Section 1:

Chef is a tool for provisioning and configuring systems in Ruby. Vagrant is a tool to automate provisioning on your own computer using VirtualBox. Fog is a tool designed to automate provisioning on your choice of clouds (Amazon, Rackspace, or Blue Box Group). See how these can combine to have your application ready for war!

Section 2:

Remote pairing is coming into its own. Using the tools in Section 1, we'll set up a remote pairhost, and discuss techniques for effective pairing on a shared remote instance using Skype, iTerm2, and tmux. Don't be limited by proximity! Be effective with your pair wherever you find yourselves.

NodeJS 101

Thursday, August 18, 2011, 6:30 PM

Skookum

121 W. Trade Street Suite 1900, Charlotte, NC (map)

Bring your laptop and code along as we walk through Nodejs and explore what it offers. In this 101 exercise you can expect to learn about what Node is, isn't, and how to get started writing Nodejs applications.

If you plan on coding along, please have Node (v4.x) installed and ready to go before you arrive so we can focus on more of the fun stuff.  Note for you Windows peeps: Windows support for Nodejs is not yet stable. If you're on Windows its best to just use a vm running some form of Linux and install Node on it.

This talk will assume some prior knowlege of JavaScript.
