ABSTRACT

Presented by Ryan Dahl, the creator of the node.JS open source project.

It is well known that event loops rather than threads are required for high-performance servers. Javascript is a language unencumbered of threads and designed specifically to be used with synchronous evented I/O, making it an attractive means of programming server software.

Node.js ties together the V8 Javascript compiler with an event loop, a thread pool for making blocking system calls, and a carefully designed HTTP parser to provide a browser-like interface to creating fast server-side software. This talk will explain Node's design and how to get started with it.

    Awesome presentation about an awesome piece of software. Ryan is real presenter, true to himself who cares about the content of the message, not the medium. He brings deep knowledge of Javascript, Unix and networks. His presentation can be summarized as 'no fluff, just stuff' about super efficiency a server-side scripting language. Keep it up Ryan.

    Amazing guy, brilliant technology, unfortunately his presentations are very hard to watch. It isn't because I can't understand it, but because he doesn't have a fluid speech and I found it very hard to follow . I will stick with the documentation and html tutorials for now. But great technology nevertheless

    Watch the video for it's content, this is not a Toastmasters video, so just skip over any of his "uums", he has something worth sharing, so be grateful that he is sharing his thoughts. Thanks Ryan!

    I was going to disagree with you until I woke up in a pool of my own saliva.

    There's an incorrection on the presentation slides, on the 1st node example. It should be s.on and not net.on
