DevMeetings are free workshops for advanced software developers. We come here to present to you Java guys the serverside usage of JavaScript. Many say JS is not a serious enviroment, but we’ll show a real-life case of how can you implement a complete backend functionality within hours.

JavaScript passionate, starting from language specific features like prototype-based
OOP-model, through performance tuning and architecture, to backend solutions
(Node.js), client/server communication (WebSockets) and development-process

lecture
node.js + websockets workshop
Node.js is a great tool for building extremely fast and scalable web servers.
It is based on the V8 JavaScript engine. You can simply advertise Node.js
with: "complete server in a few lines of code" and it will not be only a marketing lie.
The workshop will present you the details of construction and operating principles in
Node.js in a case study: live coding backend implementation for web fighting game.
The very essence of Server-side JavaScript coding.
We will look at issues of concurrency in endless event loop with non-blocking I/O,
module system in Node.js called CommonJS, high performance Sinatra style REST
library named ExpressJS. We will also discuss about Socket.io a cross-browser
WebSocket for realtime apps and how to easy implement persistent layer with
modules for MySQL or MongoDB.
In conclusion we will present current trends and future of Node.js.
Requirements
