Setting the Stage for Node Summit

Node @NASA

The story of the first Node.js enterprise architecture at NASA including the circumstances that led to this architecture and what problems Node.js is solving for NASA. This includes lesson’s about migrating from monolithic application architectures to a modern micro-services/solution, while maintaining the day to day operations of the NASA Extravehicular Activity Office.

The Future of Node.js

The core Node.js project has managed to combine an energetic pace of development with the stability expected by large Enterprises as they flock to this exciting platform. Rod will explore key challenges and opportunities, both technical and organizational, and attempt to chart a future for Node.js.

Node.js at Disney

Node has been growing in popularity at Disney over the last several years, but not without challenges. Learn how new technology like Node gets adopted at Disney, and get a peak into some examples of how Node is being used today.

To Err Is Human

Error objects should have a place in your utility belt. They are indispensable when it comes to managing work flows in a highly asynchronous environment. This talk covers patterns for using JavaScript Error (capital E) objects to build resilient applications, and introduces some modules that can be used to build errors with an elegant history of stack traces. Try/catch, callbacks, and other error handling mechanisms will be examined, revealing some potential deficiencies in the JavaScript language for dealing with errors.

Microservices in Seconds

The complexity of containerization has really been about the complexity of orchestrating distributed applications. But what is orchestration, really, and why are we still struggling with it when building Node.js applications? See a wholly new approach to orchestration, one that’s application-centric and developer-forward. This isn’t an orchestration product, it’s a repeatable pattern that can be implemented to containerize and orchestrate any Node.js app.

Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking. Just a moment.

For many developers, the mere mention of the word “process” stirs up Office Space-esque nightmares. I used to be like this. Then I made peace with the process gods, realizing they truly are here to help us. Come learn how to make your team happier and more efficient by improving your Node development, testing, deployment, and monitoring process.

Emerging Web Application Architectures

While Node.js is becoming the platform of choice for web-scale applications, enterprises are resistant to change and have legacy applications based on other technologies, typically Java. Emerging web application architectures bring together the web-scale and integrated browser characteristics of Node.js with the transactional nature of Java to deliver high-performance, engaging web applications. Learn how the complimentary characteristics of Node.js and Java are being used to build the next generation of web applications.

Hear from a companies deploying large scale Node.js applications and some of the new start-ups trying to make these applications more secure

Re-Inventing a Legacy Infrastructure Product with Node

How we woke up and found out that our developers suffering from node-rush-fever had helpfully installed ~23 instances of node into TMOS (F5 Traffic Management Operating System) and what they were doing with them.

Node.js Community Panel

The Node.js community continues to grow and evolve. Hear from some of the people who are helping make it a critical part of the success of Node.js.

Specialization with Dynamic React Forms

Hear about PayPal’s merchant onboarding node.js app and how it scaled to 180+ countries with different requirements in each part of the world. Also learn about F0, an in-house dynamic React form library driven by metadata, followed by a controller hook system, put in place to inject business logic into specific experiences, and how it provides isolated places in the code base to do template specialization programmatically.

LUNCH BREAK Sponsored by: Rally Ventures

Containers. Microservices. Node.js

Two words that currently cause VC’s to go into a tizzy without understanding why. Hear from some experts who are deploying microservices applications in containers using Node.js, what is working well and what challenges remain.

Leveraging Node.js Across the IoT Landscape

From consumer, to healthcare to industrial we are seeing a massive change driven by what IoT enables. Node.js is a common thread among a highly disparate range of IoT use cases. Learn what makes Node.js an important part of the IoT tsunami and how to leverage the benefits it provides to a wide range of applications.

Node.js Everywhere

Node’s continued adoption inside IT organizations has shown no signs of slowing in 2016. But how are people using it and more importantly, why? Joe McCann, CEO of NodeSource, for years has been speaking about the advantages that businesses gain by carefully adopting and integrating Node.js and will bring front and center the current state of Node.js and how it is enabling enterprises to move faster without sacrificing quality of security.

Speaker:

Let’s Make a Package Manager! (From First Principles)

Programming language package managers are ubiquitous but just what goes into writing one? In this talk we will go from simple to complex and explore how new features can have surprisingly wide ranging impacts on the architecture. This talk draws on npm for inspiration for what features to discuss, but does not require any specific knowledge of it.

Increasing the Candidate Pool with Developer Bootcamps

Developer bootcamps promise to take people who don’t know “Hello World” and turn them into full fledged programmers in a few months.
