Invited Talk

Web *.o: Simplifying Web Programming

By: Dr. Nishant Sinha
Time: Saturday, 21st Mar, 10:00
Venue: Lecture Hall, B Block
Abstract:
Programming modern, interactive web apps is hard owing to multiple challenges: gluing together multiple mismatched web technologies, ubiquity of dynamically typed languages, heterogeneous mobile platforms and rapid evolution of frameworks and tools. In this talk, I will discuss a set of core programming abstractions which can help drastically simplify modern web programming, thus allowing the developer to focus on the core app design. Time permitting, I will also overview a few other emerging areas of PL/systems research.
