Deno: Node Done Right

There is a common perception in software development that you need to
throw away the first version of something you build. The second
version is the right one because you learned all the lessons the first
time. What if that thing was Node.js?

Ryan Dahl's brain child is wildly successful, but he has moved on and
is focusing on Deno. He is hoping to solve some of the performance and
security issues with Node while embracing a bunch of new ideas that
have emerged such as TypeScript and WebAssembly.

In this Full-Day Session, you will learn about:

• The goal and design of the Deno environment
• The sandbox and permission model
• Developing with TypeScript
• Using WebAssembly
• The single command toolchain
• The Rich Standard Library
• Using Async JavaScript
• And more!
