Node.js: Why JavaScript Sucks And You Should Use It Everywhere - WIMP

YouTube Excerpt: This WIMP meetup talk in May 2014, with self-proclaimed Professional Computer Geek Dan Lyke of Sonic.net in Santa Rosa, presenting about how Node.js brings the promise of JavaScript to every corner of your software stack consistently, and shows some magic demos to boot! 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 About Dan Lyke A former professional whitewater guide, and current computer geek, Dan has credits in blockbuster films, bestselling games, has written code that is in consumer products that have touched your life, was a "blogger" before that term was coined, and aspires to being a square dance caller. He wrote his first HTML browser in 1993, started an ISP shortly afterwards, worked at Pixar, on the Cricut family of products, is handy with a soldering iron, and relaxes by building wooden boats using hand tools in under 3 hours.
