Abstract - Mastering ESLint

Maintaining coding standards across large teams is a huge effort with big rewards. Existing tools like JShint and JSLint have primarily focused on code style and preventing major mistakes. Modern tools such as ESLint improve the landscape significantly by allowing teams to customize the ruleset and what is enforced for each team. I'll demonstrate how this works and how to write your own custom rules. By the end of this talk you should have some awesome new tools for preventing bugs!

Abstract - Background Jobs + Node.js: Async Processing for your Async Language

No matter what you web application does, it's likely that you can get value from having a background processing framework. With Node.js, there are a number of unique things we can do to handle jobs outside of the request cycle or get high parallelism from our singe event-loop thread. This talk will look at a number of approaches and philosophies to do just that!
