Low-Code for the Node.js Developer - Nick O'Leary, IBM

Node-RED is a low-code development tool, that lets you quickly build applications by dragging components into a workspace and wiring them together to represent the logical flow of events. It can be an invaluable tool for developers of any experience and can be, for Node.js developers in particular, quick and easy to extend. This talk looks at how Node-RED can be extended by creating new nodes for its palette.

Workshop: Make Your First AMP Site - Ben Morss, Google

It's easy to get started with AMP! Join us to create your first interactive AMP webpage.

This event is a compressed workshop version of our beginning AMP course (plus a bit of the second course). After a short introduction to AMP, participants create their first AMP pages, complete with responsive images, a YouTube embed, social sharing buttons, an image carousel, and an interactive menu. People code on glitch.com so that they can share their projects with the group, and so that the moderator can help everyone debug.

We'll use Glitch so that everyone can share their creation with the group!

Possible Tools: The Present & Future of Tooling in Node.js - Christopher Hiller, IBM

The web's evolution and JavaScript in-the-large has pushed Node.js forward as a platform for writing tools--despite its roots as a framework for event-driven I/O. Node.js has enabled innovators to built tools like Babel, ESLint and TypeScript, which are critical to our development workflows. Yet, if you've ever tried to write a CLI app built on Node.js, you'll have the felt rough edges, gaps in functionality, and reality-distorting cross-platform bad weirdness.

Chris leads the Node.js Tooling Group--a team of commiserating tooling authors--who are sculpting Node.js into a superior platform for building tools. In this talk, Chris will highlight the Tooling Group's recent successes, showcase its current initiatives, and visualize the future of possible tools written in Node.js.

Import { modules } as esm from “nodejs” - Tierney Cyren, Microsoft

In with ES6 JavaScript landed a fully-fledged module system, ECMAScript Modules (ESM). This module system was initially built for the front-end, and works rather well for that use case. However, JavaScript had already had multiple ecosystem-built module systems prior to this - one of which won: CommonJS (CJS).

Over the last few years, the Node.js project has been working on implementing ESM in a way that wouldn't break the 1+ million modules published to npm that folks already rely on for their production systems.

That implementation is (hopefully!) here, providing the ability to use ESM natively in Node.js.

In this talk, we'll go over the various distinct features of the new module system in Node.js. You'll walk away ready to use ESM as a first-class module within your next Node.js project.

Chronicles of the Node.js Ecosystem: The Consumer, The Author, and The Maintainer - Bethany Griggs, IBM

The sheer vastness of the Node.js module ecosystem poses challenges for the consumers, authors, and maintainers. How do consumers know which of the 1 million modules to rely on for their production deployments? How do module authors handle their hobby projects evolving into a widespread, critical dependency? What happens to abandoned modules? How can a module author test the impact of their changes on dependant applications? This talk will highlight these problems, and also showcase the work that the Node.js Package Maintenance team is doing to try and help solve these problems.
