RWX / CDX
Fort Lauderdale · December 3 - 6, 2013
About this Presentation
NodeJS is an outstanding platform but it's pretty low-level. Starting from a core project skeleton, learn how to put together a modern web application using some of the coolest NodeJS tools and packages available. Additionally, we'll also cover unit testing, code coverage and debugging to make sure your web application really shines.
If you've scratched the surface of Node but haven't quite been able to make the leap to a real web application, this workshop is for you!
