The day is structured the content of the day into four segments: Start it, Build it, Ship it and Use it. Let’s look at each of these in turn.
Segments
Start it
So you have a technical challenge, be it a legacy stack or a new set of algorithms. This segment of the conference aims to give you the confidence to start your new project, and to help you use Node.js in the right places.
Build it
Now that you’ve decided to start your project, you need to know how to build it. Let our experts give you the facts you need to know about Node.js Core, V8 and ChakraCore. We’re not here to demonstrate the latest tools—we want to give you the knowledge to build the latest tools.
Ship it
So you’ve solved the technical challenges. Now you need deploy from your laptop into production. Learn how to optimize your continuous deployment pipelines for success while increasing in confidence along the way.
Use it
Congratulations! Your product is a success and you have lots of new users. Now you need to know how to scale your architecture in a robust, secure and efficient way. Let our experts show you how they have achieved success.
Pay it forward
Proceeds from the event are being donated to three local non-profit groups: NodeGirls, NodeBots and NodeSchool London. [images]
What’s more, speakers can elect to donate their fee, thus generating even more cash for the causes.
