Presentation


Overview

Note that this workshop is offered on the pre-event workshop day on Thurs Nov 8 and therefore is only available to those who have ‘The Works’ or the ‘Workshop’ ticket.

The internet is here to stay, and for better or for worse, most of the technologies that make it possible.

LESS, SASS and other CSS preprocessors have innovated the workflow to create dynamic stylesheets. What if there was a new way to write Javascript?

Haxe is an innovative programming language that does not discard the ECMAScript syntax of Javascript, but extends it. What if you code editor could provide fast and reliable code completion and error checking? What if you could have classes, interfaces, macros, strong types and other language features, while still supporting every browser from Internet Explorer to Safari?

Come learn how easy (and familiar) it can be to use the Haxe programming language, and how powerful it can be for your most advanced projects. We will also illustrate how Haxe can work with popular Javascript libraries like jQuery and Sencha Touch.
