The Modern JavaScript Server Stack
Wednesday, 10:30 AM
The usage of JavaScript on the server is rising. In this session, we’ll talk about all the tools and utilities that comprise a modern JavaScript application, from a server-side point of view.
The usage of JavaScript on the command line and server has exploded over the past couple of years. Node.js has become popular with development shops from startups to big corporations. With its asynchronous nature, JavaScript provides the ability to scale dramatically. Along with the ability to drive your server-side applications, there are a number of tools that help with all aspects of browser development: testing, packaging, and deployment. In this session, we’ll explore these tools and show you how you can incorporate these into your environment.
