How does streams

fit in?

What are streams?

Is it new idea?

And what is the problem?

Streams, streams everywhere

streams you know

const http = require('http');

const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.statusCode = 200;
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
  res.end('Hello World\n');
});

server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});

Node.js streams 101

By Michał Michalczuk

Create a presentation like this

Node.js streams 101

No matter what you are doing as front-end developer Node.js is everywhere and you won’t escape from it. On my presentation I will focus on steams - one of the basic, and often not understand, element of this environment. How they work and what benefit you will get by using them as intended.
