By now, most developers have heard of Node.js — the dominant "server-side JavaScript engine" — but many still haven't worked with it. Come listen, learn, and play along as we explore the world of Node.
Attendees can expect answers to the following questions:
- What is Node, really?
- What is Node good for? What is Node exceptionally great for?
- Why should I care about Node? Isn't it only used by "hipster" startups? I work in the enterprise!
- How do I use Node?
- How should I structure my Node application?
- What is NPM? How do I use it?
- Is there an analogous Node module to my beloved "Library XYZ" for .NET (or other languages/runtimes)?
- Can I only use Node on the server-side?
- ...and so much more!
Attendees should have basic familiarity with the JavaScript language and how to use a command line (terminal).
