Haxe
US-Summit
2019
May 8-10 @ Seattle
JOIN US!
The US Haxe Summit is a three day event which will take place in Seattle in May 2019. It is the main Haxe Community Event in the US and a great meeting spot for the people who create Haxe, people who work with it or people who are new to Haxe and want to explore it.
We will have a mix of presentations and workshops about topics ranging from game development with Haxe to things you can get up to on the Web.
Join us to:
- meet the people who create the Haxian tech you are using
- connect with other developers who may know a thing or two about Haxe that you don’t
- get a fresh boost of inspiration and motivation.
And all of that even before the conference party has worked its magic.
See you soon!

"It is an experience sharing session on the journey of building Giffon, a crowd-gifting platform where you can state what you want and let your friends collectively buy it as a gift for you.
I will describe how did I wire up services (Stripe, Amazon, Facebook etc.) and programming tools (MySQL, HTML/JS, Node, Python etc.) with Haxe and got it running on AWS Lambda."
-
Learn the basics of Haxe by writing a simple game together. Discover what makes Haxe so powerful in cross-platform development. This hand-on workshop is designed for absolute Haxe beginners. Participates should have some coding experience (in other languages) though. Remember to bring a laptop (and a geeky friend if possible).

Hugh Sanderson
Hugh has been developing the Hxcpp target and Nme library for over 10 years (with some breaks in between!). Currently, he is a Senior Developer & Researcher at SplitMediaLabs, developing and implementing real-time video analysis software, and a freelance programmer developing machine learning algorithms for the mining industry. He likes going for walks in the park and sitting on benchmarks.

This talk will cover recent changes to hxcpp in the lead up to haxe version 4, as well as a look at how I got there and where I might be going. A bit like the Dickensian Christmas Carol, but without the turkey. And with computers. Actually, maybe it will be more like Back To The Future, but without the DeLorean. Or a hoverboard. Well, you get the picture.

Ryan Davis
I'm a very enthusiastic, passionate software engineer with almost ten years' experience. I've done a lot of web development projects working on both the server-side as well as the front-end stuff, and more recently have branched into more complex and exciting systems-engineering projects. I've been using Haxe avidly for over five years, and have fallen in love with the language.

I'll go through how I, an open-source Haxian who was working on a media player application came to the conclusion that I should build my own embedded database engine. After that bit, I'll move forward explaining why Haxe was the best tool for the job and how it's enabling me to write the engine to be impressively fast/flexible. Closing out, I'll explore how this may be a case study for Haxe's potentially enormous potential within certain categories of development for which it's almost never used.

David Hamiter and Alex Rothman
David and Alex are business partners and recent adopters of Haxe. They are currently undertaking a full port of the codebase for their mature cardiology software product. Alex has been coding professionally for 25 years, focusing mostly on development for the Windows desktop. He's a passionate bit twiddler, wading bravely into the tall grass of systems programming, GPU computation, and CPU architectures. David is the co-founder of a medical software company who has been coding in Flash and ActionScript since the mid-90's when they were called FutureSplash and Actions. He is also madly into puppetry, making music, drawing/painting, generative/interactive art, physics, and hanging out with his son.

David and Alex will discuss why they decided to port a Windows .NET control that's been in deployment for nearly a decade to Haxe/OpenFL. They will cover in detail their action-packed journey and accompanying struggles. Starting with no knowledge of the technology stack, they're working to host a fully featured graphical application in a .NET wrapper that exposes a rich external API.

Randy Maxwell
Dilettante of life, auto didact, known to do midnight engineering.
Currently dangerous with: Open Source forGL, Haxe, C++, slight HTML.
30+ years dangerous with: ASM, C/C++, Python, Java, C#, from embedded to N-Tier for internal use to publicly sold products.
Still having Fun coding new stuff.

forGL is an application that allows people to program computers without knowing English OR Programming. English knowledge is OK also :)
Will show demo, screen shots, some talk of approaches used, future directions.
Words in their own language are edited in a Dictionary and then run as a program with output and debugging. European languages supported now. More languages perhaps by May.

Has this ever happened to you? You have crafted the most beautiful UI that has all the right information arranged in the most elegant way, when suddenly, the user clicks around in the most unexpected way and before you know it the UI and application states are two worlds apart. Then you need to build your UI in a declarative way and leave the tedious details of making this declaration come alive to the machine.
-
Building on the ideas and tools presented in the talk about declarative UI programming, we'll build a UI heavy application from scratch, to see them applied in a little more depth.
