Erwin Earley from Rogue Wave is coming to us this month to speak on exciting open source topics.
Abstract: One of the newer open source languages on IBM is Node.js. Node.js provides the ability to execute java-script on the server-side. This opens up a world of serverless and microservices solutions. This session answers the question “what is node.js” – additionally we will take a look at how Node.js can be used in an IBM i environment and the integration of Node.js with DB2 and ILE. Additionally, we will take a look at the syntax of the language and how solutions in Node.js can be daemonized to server multiple simultaneous requests.
