NodeTalk: Getting the Most from v1.0
The v1.0 release is going to be a big deal for the community, and it’s in everyone’s best interest to know how to implement their programs in the most effective way. Version 0.13 is dedicated to improving performance, so practices that were used in previous versions may no longer be optimal when v1.0 is released. This NodeTalk will step through internal changes and outline differences in behavior, and with each show simple examples of how they can be used in practice.

NodeTalk: Riding the N(ode) Train
Driving Groupon’s business to the next level is the move from Ruby on Rails to Node.js. The step to node is part of I-Tier, a larger project that will allow Groupon to horizontally scale applications by moving towards a service oriented architecture and to a more performant stack to serve web requests. As Groupon continues to converge, connect and globalize, Node.js will continue to play an important role in the technology transformation that will drive Groupon forward. This Nodetalk will share key learning’s and major takeaways from these efforts and outline the resulting business impact.

NodeTalk: Monolithic Systems Engineering with Node.js
Enterprise software teams are starting to understand and embrace the power of Node.js. They face a serious challenge: Integrating Node.js into the legacy systems they maintain and then migrating these systems over time into Node.js architectures. This talk is a pathfinder for those facing these challenging tasks. This talk will also cover how we, as a community, must proactively engage with the Java and .Net communities, and create a deeper understanding of the “Node.js Way”

NodeTalk: Bulletproof Node
One of the many beauties of node is the simplicity and elegance. However, virtually all Node applications and services are plagued with a lack of fault tolerance that more mature platforms handle out of the box. What if, with as little as one line of code, and a narly npm package, we can turn any node app into Bulletproof Node?

NodeTalk: Release the Kraken: A Story of Node.js in the Enterprise
A case study in how PayPal revitalized its tech stack by moving from Java, JSP and proprietary solutions to a Node.js web application stack with dust.js templating. Developer agility was our primary motivation, but along the way we had to tackle enterprise culture and teach people that JavaScript is no longer a “toy”, but a powerful tool to wield.

Big Data and Node.js
We couldn’t resist putting “Big Data” and “Node.js” in the same title (it’s SEO gold!). Apparently a bunch of people can’t resist actually leveraging one to make the other a reality. These people help make it all possible.

Reflections on Three Years of Node.js in Production
While Joyent is well-known as the steward of Node.js, we are also one of its earliest adopters, having deployed Node.js-based services in production starting over three years ago. In this talk, we will describe our Node.js odyssey, including the challenges, the battle scars and the victories — and how our experiences have informed our stewardship of Node.js. We will detail why Node.js remains the right tool for so many of our jobs, discussing in particular the implementation of our new Manta storage service. We will outline our best practices for developing and deploying Node.js-based systems, and our view of the future of Node.js in production.

NodeTalk: Solving the Four Problem Categories of Web Development with the MEAN Stack
If you’re building a new web application, the problems that you run into generally fit into one of four categories: (1) Prototyping: I want to build something quickly, (2) Adapting: I want to be able to easily iterate on my code base, (3) Testing: I want to make sure that the app works and (4) Scaling: I want to utilize server resources efficiently. This NodeTalk will provide a high-level overview of how the MEAN stack, and in particular Node.js and npm, solve each of these pain points.

NodeTalk: Node.js, APIs, Apps and Data: A Perfect Match
Everyone knows the technology world has transitioned to one of APIs and apps, backed by data. What’s less obvious is how organizations get to take part in this new world, and how they can handle the resulting changes. Organizations require tools that allow them to build and deploy services quickly, scale them and change them on the fly. At Apigee, we use Node.js as a critical part of this toolset. In this talk we will outline how we and our customers are using Node.js to deploy apps, support APIs and analyze data.
