Talks

Things I Learned While Taking a New Team into Node.js

Joseph Heck (https://twitter.com/heckj) - Renasar Technologies (http://renasar.com/)

My team and I are all relatively new to Node.js, but not to communities. This talk is to share a retrospective of lessons learned, things I wish I’d known, a few “gotchas” and some interesting libraries that we’ve found while my whole team made the leap into Node.js and built a new product.

Joe is a founder and VP of Engineering at Renasar Technologies. Before starting Renasar, Joe was an early employee and VP of Engineering at Nebula, an early Project Technical Lead in OpenStack, and Director of Cloud and Automation at the Walt Disney Corporation.

Creating DSLs with (JavaScript) Object Literals

Federico Pereiro

Every application relies on several Domain Specific Languages: HTML templates, SQL schemas, configuration files, deployment scripts. In this talk, we will look at how we can use JavaScript’s object literals to create our own DSLs. Besides explaining the advantages of this approach, we will go through many examples, ranging from HTML generation to server provisioning. More importantly, we will discuss a couple of useful design patterns in case you want to write your own DSLs.

Federico is a full-stack JavaScript freelance developer and open source contributor. Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Federico is now taking his work on the road, which brings him to distant and exotic places like Seattle. Prior to this, he was a backend developer at Hinch.as and Inaka, and before that he worked as a financial analyst.

Scaling (breaking things) using Bitly’s NSQ and Node.js

Dudley Carr (http://moz.com/about/team/dudley) - Moz (http://moz.com/)

Bit.ly’s NSQ is an incredibly powerful way to process streams of data at scale. Moz has successfully used Bit.ly’s data to large scale collection of social data as well as use it for a pipeline of offline processing for Moz Local. The presentation will be partly about what NSQ is and what makes it unique, and how we used it in combination with NodeJS within Moz.

Dudley is the VP of Engineering at Moz focused on Moz Local. Dudley’s 2.5 yrs at Moz has been focused on incubating new products and extinguishing fires. Prior to Moz, I’ve done startups and worked at Google for 5 yrs on Google Voice and Chrome.
