About Code
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) first saw the light of day at Code 2015, when Alex Russell, their originator, first outlined the then weeks old concept.
Since 2015, the Web platform has increased in sophistication, with new capabilities and APIs. Web Apps are increasingly closer to being first class citizens on platforms like Android and even iOS.
Code focusses on developing these apps, and the Web platform as a whole. We'll cover browser APIs, as well as patterns and best practices for developing sophisticated web applications.
Who's it for?
Whether you call yourself a coder, a programmer a developer or engineer, if your job is to build and deliver robust, fast, secure, engaging web experiences, Code is for you.
Code is for front end engineers: JavaScript, Fullstack and Web developers, engineering leads, engineering managers, devops experts, CTOs.
Real World Knowledge
Now in its 10th year, Code is carefully curated by John Allsopp, whose deep knowledge of the Web over two decades as a developer, author and speaker ensures a program of genuine relevance and value.
Our program routinely features members of the W3C's Technical Architecture Group, ECMA TC39 (the JavaScript standards committee) and others shaping the foundations of the Web. Past speakers have included Alex Russell (inventor of Progressive Web Apps), Nicole Sullivan (OOCSS), Rachel Nabors, Barbara Bermes, Domenic Denicola and many more).

Re-imagined as remote-only
In response to the unique challenges of COVID-19 we transformed our conferences into remote-first events. But we wanted to go beyond what most online events delvier.
Building on the extensive work we've done with our conference presentation platform Conffab, Code re-imagined from the ground up the conference experience, not just port the traditional conference to the Web.
With a focus on highly engaging, expertly filmed and edited, screen-oriented presentations, alongside spaces to connect, communicate and keep in touch with everything around the conference, you'll be immersed as if you were there–maybe even more so.

How is Code held?
Most online conferences run just like in-person conferences–one or two jam-packed days, of live streamed presentation. But with so many folks working remotely, and spending so much of their day in front of a screen we felt it was imperative to rethink this, and do something differently.
Hosted on our own purpose built platform, like all our online events, Code takes place over 2 consecutive Fridays, in September 2022. Each sessions runs around 4 hours (with a bit of downtime built-in), Plus each session runs 3 times so wherever you are in the world, you can participate along with your peers, from the comfort of your own home (or maybe office).

We have diversity scholarships available for all our events. These provide full attendance just like any other attendee. We don't draw attention to those who have received a scholarship, but do look to make connections between them, and with our diversity sponsors, to help ensure the most valuable possible experience.
Our Scholarships focus on people who are unemployed, under-employed, self employed or in the early stages (up to 3 years) of their careers who identify as belonging to a group or groups under-represented at events like ours, and who might otherwise find it difficult to afford to attend.
