Rethinking WebApps: noBackend

Abstract: 

This talk discusses the background and rationale for a noBackend approach, and demonstrates some existing projects and code samples implemented with noBackend frameworks.

 

This is an eye-opener for noBackend sceptics. It showcases the extreme flexibility and freedom a noBackend architecture gives to front-end developers and UX designers to build solutions faster, cheaper, better, and with fewer constraints.

John.Hammink's picture
John Hammink is the lead (and the first) Quality Engineer for Mozilla's Firefox OS/Boot to Gecko open source operating system for mobile devices. He has enjoyed working as a software quality engineer on start-up projects around the world which have eventually gained large-scale adoption as products. For example, John played a leading role in QA and Hardware Certification for Skype in Tallinn, Estonia as the product emerged in 2004 and later moved toward mainstream popularity in 2006. He was also one of the first Quality Engineers on F-Secure data security suite in Helsinki, Finland in the early 2000s. When not doing engineering work, he travels, speaks, writes, develops fractal-based art and animation, and plays music.
