Dr. Nodelove

or how I stopped worrying and learned to love JS

This talk will not...

  • Convince you JS is awesome
  • Convince you node.js is awesome
  • Serve you cake

This talk will...

  • Explain what node.js is exactly
  • Explain why matkins thinks it's awesome
  • Create lots of questions

Every node.js talk seems to want to apologize for JavaScript.

 

I won't.  JavaScript is great.

(It's easy to avoid the parts that aren't)

What even is node.js?

But wait, there's more

I'm not one to drop names, but...

Everything (I/O) is (or should be) a stream

(This is why rxjs and redux will likely beat promises)

What does that mean? ...
