WIMP Meetup & Potluck:
Node.js: Why JavaScript sucks and you should use it everywhere
Meetup is FREE with a $5 suggested donation at the door. Help keep WIMP awesome.
Professional computer geek Dan Lyke will be presenting this month.
ABSTRACT
JavaScript is a necessary evil for web apps. Given that, how can NodeJS help us use JavaScript everywhere, on both clients and servers, to deploy higher quality software through code sharing, test driven development, and other best practices. No programming experience necessary.
OUTLINE:
1. Your project includes JavaScript because JavaScript is everywhere.
2. MVC - here's how applications are "supposed" to be structured.
3. A tangled mess - here's how web apps are actually structured.
4. Here's how JavaScript at all layers can help make that tangled mess more maintainable.
5. NodeJS can help you do that through:
- Test Driven Development (+mocha) (demo)
- Sharing code between Model and Controller (demo)
- Amazing frameworks (+meteor) (demo)
- Integrating NodeJS for other server apps (maybe demo)
- A few related technologies, or how Node.js can help you not write in JavaScript: CoffeeScript, C++/emscripten, TypeScript
