NodeSummit 2016

07/24/2016

NodeSummit 2016...it's getting closer, to be certain, yet I keep looking back at my watch to see if it's time for it already. I'm excited about going this year. I don't get to attend many conferences, so I make sure I get as much out of them as I can when I do get to attend--especially if they are specific to NodeJs!

As a way to solidify my effort to get as much out of this year's NodeSummit as possible and to give others a chance to benefit from it, I am not only going to blog about it, but I am going to have some lightning talks at my upcoming meetups--Austin Javascript Stack meetup and Austin MEAN Stack meetup.

To that end, I have listed below the tracks I plan on attending, if there are any specific questions or information that any of you fellow meetup members or blog readers would like me to try and get from my attendance, please specify below in the comments. In addition, depdending on outcomes, I will blog on each of these soon after the conference concludes.

All notes for below tracks taken are directly from the NodeSummit site. But I've listed them here for your convenience, each linking to its respective description at the NodeSummit site.
