NODE! Huh! What else is it good for?
A session at nodePDX 2012
Everyone talks about Node.js in terms of non-blocking I/O and creating a web service or web site using JavaScript. But there is more to Node.js than just Sockets, ports, and protocols. I'll explore some of the non-web exclusive uses of Node.js. Node can be a code compiler, an FTP server, a continuous integration server, a mail server, a deployment server, or an IRC server. Node can provide system reports, build and package your projects, and parse ePub books.
Speaker Bio
I've been working with JavaScript for a long time. I co-authored a book called "Professional JavaScript Frameworks" published by Wrox press. I've been a web developer for over 15 years.
