Using Node.js to Build Great Streaming Services

HTML5 Developer Conference 3, San Francisco, October 15-16 2012

As for Node itself. I'm still not sure. It does make me want to take a look at some of the frameworks for node. He recommended Express.js which is at Expressjs.com.

The site looks pretty enough, and a minimalist typograpically clean design will always get my approval. I'm just not sure whether their content is enough to get me to use it in practice. 

Time will tell, I'm sure.

Okay, so, Ryan Dahl is an odd guy. I was rather amused by the way he said "Node never sleeps" and it just made me think that neither does he. He seemed a little like he'd be constantly moving from one task to another, like uber-smallchunking. :)

Thoughts on Node.js

I'm intrigued by Node.js. Someone has turned JavaScript into something useful? 

Okay, I'm being mean, but still, it seems a little improper to be contemplating building real world applications in javascript. Though I do love jQuery, so it can be useful.

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.
