These peculiarities can be confusing and frustrating, especially for beginners. However, most of these behaviors aren't random or senseless—they stem from historical decisions, compromises, and attempts to handle various use cases. In this talk, we'll explore some of JavaScript's most notorious quirks, exploring their reasoning. We'll cover topics like type coercion, truthy/falsy values, equality comparisons, variable scope and hoisting, the typeof operator, and prototypal inheritance. If you understand the 'why' behind the 'what,' you will be better equipped to write clean, predictable JavaScript code and avoid common pitfalls. Whether you're a JavaScript beginner or an experienced developer, you'll walk away with valuable insights into the language's inner workings. + diff --git a/_meetups/2024-07-16-meetup.md b/_meetups/2024-07-16-meetup.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..fed829d3 --- /dev/null +++ b/_meetups/2024-07-16-meetup.md @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ +--- +layout: meetup +title: "Getting Started with Passkeys and WebAuthn" +slides: +video: +speakers: + - name: Lucas Castro + title: + avatar: https://lucasamonrc.dev/me.jpg + bio: + email: + homepage: https://lucasamonrc.dev/ + twitter: + github: lucasamonrc + linkedin: lucasamonrc +sponsor: cloudflare +venue: cloudflare +after: lazarus +organizers: + - joahg +--- + +Passwords are vulnerable and frustrating for users. Passkeys promise a seamless and secure authentication future. But understanding the concepts and implementing them into your web application can feel daunting. + +In this talk, we'll break down the fundamentals of passkeys, including the WebAuthn specification and the benefits they provide. You'll learn how to set up a simple WebAuthn server, handle registration and authentication flows, and navigate the practical aspects of implementing passkeys in your application. We will cover just enough ground for you to get started and lay out a passkey foundation to be built upon.
