Presentation: In-browser code editing

Track: JavaScript / Time: Monday 14:30 - 15:20 / Location: Store Sal, Musikhuset

JavaScript-based text editors have come a long way in the past few years. In this talk, I will outline what is possible today, and show how several open-source implementations make it quick and painless to embed a serious editor in a Web application. I will then dive deeply into the techniques that are used to implement CodeMirror, my own project.
