Event Driven Architecture
Loïc Faugeron (https://github.com/gnugat) When Node.Js (https://nodejs.org/en/) says "event-driven, non-blocking I/O", have you ever felt it was some sort of black magic? Well in this talk we'll make the magic go away (https://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2015/08/06/let-the-magic-die.html) by implementing our own simple HTTP server, Event Loop, Scheduler, Deferer/Promise and Thread Pool (http://screencrush.com/442/files/2016/02/deadpool-2-boyfriend-pic.jpg?w=720&cdnnode=1). Oh, Hi by the way! I'm Loïc (it's pronounced Low-ic), a "Lead Engineer" (read Lead Dev) at Constant Commerce (http://constant.co/). You'll find that Itweet (https://twitter.com/epiloic) and blog (http://gnugat.github.io/) a lot about tech. I aslo contribute a bit (https://github.com/gnugat) to FOSS projects.
