Node.js takes asynchronous programming to a new level and has tracked the rise of new approaches to managing complex program flows. And if this floats your boat, you need to get along to the Engineering Track at Web Directions 2014.
At its best, server-side asynchronous programming has a significant pay-off: a blazing fast and highly scalable back-end. However, it’s not for the faint-hearted. Like what you see? Want a piece of the action next time around? Then get along to Web Directions South in Sydney October 24 and 25 2013.
In just 30 months, node.js has gone from an obscure toy to the most watched development platform on GitHub. Once the next stable version ships, significant focus will move to improving the community-driven ecosystem of modules, making it easier to navigate and contribute. In this talk, Jed will introduce the two faces of NPM, the official node.js package manager: NPM the ecosystem, for finding existing modules and developing and publishing your own modules, and NPM the tool, for managing and streamlining node.js workflows for your own projects.
Web Directions South is the must-attend event of the year for anyone serious about web development
