greeklover: Thanks for the giveaway and have a great conference. Do you work for Daedalic Entertainment by any chance? Asking because it's a German company and I see many of its games in the giveaway.

In for Grim Dawn

MadalinStroe: Thank you for the giveaway, DanielRuf! I hope you enjoy the conference. +1

I'm in for Freespace 2.

enterJS apparently is Enterprise JavaScript, whatever that means, because the site is in Chinese. I mean, I know what JavaScript is, I've used it a lot recently. But what does the Enterprise JavaScript mean? From what I can tick-tock with the help of google it's just a fangled marketing name. Is it a "best practices" set of rules for using javascript in the enterprise environment?

VeTrack: Just curious, are you there as an exhibitor or speaker?

Also, trying my luck on Doom 3: BFG Edition.

gogtrial34987: Ooh, you got Chris Heilmann as the opening keynote. Haven't seen him speak since he transferred to Microsoft, but he's generally one of my favorite inspirational speakers. Hope he was in fine form this morning!

The conference is a bit too German-heavy and framework-heavy for me to consider, but it does look interesting. Hope you'll have a great time!

If you don't end up giving it away at the conference, I'd like to be in for Grim Dawn.

dtgreene: I would be interested in talking about programming on this forum (even though it really isn't ideal for this purpose due to lack of a good way to preserve the formatting of code samples).

I'm in for the empty list of games. (In other words, I'm not in for this giveaway.)

Does the conference touch at all about misuses of JavaScript and when not to use it?

Some of the main problems with JavaScript use in the browser, as I see it, are the following:
* Sites relying on JavaScript for basic functionality. Such functions should either not rely on JavaScript (preferable), or if that's not realistic, at least provide alternatives. (There's a reason the HTML noscript tag exists.)
* Very often, JavaScript on websites depends on external sources; this is the main reason, I believe, that web pages use far more bandwidth than they ought to. There's also the problem that languages that compile to JavaScript often output code (or have dependencies) that are far larger than the original JavaScript.
* (Probably others, but I can't think of them right now.)

Edit: Also, don't forget the "left-pad" fiasco, which is another case of an unnecessary dependency. (That module is small enough that you should probably just include the code in your project directly instead of depending on it, and is something that maybe belongs in the standard library (Python3 has str.rjust(), for example).

pkk234: Hello, thanks for this huge giveaway!
I'm no programmer, but enjoy the conference! What do y'all talk about?

I'd like to be in for The Witcher 3 GOTY.

DanielRuf: Keep in mind that there are bundles (separated by empty lines) and this is just one code then.

ciemnogrodzianin: They've probably drinked a lot of coffee - and it's probably the only thing they have in common with Java developers :)

greeklover: When you go to the redeem page and try the code for the bundle(you can check it by entering code, doing the captcha and then press cancel) , can you choose which games to redeem from the bundle by checking some squares? If yes, then we can split the big bundles so that more people get games. For example, you can send the bundle code to person 1,he redeems game 1, then you pass the same code to person 2, he redeems game 2 from the remaining games etc. This is done in the gog community giveaway and there is trust in general that one person will redeem only the games he won or else he ends in the scammers' list. And if not, you can always ask gog support to help with breaking a bundle.

Asbeau: So how was it? Are you absolutely full of Java now? :)

I'd like to throw my hat in for a chance at The Witcher 3 if I may. Thanks for your extreme generosity to the community.
