Trying to implement complex logic that combines multiple event streams, AJAX requests, callbacks, and timers? Functional Reactive Programming can help. This presentation will describe how FRP relates to other programming concepts, present a couple of demos, and talk about different frameworks that can be used to do FRP.
2) Scaling Server-Side Javascript
Julian Lam
Visiting from Toronto, Julian is the co-founder of NodeBB, a node-based community forum software re-designed from the ground up for the modern web. Julian will share some real-life wisdom about scaling Node applications with us:
• Myths and Misconceptions about Node.js - no, Node doesn’t scale by itself
• Division of Responsibility - easy tricks to get the most out of scaling Node
• Case Study: NodeBB vs. Hashtalk.org
