NodeLabs: Intro to Node.js

Come join us, member of NodeKC or not, as we take an introductory look at Node.js.

On Friday (optional) from 7–9pm, we'll help setup your laptop for Saturday and get one-on-one time with your instructors in a free-format open house.

On Saturday from 9:30am–5:30pm, we'll learn Node.js in a lecture/recitation style, just like college. We’ll have instructors on-site to help with your questions. Lunch will be provided.

Cost: Free, ish. We're asking for a $10 deposit when you RSVP, which we'll refund to you upon showing up on Friday or Saturday. If you don't show up, you won't get your money back (we're not a fan of no-shows or wasting a good lunch!).

Who should attend? Those with little to no experience with Node.js but have a programming background. Obviously, you should be willing to learn.

What is Node.js? Node.js is a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime for building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses event-driven, non-blocking I/O that makes it efficient and perfect for data-intensive real-time distributed applications.
