Node Patterns

Node.js is this amazing and fast platform built on JavaScript which is the most popular programming language in the world. 

Let's say you aspire one day to become a Node.js architect...

Or maybe, you’re already one and want to extend your knowledge,

Work in a full stack JavaScript?

This presentation is for you, because we’ll talk about main Node patterns.

In this presentation, we will start with the basic: what is event loop and callback (setTimeout(), setImmediate() and process.nextTick()).... 

Then we'll discuss the observer pattern with EventEmitter, the Middleware pattern and the Module patterns. 

Next you will learn how to hack object prototype and global refs. We will also discuss factory pattern and pseudo-classical inheritance. 

And lastly, we'll tackle Async patterns: Async, NeoAsync, async await, generators and Promises.

Wait no more and engage into learning and taking the max out of your Node code!
