    This presentation takes you on an adventure outside of the “JavaScript developer” comfort zone and explains how some parts of V8 work internally. Understanding the basics of JavaScript engine internals offers deep insights into how code gets executed and optimized, allowing us to more easily identify performance pitfalls in our scripts.

    JS, and, stands to reason, Node, are starting to turn up in places we didn't think possible as little as 3 years ago. From small JS engines running on tiny microcontrollers, to technologies moving to embrace the web, we'll take a look at the odd nooks and crannies that JS has worked its way into, and discuss what this means for the future of Node.

    The NYC Space/Time Directory is a project of The New York Public Library which turns historical maps, street photos, city directories and other geographic sources from the Library's collection into a digital time-travel service for New York City. How did my street look in the 1920s? Who lived on 150 Bowery in 1850? Are there maps of Long Island City in 1900?…

    Virtual reality enables the creation of powerful immersive experiences for games, environments, and content display, but the expensive headsets and complicated frameworks needed to create, distribute, and access VR are anything but appealing to the web developer —or the masses—. But worry not, for JavaScript comes to the rescue!! WebVR is the developing open…

    In the past few years, peer-to-peer distributed infrastructure has become more viable in Node.js. WebTorrent, for example, opened up the possibility for streaming BitTorrent files in the browser, where every person who watched a video would be contributing a piece of their bandwidth to improve speed for everyone else watching the video. However, this kind of…

    Tools like Babel, ESlint, JScodeshift, Prettier all seem to work magically for us. Since they relate to subjects such as "compilers" and "parsers", we never even dare to look inside and understand what they do. How do they work? We'll see the fundamental piece of the puzzle, the Abstract Syntax Tree, or AST. What it is, what it is for, and how can we use it …

    You constantly read 'you shouldn't block the event loop' around the node community. How do you know if/when it's blocked? Can you assess the impact of a block spike? Understanding how every operation affects the event loop marks the difference in the reliability and the performance of any application. We will look at finding and solving not-so-obvious exampl…

    No matter your experience in JS, you have probably came across the Array#sort method at some point. Do you remember the first time you tried sorting numbers? You were probably astonished that the sort method does not sort things out quite as we might expect. Believe it or not, there is actually much more going on than meets the eye! Let’s get our computer sc…

    This is a comparison of different methods for performing asynchronous control flow in JavaScript, specifically Callbacks, Promises, Generators / Yields (ES2015), and Async / Await (ES2016). We will explore a simple code example as it applies to each of these different "phases" of asynchronous control flow. Finally we'll examine how Async functions are just P…

    "Node.js is an event-based platform. This means that everything that happens in Node is the reaction to an event. A transaction passing through Node traverses a cascade of callbacks. Abstracted away from the developer, this is all handled by a library called libuv which provides a mechanism called an event loop. This event loop is maybe the most misunderstoo…
