Opening announcements and logistics focus on concrete things: venue is the National Museum of the American Indian, sponsors include Casper and Microsoft… | ||
| Extending Hyperterm | Matthew Conlen | 19m |
Hyper exposes a plugin system built on React and Redux and installs via HPM. The concrete claim is that plugins can either intercept Redux actions or pair with… | ||
| Advanced Linting in Node js | Jamund Ferguson | 22m |
Argues that linting must go beyond style to detect real bugs by enforcing patterns, demonstrates writing custom ESLint rules with ESLint and ASTExplorer.net… | ||
| The Sound of Music | Justin J Moses | 25m |
Argues that music is simply time-series data and demonstrates a working tool called node-keyboard that pipes MIDI and text commands through Node streams and… | ||
| Demystifying Javascript Engines | Alejandro Oviedo | 21m |
Tracing actual engine behavior: interpreters produce bytecode, baseline and optimizing compilers compile hot functions at runtime, and modern engines use… | ||
| How Webassembly Will Change the Way You Write Javascript | Seth Samuel | 23m |
Demos compile asm.js/C/rust down to a shared AST/wasm binary (look for the header \0asm), load it in Node via instantiateModule + Uint8Array and export it as a… | ||
| Building Peer To Peer Applications in Node | William Blankenship | 18m |
Demonstrates concrete pieces: a ten-line WebTorrent snippet that downloads a magnet hash over a Dockerized tracker and waits three seconds, a distributed hash… | ||
| Portable DIstributed Systems Using Node on "Routers" | Nick Hehr | 29m |
Claim: run Node on routers to cut latency by eliminating hops and serve apps from the edge. Uses Tessel 2 on OpenWrt, Node’s dgram UDP + mDNS for discovery… | ||
| Node Microservices Using Hydra | Carlos Justiniano | 31m |
A concrete claim: Hydra is a lightweight NPM package for Node that uses Redis to provide automated health and presence, service discovery, routing and built‑in… | ||
| Build Your Child Their Very Own Node js Frozen Robot | Gabrielle Crevecouer | 28m |
A voice‑activated Frozen doll listens for the words Elsa, Frozen or sing and plays a Let It Go snippet; the build uses an Arduino + MP3 shield to store and… | ||
| Real Time Machine Learning With Node js | Philipp Burckhardt | 23m |
Claims Node.js can do real‑time, incremental ML using actual packages and data streams rather than just rhetoric: a custom numeric library lip, streaming from… | ||
| Getting Started with the Microsoft Bot Framework | Sarah Sexton | 21m |
Shows how to build a bot once in Microsoft Bot Framework and publish it to Slack, Skype, SMS (Twilio), web and Facebook Messenger, using Node.js, npm, GitHub… | ||
| Rocketing the Node Commuity Beyond the Edge | Tierney Coren | 24m |
