Node.js Meetup #38 (free food and refreshments)

We're back at Contentful for this edition.

Lightning #1: create-awesome-package
Ever wanted to start a new open source project and publish to npm, standing on the shoulders of giants? Shahjada will give a short presentation of create-awesome-package, a CLI tool that will get you up and running quickly.

Lightning #2: thread-puddle
Do you remember that CPU-intensive tasks shouldn't run in your node server? With the arrival of worker-threads, it's now an option. Sebastian will present a simple but powerful library to turn any module into a worker thread and what kind of speed ups parallelization can bring.

Main Talk: Node.JS as a daemon
Victor will share in-depth how Doctolib uses Node.JS as a daemon to bridge the gap between website and native software running on the user’s desktop. The talk will cover various topics including calling native code in DLLs from Node.JS, GUI automation with AutoIT and distribution with Zeit’s PKG.
