DWX13 sessions
At the conference, I had two sessions. You can find some information about them and the slides I used here.
Konkurrenzfähig in die Zukunft
In this session I was talking about things that companies, teams and individuals can do to stay competitive in the future. Slides: KonkurrenzfaehigInDieZukunft.pdf To stay competitive as a company, you should try to become better at delivering features quickly and to attract great developers. A focus on increasing software quality can help you with both.
You can find a much shorter version of this talk here:

Offline Web Applications
In this session, I showed how you can write web applications that still work when the user is offline. For this you need a way to cache resources (“Appcache”) and a way to store significant amounts of data at the client device (“IndexedDB”). Slides: OfflineWebApplications.pdf
Some time ago I wrote a series of blog posts about this topic, you might be interested in them too: Offline Web Applications
