20:00: One ring to rule them all
by Golo Roden
Making computers talk to each other over the network is simple: You have a server, and you have clients. But what if you want to make them talk to each other without having a server, more like ... coequal peers? What you need is a decentralized network that works autonomously, that can handle appearance and disappearance of arbitrary peers at any point in time, and that does not require a degree in rocket-science. Golo Roden will tell (and show!) you how to do that with pure JavaScript - and what you have to watch out for.
21:15: A Trip to the Zoo: SpiderMonkey, SquirrelFish, Nashorn, and V8
by Franziska Hinkelmann
Do you know how JavaScript engines work and why they are so blazingly fast?
Learn about the fundamentals like abstract syntax tree, opcodes, and just-in-time compilation. JavaScript code can be almost as fast as native C++ code. How do engines accomplish this? Lets look into optimization techniques including hidden classes, inline caching, and ahead-of-time compilation, which, if applied correctly, will give your code a turbo boost.
Understand the inner workings of JavaScript engines and learn by examples how to write faster code.
22:45: Close down of MNUG meetup

Talks starting at 8:00pm. Admission with beer & pizza from 7pm.
