create all sorts of goodness. This session will focus on how generated SDKs can fit into a Developer Experience strategy, enabling users to generate code for their own use, or going a step further and curating captivating libraries with accurate, maintainable, generated code at its core. We'll look at some examples, and some occasions when the fairy tale may not be all we hoped it would be. This session is recommended for anyone with an interest in Developer Experience for APIs.
Learn how to accept incoming calls and respond with both a pre-recorded MP3 file and synthesised speech. In this project, we learn about Serverless using Netlify Functions, and utilizing Airtable as a database. The final project is a phone line which users can call to hear today’s MP3 ‘thought of the day’, with a fallback message read if there isn’t a recording for today.
In this workshop, we'll build a serverless video application with Node.js, MongoDB, Netlify Functions and the Vonage Video API. It is suitable for those with little (but some) JavaScript knowledge.
Open API Specification is a machine and human readable way to describe APIs. From these specs we can generate documentation, create libraries, and ensure that our users know exactly what to expect from our APIs. This talk shows you around OAS from the beginning, showing how to create the specs and recommending some tools to help the process. Once you have the spec, things get interesting and this talk will showcase some of the things that you can offer once your API is described in this way.
Join us as we learn from Geppetto's Guide to Living Puppets and build an animatronic puppet that mimics our movements using the Vonage Video API, Azure Functions, Particle IoT devices and yes, an animatronic puppet.
In this talk, we will discuss the art of technical writing and how to turn an application into a tutorial for others to create as well. We’ll cover how to artfully explain the reasoning behind your technical choices so that the reader can clearly understand the development process while considering factors such as audience, tone, scale, and best practices to reach potential readers.
We live in a world that is powered by APIs. OpenAPI is a specification and set of related tooling that can make it easy to design, describe, and help build an API in many different languages. See how easy it is to hit the ground running using OpenAPI, Spotlight, and OpenAPI Generator to drop in an API into any project.
In this talk, we’ll learn how to use the Firebase toolset with Vonage API to build communication solutions.

In this talk, we’ll go over how to build a machine learning model in order to detect spam SMS messages. We’ll go over how to train a model and build an SMS application using the Vonage SMS API that allows you to send a message, and respond with the prediction of that text (spam or not spam) using an Amazon Lambda function.
In this session, we will talk about flask. How much of a "microframework" it really is, and how extensible it can be. It is as simple (or complex) as you decide! Let's see where all the superpowers of this awesome "microframework" come from and how "micro" it really is.
Computer Vision is revolutionizing the world around us. It's ubiquitous, yet the entry points are opaque and can be a bit daunting to understand. This talk will break down these barriers as we cover some of the basics of Computer Vision in .NET - edge detection, facial detection, feature tracking, and some basic image projection using OpenCV in .NET.
In this session, we will do a general overview of Web Components. We will go over what they are and who uses them. There will be an example of how a Web Component can be included in different JavaScript frameworks. Lastly, we will show what it takes to make a simple one.
Low-code solutions are on the rise and visual builder tools are opening up creation to a wide range of users. In this session, we’re going to look at low-code tools like Node-RED and Zapier, what they have to offer, and whether they have a place in a developer’s toolkit.
Michael Jolley discusses how every project a developer works on is unique, using various frameworks and tooling and how requiring developers to identify & install these dependencies clutters their machine, increases on-boarding time for new team members, and increases potential security threats. Learn how using Visual Studio Code Remote Development to perform all development work inside “throw-away” Docker containers prevents the need to install third-party frameworks & tooling; use standardised development Docker images to ensure a consistent development experience and speed up on-boarding; and attach to and debug code running in existing containers.

Flexbox, Grid and Box Alignment are the cornerstones of modern CSS layouts. They introduce behaviours that might seem confusing if you don’t completely understand how the browser inteprets the CSS values you assign, e.g. sizing with Flexbox, or the various options for sizing tracks in Grid. This talk will explain a variety of modern CSS layout techniques through live demonstrations via DevTools, and provide real-world use cases of how such techniques allow designs to better adapt across a broad range of viewports.
When using WebSockets to communicate between your server and the client every new browser context–tab, window, iframe, and so on–is likely to create another WebSocket connection. All these open connections can quickly take a toll on your server resources, or if you’re using a PaaS which charges for each connection, it could quickly add up to a big bill. In this talk, we’ll look at how you can use SharedWorkers to create a single persistent WebSocket which can be used by every browser context to communicate with your Django Channels WebSocket server
