TypeScript lets you write JavaScript the way you really want to. TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript. With an expressive and gradual type system, TypeScript aims at streamlining large scale JavaScript application development and increasing developer productivity. We’ve also seen the community take this and create a number of projects, including one of the largest repositories of JavaScript API documentation available. The session will be a guided...

Augmented Reality is everywhere. It is a hot and powerful topic. Everyone is doing it: Facebook with Occulus Rift, Microsoft with Hololens, Google with google glass or DAQRI with the Smart Helmet. We wanted to experiment with Augmented Reality on the web as well. That's how WebAR was born, an open source project which does Augmented Reality using web standards. We were wondering how far we could push the technology...the good news is that we can go pretty far! First, we succeeded on making...
