Maybe you've already heard it - Node.js is becoming the new platform of choice in many development teams and production systems, known for its flexibility, simplicity and having a plethora of ready-to-use libraries. And many of us, (not only) Java developers, are curious what's in it that it drives so many people away (not only) from Java.
As an active Javaist & JavaScripter, Lukas can offer interesting perspective on what Node.js offers as an alternative to the mature Java ecosystem. So, tighten your seat bealts, it will be a wild ride!
In this session, Lukas will introduce Node.js and compare it with Java:
- asynchronous flows / promises
- functional programming in JS
- parallelization
- packaging
- modularity
- language features from ECMAScript 6 (also known as ES 2015)
- differences between browser- and server-side JS
- running JS on the JVM
- Node.js compared to Java EE
