Control Flow Techniques, Node at Walmart, and Package Show and Tell

You must register with your full name on the day before the meetup, at the latest. Otherwise, you won't be able to get past security.

IcedCoffeeScript and TameJs - Wes McClure (http://www.wesmcclure.com) (@ (https://twitter.com/g0t4)g0t4 (https://twitter.com/g0t4))

Verbose asynchronous programming in javascript can be frustrating. This talk focuses on alternatives to the pyramid of doom. We'll look at await/defer CPS transforms with IcedCoffeeScript (http://maxtaco.github.com/coffee-script/)/TameJS (https://github.com/maxtaco/tamejs) and streamline, control flow libraries, backcalls and promises. We'll cover some evaluation criteria for the solutions to this problem, including how the new C# 5 await/async syntax fares. Hopefully this talk can help keep a few more hairs on your head as you explore the wonderful world of asynchronous javascript programming!

A Year Later... Node at Walmart

What does it take to deploy Node successfully at large companies? What's the sweet spot use case? And how to apply the "Node way" to software engineering at enterprise environments? We'll talk about how Node is being used at Walmart, the 'hapi' Node framework, and some lesson learned from a year of experimentation.
