Your name: Collin Estes

Your idea: Been having convos with @dshaw (Dan) and @mklumpkin (Kyle) from NodeSource, and Kyle suggested this talk to me via email. He said @CollinEstes is interested in presenting it again and that NodeSource could bring him here to present at a meetup (or something like along those lines). It was previously presented EnterpriseJS Austin -- video here https://vimeo.com/168064722

Approx length: ~20 minutes

2015 saw the creation of a new enterprise architecture at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, built on open source technologies like Elasticsearch, RethinkDB, Node.js, and Docker. This year our Node.js services are integrating and visualizing data which helps keep our astronauts safe, while providing the backbone of the software services that will drive the development of new spacesuit technologies to take us to Mars and beyond.

In this talk, Collin discussed how this one data integration solution will help kickstart an open source revolution, and changed how software is created at NASA. A solution which has earned NASA’s sole nomination for the ACT-IAC Igniting Innovation 2016 award.

Collin Estes is the Director of Software Engineering for MRI Technologies in Houston TX. MRI Technologies is a woman-owned small business serving NASA since 1988. Collin has been leading the software engineering for the EMU spacesuit contract at Johnson Space Center since 2006. In addition to working for NASA, Collin leads the MRI Dev Team which works with small and medium size businesses to build custom business applications primarily written in Node.js. Collin leads both self-directed teams primarily as a full stack engineer while also serving as the lead. Within NASA Collin works to promote internal open source and collaboration across the agency, bringing together development teams from all the various NASA centers and divisions.

Your topic request: I'd like Harrison Suarez to give a talk about the (Node.js) software he wrote to run Compass Coffee.

Talk Proposal Template

Your name: Spencer Jones

Your idea: This talk is a code-heavy, beginner-friendly, introduction to testing Node.js web applications. I will demonstrate how to wire together tools like Mocha, Supertest, and a debugging environment for a high-efficiency and pleasant development experience. At the end, listeners will be able to abandon debugging with console.log and feel confident writing tests against their APIs.

Approx length: 20 mins, 30-35 would be preferable. (keep this number betweeen 1 and 20 minutes, please)

I'm available January 2018 and following.

Title: Server rendering your single page app with React.js for better UX

Agenda:

1. UX challenge when building a single page web app
2. How server rendering impacts UX? (live demo)
3. How to do it? (coding demo)
4. The caveat: routing, data model, performance, complexity of setup.
5. Share some resources to move forward from here.

Approx length: 30min

Your idea

I want to talk about the new frontier of interactions between frontend single page application and backend server. Specifically about:

• React.js server rendering
  • Basic setup with Express.js
  • Routing in both frontend and backend
  • How to use webpack to work with universal JavaScript code
  • What's the impact on UX?
• One model over everything approach of modeling data with Falcor
  • What is it?
  • Why we need it?
  • How to setup with Express.js

I learned some of those while building https://github.com/TryStarboard/Starboard/

Approx length

prefer to be 40min, but I can compress it into about 25min.

Talk Proposal Template

Your name: Jordan Kasper

Your idea: Building an Amazon Echo skill is extremely simple, if a bit cumbersome. If you're not familiar, the Echo is an always-on home automation unit that allows developers to extend its functionality with "skills". These skills get the benefit of Amazon's full speech analysis engine and work through a simple JSON web API. In this talk I'll cover how we can use Node.js to write the skill (a small web app) and what else we need to do to get up and running. You don't need to own an Echo to write a skill... although they sure are fun to play with!

Approx length: Probably a full-session talk (45 minutes or so). I could cut this down to a smaller slot if necessary though.

I'd be available any month except September.
