Abstract

Node is a hot topic in the software development industry. The general reaction is "hey, that's cool, but what does this do for me?" Jason will show some practical examples of how you might want to use Node within your own organization. The presentation will be framed for the .NET developer perspective so that you'll know when Node may be the right technology choice.

 

Topics Covered:

* Basic architecture & philosophy behind Node

* Getting started

* Creating a web server in 60 seconds

* Node package manager

* Debugging

* Building web pages

* Overview of companion frameworks such as Express, Knockout.js, Node.io, & Underscore

* Ideas for other uses of Node

 

Note: It is recommended that you watch the introduction to Node.js on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo_B4LTHi3I) by Ryan Dahl, creator of Node.
