innerHTML's storied past, and HTML's shiny future by Paul Irish
The special relationship between your HTML markup and browsers is one more interesting than you'd think. In this talk, Paul will cover pedantic differences like "elements" vs "tags" but also get into what it means that HTML is both markup and a serialization but definitely not the DOM. You'll also learn shortcuts with HTML that save you time. In the end, you'll have a better understanding browser internals and how they interpret your work.
JavaScript World Domination, Day 5,935 by Brendan Eich
Thanks to browser competition combined with awesome JavaScript developer communities and github.com-focused code culture, JavaScript is evolving rapidly. The 6th edition of ECMAScript (ECMA-262), the JavaScript standard, is under construction. I will present what is in ES6 for sure, what is hot but not yet in, and what is already implemented in certain browsers whose names might start with 'C' and 'F'. As usual, I will also tell some history and try to paint the big picture.
