Web Development Events

We are doing another Hackday and party with Rackspace and Nodejitsu - this time with node.js.  You can show up and hack all day or just come in the evening for the tech talks, demos and the party. 

Food, beer and skeeball provided. Bring ideas or find a team.

Agenda

9am: Start Hacking

6pm: Tech Talk by James Halliday from StackVM

7pm: Demos

8pm: Move to a local bar

Speaker

James Halliday - StackVM

James studied computer science at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and might even get around to doing that graduation paperwork sometime.  He currently lives in Oakland, California and works with StackVM to make virtual machines just a "little less terrible".

 

Ideas

• Developer stats site; turn this into a game a la Twisted Highscores
• IRC Bots that integrate with build, deployment, tracking tools
• REST interfaces for language-specific libraries a la libcloud.rest
• REST interface for cron jobs a la cron.io
• Web interface for remote terminal a la tty.js

Useful tools

• nodejs
• async
• express
• jade
• bootstrap

Look for hack code during and after events here.

What is Node.js?

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
