It’s typical in software development to pull data from different sources. However, in the modern world of asynchronicity, data is being retrieved in real-time streams, akin to how developers handle events. Reactive Extensions is a library that makes it easier to code in a reactive, asynchronous, composable style. In this session, you’ll get a gentle introduction into this library and how its API works. About the speaker: Jason Bock is a Practice Lead for Magenic (http://www. Read more → about Reactive Extensions with Jason Bock

As a developer, one of the first things you do when starting a new project is include jQuery and start writing code. That’s the way it’s always been, and works for you. Stop it. Devices are getting smaller, processors are getting slower, and web apps are more complicated. jQuery can cause some fairly serious performance issues. So let’s take a step back from jQuery and talk about ways VanillaJS is faster and simpler.

Every other month we’re doing workshops with various technologies starting with NodeJS. For March, we’ll be going through NodeSchool.IO’s “Learn Node” module. This covers an introduction to nodejs from console.log through making asynchronous http requests. Josh Broton, Seth Larson, and other members will be available to help people through any problems they run across. Attendees do have to supply their own computer(or pair with someone else who did). If you attended our test run of this in January and completed Learn Node feel free to move on to Stream Adventure, Async, or one of the other modules. Read more → about NodeJS Workshop #1
