  • 19:00: TypeScript + Node.js = <3
    by Golo Roden

    In recent years, TypeScript has taken the hearts of JavaScript developers by storm. It is incredibly easy to use TypeScript on the client – but what about the server? How do you combine TypeScript with Node.js? What seems simple at first glance turns out to be not so easy at all on closer inspection: Not only does Node.js have to handle TypeScript, but also code analysis, tests, …

    Golo Roden shows how all this can be achieved in a simple way, what pitfalls there are, and what you have to watch out for. The result is a setup that can be easily transferred to new and existing projects, with which development with TypeScript under Node.js feels practically the same as with JavaScript. Video

  • 20:00: Wormholes in JavaScript

  • 20:15: Microservices with Feathers.js
    by Dimitri Dumonet

    Microservices are becoming more and more popular but compared to monolithic architectures, are harder to use when starting new projects. With feathers.js you can start off with a monolithic approach but also can easily create microservices out of existing code when necessary. This can be done by using feathers services from other microservices as if they were part of the main application. Video

  • 19:45: The Future Should Be Isomorphic
    by Lukas Taegert-Atkinson

    Remember that web development used to be instant fun? But it appears that these days, tooling is getting more between you and the web than ever. This will be a sketch of a different future where fun and instant gratification align with the highly optimized code expected these days, a future that has already started. Video

  • 20:30: RPC & JavaScript Functions as API by Romuald Brillout

    RPC is an old technique for inter-process communication that can be dated back as earlier as the 70s.

    With the recent advent of gRPC, RPC is making a resurgence and is getting popular in the industry. Large companies, such as Google and Netlix, are starting to replace REST/GraphQL with RPC for internal APIs.

    Beyond internal APIs, can RPC be used for web development?

    We will explore the benefits and drawbacks of RPC in the context of web development by comparing it with REST and GraphQL. We will then present an RPC library for Node.js and the browser. Video

  • 21:00: ngqp: Synchronizing form controls with the URL in Angular by Ingo Bürk

    Data-driven applications often contain text search, filter or pagination interactions. By reflecting these parameters on the URL we can often improve user experience. ngqp is a library for Angular to achieve this easily and declaratively, avoiding boilerplate code and many headaches. Video

  • 19:30: No Docker Required: Building Node.js Container Images
    by Martin Höfling and Patrick Harböck

    While Docker is still most popular for packaging and running Node.js apps in containers, it has security and scalability shortcomings for production systems and build pipelines. Recently alternatives have emerged to build container images without Docker. Each of these address common problems: building without elevated privileges, reproducible results, caching of intermediate layers and scaling CI/CD in larger organizations.

    We first introduce the basic structure of a container image and compare the build process for tools supporting Node.js. After demonstrating their usage, we give guidance for selecting the right tool – which might not always be Docker.

  • 20:30: Amplify Your Web App - Cloud Backends with AWS Amplify
    by Andreas Greimel

    AWS Amplify is a framework to integrate various AWS services into your web application.

    In this talk I will demonstrate how to bootstrap a complete web app backend very quickly, including user authentication and registration, a RESTful API, hosting (optionally using a CDN) and powerful analytics tools. Video

    by Philipp Renoth

    With Node.js v10 N-API went out of experimental phase and we're now able to create and provide C/C++ native userland implementation in a better way than NaN (Native abstractions for Node) or Node.js runtime patching. This talk should give you a small overview of what has changed and what is possible now with N-API. Video

  • 20:30: Artificial Intelligence in JavaScript using Tensorflow.js
    by Mathias Burger

    Tensorflow.js can be used to develop machine learning models that run on nodejs or in the browser. Existing models can also be reused or retrained. Using WebGL, the framework provides vendor independent support for hardware acceleration and can even outperform CPU-bound training. In an example I will demonstrate how to use the low-level APIs and how to build a gesture classifier gathering training data from the webcam. Video

  • 19:15: Stronger together, part 1: Domain-driven design (DDD)
    by Golo Roden

    For the development of complex software an interdisciplinary team is required. Unfortunately, we have never learned to communicate across disciplines. This makes it difficult for domain experts, developers and designers to understand each other – which is ultimately reflected in the software that solves the wrong problem, arrives on the market too late and whose quality is not right. Domain-driven design (DDD) focuses on the development of a common language and promises to improve interdisciplinary communication. But how does DDD work? Golo Roden introduces you to the concept, and shows how it relates to more technical design patterns such as event-sourcing and CQRS. Video

  • 20:45: Stronger together, part 2: wolkenkit
    by Golo Roden

    So you have modeled your domain using DDD, and you have decided to use event-sourcing and CQRS as the base architecture of your application. Now what? How do you transfer your model and those architectural decisions into code? Although numerous software projects fail due of the lack of interdisciplinary communication, some also fail because of the chosen principles and technologies. As a solution, Golo Roden introduces you to wolkenkit, an open-source CQRS and event-sourcing framework for JavaScript and Node.js that perfectly matches DDD, and that allows you to focus on what's essential: Solving actual real-world problems in no time.

  • 19:33: TypeScript In Depth
    by Michael Häuslmann and David Dasenbrook

    We all love JavaScript. It is hip, dynamic, and fun. But when your codebase grows and your product passes past the stage of a mere prototype, you quickly realise that not all is well in paradise. Enter TypeScript, a mature solution for type-safe JavaScript that has recently made a couple of leaps ahead and incorporated some of the selling points of the new kid on the block, its main competitor, Flow. We compare TypeScript's and Flow's type systems, review some of the newer features of TypeScript, and show how you can easily integrate TypeScript into existing code bases. Video

  • 20:30: JavaScript - Roadtrip
    by Michael Jaser

    JavaScript left your browser to rule your car. It's possible to build an in-car infotainment system using open web technology. This talk is about our experience with building such a system for the Munich based electric car startup Sono Motors. It covers all your favourite topics like DDD (Deadline Driven Development) and the ancient CAN protocol. Your first step towards your autonomous car running JavaScript!

  • 19:15: Node.js, Kubernetes, Cloud: All the Buzzwords Coming Together with Microsoft Azure!
    by Patriek van Dorp

    Your Node.js applications will probably be part of a bigger solution, having a database, a reverse proxy, some queuing technology, etc. You need a way to deploy and maintain your entire solution in a flexible and robust way. This session will be all about how you can leverage Microsoft Azure Container Service to provision a production ready Kubernetes cluster and how you can leverage Visual Studio Code to deploy and manage your applications on it.

  • 20:15: Outbreak: index-sw-9a4c43b4b4778e7d1ca619eaaf5ac1db.js
    by Alexander Pope

    August 30, 2016, was by all accounts an average Tuesday, and release number 523 just a simple re-factor, but something went horribly wrong that day: bad code escaped from the office, and it quickly spread to infect tens of thousands, giving rise to a hoard of zombie ServiceWorkers! This is a disaster about a typo. This is a thriller about technology out of control. This is a tragedy about wasted CPU cycles. This is a cautionary tale about living in the age of ServiceWorker. Video

  • 21:00: Building future-proof npm libraries with rollup.js
    by Lukas Taegert

    With node.js servers today, transpiling and bundling JavaScipt is usually entirely optional and will in most cases probably hurt more than help. When writing--possibly isomorphic--libraries to be published on npm, however, things look very different. Now you may have users who really care about bundle size or who need to be able to use your library on legacy systems.

    Not only will we look at how a tool like rollup enables us to use ES6 modules in our libraries today and make them more efficient at the same time, but also in what ways others will benefit from us doing so. And how we can automate the process of building libraries that make everyone happy :) Video and slides

  • 10:30: Rediscovering JavaScript
    by Dr. Venkat Subramaniam

    JavaScript is one of those very powerful languages that is often misunderstood and underutilized. It is quite popular, yet there is so much more we can do with it. In this presentation we will deep dive into the capabilities and strengths of this prominent language of the web. Along the way, we will discuss things we should avoid and look at some practices that we should favor. Video

  • 13:00: Keeping your JavaScript Promises
    by Dr. Venkat Subramaniam

    Callbacks have ruled the JavaScripts world. While they provide a way to handle asynchronous responses they’re far from being elegant and they do not compose well. Promises solve the issues with a greater elegance, fluency, and civility. Promises can be chained nicely as well. In this presentation, we will dive into Promises, learn how to use them, how to create our own functions that return Promises, and finally how to automate the test of functions that rely on Promises

  • 21:45: Scalable development leveraging node local modules by Radu Creosteanu

    Local node modules provide a simple mechanism for encapsulating your code in small independent modules. It is a step which enables the easy upgrade of a module to fully shared across different projects. Combined with Jest the use of local node modules makes automated testing more flexible and reliable. Most important of all, structuring your code base around modules maintains the project structure simple even as the size continues to grow. Video

  • 19:45: Gulpify your shell scripts - One way to manage reoccurring tasks on dynamically changing objects by Markus Spanier

    Most of us have used shell scripts to automate and simplify reoccurring tasks. Though being a very simple approach, shell scripts often become more and more cumbersome with growing size. The problem gets even more complicated if the tasks we want to solve with shell scripts depend on dynamically changing objects. And, by the way, have we talked about testing yet? Have we always written tests for our shell scripts? We give an approach to solve those problems by using node.js scripts instead of shell scripts. In order to solve the problems, we divide our scripts into several small tasks that work on independently managed objects and handle their execution with gulp.js. That way, we have all the tools to write clean code and tests at hand and can also benefit from the vast amount of node.js scripts available.

  • 20:30: High-speed ES2015 by Benedikt Meurer

    ECMAScript 2015 is fully supported by all major JavaScript implementations nowadays, and most of them already support various upcoming features like async/await. Especially Node.js developers can already use most of the ES2015 features without a transpiler like Babel. In this talk we’ll look at the performance of modern language features in V8, how the V8 team is currently improving the performance of ES2015 and later features, and how this will affect Node.js developers in 2017.

  • 20:25: How we automated API growth with microservices
    by Jesús Darío Rivera

    To allow communication for vendor independant devices is hard. A single API may not work for many resources and so for a developer is imposible to create apps cross-target. This refers to an app, that independently of the hardware that is running on, has another device or resource as a target, that may have an unknown API.

    To solve this problem in Netbeast we have created both an API and an API engine. The API engine is a structure that allows an API to be extended with microservices, that declare themselves as part of a major application and run on a different process. The API itself is the interface that the engine provides to developers to make use of the mesh of microservices that are behind.

    This structure runs like a whole thing. Whenever an error comes primitives might be dispatched from different microservices and those may implement different capabilities and remain secret not only for the user, but for the developer that make use of them. This is a flexible way to create massive applications that evolve with time, like building blocks for software.

    During the talk we are going to describe the system from outside to inside. This is yet another approach for microservices, that is more about implementation than configuration. Video

  • 21:00: Hyperdrive - a p2p file sharing network

    by Golo Roden

    Making computers talk to each other over the network is simple: You have a server, and you have clients. But what if you want to make them talk to each other without having a server, more like ... coequal peers? What you need is a decentralized network that works autonomously, that can handle appearance and disappearance of arbitrary peers at any point in time, and that does not require a degree in rocket-science. Golo Roden will tell (and show!) you how to do that with pure JavaScript - and what you have to watch out for.

  • 21:15: A Trip to the Zoo: SpiderMonkey, SquirrelFish, Nashorn, and V8
    by Franziska Hinkelmann

    Do you know how JavaScript engines work and why they are so blazingly fast?

    Learn about the fundamentals like abstract syntax tree, opcodes, and just-in-time compilation. JavaScript code can be almost as fast as native C++ code. How do engines accomplish this? Lets look into optimization techniques including hidden classes, inline caching, and ahead-of-time compilation, which, if applied correctly, will give your code a turbo boost.

    Understand the inner workings of JavaScript engines and learn by examples how to write faster code.

Meetup: June 25, 2015

On June 25, 2015 we would like to invite you to our next community meetup of the Munich Node.JS User Group.

What?

On June 25, 2015 we have the following schedule:

  • 19:00: Beer & Pizza
    sponsored by TNG Technology Consulting

  • 20:00: Pipes, streams and distributed systems
    by Mathias Buus Madsen

    How many different ways can you connect two computer programs with each other? Using a tcp socket? Or maybe even an websocket? This talk is gonna be about investigating all the different ways we can connect computers with each other, including some of the more mad science ones, and how we create distributed systems that supports ALL of them. Expect plenty of demos. Video and slides

  • 21:15: Event processing with Node.js and RabbitMQ
    by Zlatko Đurić

    A connected car project gets very close to describe the "IoT" buzzword. The problems we solve in this area are different from a typical "web scale" problem in at least one way - a lot more writes then reads. Devices almost never read, but they write automatically, tirelessly and constantly - unlike humans, who - most of the times - just want stuff filtered and sorted. One of the strategies to deal with this situation is event-based approach - and that's what Node.js does very well. But, we programers make our usual blunders and bugs, and we want to hold on to those events until they are really processed. We need somebody to hold on to and distribute all the messages from the car. This is where RabbitMQ comes into play. This talk will introduce some of the patterns used for event processing with Node.js, MongoDB, Redis and RabbitMQ, some of the problems, and a few ways to deal with those problems. Video

  • Next day at the TNG techday: P2P live streaming
    by Mathias Buus Madsen

    Lets talk about p2p live streaming. Streaming BitTorrent is really great but it doesn't really work for live video/auto/data feeds. Imagine if we could create a open system that allowed you to create a distributed live tv channel that would scale better and better the more people watched it, have security built in as a first class feature, and have a technology stack simple enough to work in the browser. This is something I'm currently working on and I'd love to share some of the progress and mad science with you. Video and slides

  • 20:00 Microcontrollers and Node
    by Patrick Mulder

    Arduino is fun. Node is fun. Let's look at the intersection of both worlds.

    First, we must take a closer look at micro-controllers. They have different types of pins and signals, e.g. analog and digital. To see how they are used, we can look at sensors, LEDs and joysticks.

    With a basic understanding of hardware, we tackle the question: How do concepts such as event-loop and npm apply to building physical experiences? In this part of the talk, we take a look at the JavaScript libraries Johnny5 and CylonJS. We look at the role of Arduino's Firmate and an approach to cross-compile JavaScript to Lua, which Tessel enables with Colony. Video

  • 20:45 Fullstack JavaScript: node.js + AngularJS + Couchbase
    by Philipp Fehre

    Couchbase is a NoSQL document store with lightning fast access times, node.js is a web development platform built for creating blinding fast web applications using JavaScript; they both natively speak JSON. In this introduction, you'll learn how to build fast and scalable web applications leveraging the power of JSON inherent to node.js and Couchbase. I will show in this talk how node.js and Couchbase are a match made in heaven for creating web services built on JSON APIs. Couchbase Server and the Couchbase Node.js SDK can help you build these APIs without the complexity and impedance mismatch of translating between the relational database and JavaScript objects. When it comes to an interactive application, getting data on the user's screen fast can never be an afterthought so Philipp will focus on showing how the asynchronous, event driven programming model of node.js works with Couchbase to provide this near real-time update experience. Video

  • 21:45 Native code in node.js: An introduction to Couchnode
    by Philipp Fehre

    Over the last years node.js has evolved to be a great language to build web applications. The reason for this is not only that it is based on JavaScript which already is established around "the web" but also that it provides excellent facilities for extensions, not only via JavaScript but also integration of native C libraries. Couchbase makes a lot of use of this fact making the Couchbase node.js SDK (Couchnode) a wrapper around the C library providing a node.js like API, but leveraging the power of a native C library underneat. So how is this done? How does such a package look like? Let me show you how integration of C in node.js works and how to "read" a package like Couchnode.

  • 21:20 Managing your front-end with webpack
    by Johannes Ewald

    webpack revolutionizes the way we think about modules in the web. It consumes not only CommonJS-, AMD-, Component- and ES6-modules, but even HTML, CSS, LESS, SASS, CoffeeScript and various other web files and compiles them down into a single file which can be executed in the browser. It even provides a way of "requiring" static assets like images or fonts and helps you to store them efficiently in the application cache. In my talk I'm going to show why webpack is a great tool to write modular and maintainable front-end code while using all the great stuff you can find on npm, bower and GitHub. Video

  • 20:00: Dares - Distributed heterogeneous data replication systems with node
    by Florian Rohm and Alexander Zeilmann

    The need for robust data replication is indisputable in modern distributed systems. Ideally, the data replication schemes trade-off between availability and efficiency can be adjusted at run-time. One solution to this challenge are heterogeneous dynamic quorum-based data replication schemes. In this talk we give a short introduction to the theory underlying these data replication schemes. Subsequently, we present our Node.js library Dares, implementing this theory. Finally, we showcase a simple demo application in terms of a distributed backup system.Video

  • 20:00: Node.js in Comparison to JEE 7 - REST based transactions in focus
    by Franz Sommer

    This talk will discuss a conundrum, how to achieve atomic transactions without locking Node.js. Additionally the current state of Node's enterprise usage will be discussed; case studies of WalMart, LinkedIn and PayPal suggest a dominance in front side applications. The session is closed with an enquiry into the readiness of Node.js for back end services. Two REST-based transaction prototypes implementing a classic transaction use case are benchmarked for this purpose. Prototype one is based on Node.js, sequelize and restify, the other is a JEE7 application deployed to a Glassfish 4.0. Both are served by a postgres database.

  • 21:00: Single-Page Applications with Thorax.js
    by Patrick Mulder

    In this talk, I want to explore a client-server web architecture with Thorax and Node. Thorax is an opinionated web framework based on Backbone and Handlebars. In this talk I explore:

    • Workflow automation based on Grunt, Yeoman and Requirejs.
    • Thorax Views for managing events and rendering, incl. Handlebars
    • Routers to address application state
    • Some API basics for managing application state on the server-side
    Slides and Repo

  • 21:30: Isomorphic Web Applications Using Rendr
    by Christoph Neuroth

    For web developers, the availability of server-side javascript (Node.js in particular) promises to make it possible to build "isomorphic" web applications, resuing the same JavaScript code on both the server and the client. But in reality there are more obstacles than the language. This talk will show how to tackle these using rendr, a small library from Airbnb that promises to run your Backbone.js apps seamlessly on both the client and the server.

  • 20:45: How streams help to raise Node.js performance
    by Golo Roden

    With Node.js it¹s dead-easy to compress and deliver a file to a client - given that this task does not involve gigabytes of data and thousands of clients. Anyway: What-if? Fortunately Node.js provides an exit: Instead of putting all the data into memory initially - just process them on-the-fly! This way you can deliver your data while still reading and compressing them, all at the same time. This not only improves your application's memory footprint, but also lowers its response times. All of the magic is done within a straightforward module without any bling-bling, called "stream". And lots of developers use it in their everyday job, but know none of its details. It's time for a change. video

What?

Kaum eine Programmiersprache hat in den vergangenen 15 Jahren dermaßen Karriere gemacht wie JavaScript: Was 1995 als einfache, aber exotische Skriptsprache für die clientseitige Interaktion auf Webseiten begann, treibt heute sämtliche großen, modernen Webseiten wie Facebook, Twitter und Co. an. Und auch auf dem Desktop und mobilen Geräten findet JavaScript zunehmend Einzug. Was liegt also näher, als JavaScript auch serverseitig zu nutzen? In diesem Workshop lernen Sie das (vermutlich) "nächste große Ding" kennen, wenn es um skalierbare, hochperformante und echtzeitfähige Webanwendungen geht.

Um an dem Workshop teilnehmen zu können brauchst Du einen eigenen Laptop mit aktueller Version VirtualBox. Hier findest Du das VirtualBox-Image für den Workshop. Username und Passwort ist "nodejs", was sonst ;)

  • 20:00: Clojurescript
    by Alex Petrov

    Functional languages are emerging right now. Who knows where it brings us in a year, 2, 5 years. It's worth learning a functional language or two just for sakes of learning new concepts, unlearn imperative programming style and know how to manipulate your data in a way that doesn't introduce side-effects that may potentially ruin application flow. It's particularly important in JavaScript environment, where many things are callback-based, and execution flow is hard to track. Treating data that flows through application using functional approach eases debugging and lowers maintenance overhead, and your developers can relax and enjoy their Franziskaner.

  • 21:00: CoffeeScript: Who is afraid of the whitespaces?
    by Robert Kuzelj

    A unusual introduction to CoffeeScript, whitespaces, classes and other scary things. This presentation will only cover very few code examples of CoffeeScript but I will give the audience lots of insight of how humans perceive the world. The audience will learn how humans react to structure, how we perceive "negative space" (whitespaces being one instance to it) and "symbols", and how we model the world. I will give a amusing presentation on the psychology and philosophy of programming and programming languages.
