PRO WORKSHOP: Demystifying JavaScript Package Managers: (p)npm, Yarn, and Beyond

Tuesday February 11, 2025 12:00pm - 12:50pm PST

Lukasz Pater, CERN, Software Engineer

As JavaScript continues to dominate web development, effective package management has become essential for navigating the increasing complexity of modern applications. This talk dives into the mechanics of three leading JavaScript package managers—npm, Yarn, and pnpm—shedding light on their distinct approaches to dependency management, performance, and disk space optimisation. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how each tool handles node_modules, along with their advantages, trade-offs, and guidance on choosing the right package manager for any project.

We’ll also take an in-depth look at package.json, the core of every JavaScript project. Beyond just listing dependencies, this file offers powerful features like scripts, peer dependencies, versioning strategies, and more to help streamline project management. In addition to package management, the session will explore the JavaScript module ecosystem, its inherent challenges, and how package managers simplify—or complicate—the process of module loading.

Finally, we’ll cover advanced topics like zero-install setups, workspaces, polyglot tools, the impact of package managers on DevOps workflows, along with emerging players like Bun, Deno, and Yarn Berry.

PRO WORKSHOP: Web-ifying AI: The Power of TensorflowJS

Tuesday February 11, 2025 12:00pm - 12:50pm PST

Manan Bedi, Paytm, Business Analyst, GenAI

AI is the most hyped topic in the current tech industry, especially with the advent of LLMs and GenAI. But never to forget, JavaScript is still one of the most used and popular programming languages among Software Engineers. TensorflowJS is one such framework through which we can build AI Applications using JavaScript. The session will explore using TensorflowJS to build amazing AI-enabled applications using a pre-trained CocoSSD Model. We will also dive into creating Neural Networks from Scratch using the framework.
We will understand the Client Side and Server Side powers both and how TensorflowJS utilizes both.
Additionally, we will also do a hands-on to build a Smart WebCam to identify objects with high accuracy along with the frontend built using HTML and CSS.
Hence, it would be a great opportunity to understand and implement AI in our projects using our favorite language: JavaScript.
