I Just Did a Node

This time we'll be having the long awaited meetup about Node.js.

Introduction To Node.js - (Ran Mizrahi)

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome V8 javascript runtime engine for building fast and scalable, non-blocking, real-time and network applications. In this session Ran will introduce node.js and how to develop large code bases using it. He'll cover the following aspects:

• What is node.js?

• Apache vs. Nginx performance (One thread per connection vs. event loop) and what it has to do with node.js.

• Why node was written in Javascript?

• Main tools and frameworks (Express, socket.io, mongoose etc.)

• TDD/BDD with node.js using mocha and expect.js

Callback Hell Awaiting ES6 Heaven - Promises! (Gil Tayar)

A Node.js talk about current and future strategies of dealing with async code.
We'll move from the standard callback, to promises, and from there to es6 generators that yield promises and finally to the es7 async/await. The progression will be a buildup, where each step is explained in terms of the previous step.
