The open source web stack, dominated by JavaScript via Node.js these days, is a fast-paced and democratic platform. That makes it difficult to keep current on. Rest assured, capabilities are growing and there does exist an entry point for developer trying to learn to make apps – from hobby apps to enterprise scale. And we’re talking about web apps, of course, but also desktop, mobile, and even IoT. This makes it the only stack you can use to target an entire solution end-to-end without shifting gears and changing languages.

You’ll get to see a bit of…

• Node.js

• TypeScript

• Raspberry Pi

• Azure IoT Hub

• Visual Studio Code

• And more!
