Alex Young (writer and editor of DailyJS.com) presents this session on building web apps with the server-side JavaScript framework, Node.js, and the web framework, Express.
We’ll learn how to create Node-based Express apps, explore the overall ecosystem and recommended libraries, and gain enough knowledge to start building, testing and deploying applications straight away.
The talk will cover:
- Package management with npm
- Streamlining HTML and CSS with Jade and Stylus
- Recommended database libraries
- Sending emails
- Package distribution with npm
- Testing with Expresso and Zombie.js
- Deployment recipes
Alex is a freelance developer and web app entrepreneur, writing JavaScript, Ruby, and Objective-C.
