Hi Nodesters! I'm excited to bring us back together for some food & a great lineup of talks ***WEDNESDAY, August 15th, 2018***

**Colin Ihrig - Introduction to libuv: What's a Unicorn Velociraptor?**
Libuv is what gives Node.js its event loop & cross-platform asynchronous I/O capabilities. This talk explains what libuv is all about, & how it's used by Node.js. This talk also looks at recent development efforts in the libuv project.

Bio: Colin Ihrig is a member of the Node.js Core Technical Committee, a libuv collaborator, & a hapi.js core team member. He is the author of Pro Node.js for Developers, & co-author of Full Stack JavaScript Development with MEAN. Currently, Colin is a product engineer at Joyent, focusing on Node.js development & enterprise support.

**Eddie Zaneski - Dockerizing a node app & deploying it to Kubernetes**

It is definitely the year of Docker & Kubernetes as dev teams of small & large companies are starting the migration to containers. We'll jump into the deep end & take an application from running on a single server to running in a container on Kubernetes while also learning the basics.

Bio: Eddie serves the developer community at DigitalOcean. When he's not automating things in his apartment you'll likely find him climbing rocks somewhere.

**James McGill - Large-scale refactoring across multiple
repositories**

A micro-service & micro-repo architecture carry a large number of benefits - but a simple way to make changes across a large number of services is not one of them. With Node changing rapidly (for the better) we needed a simpler solution for large-scale refactoring across multiple repositories. Using jscodeshift, & a tool developed internally called
Slider, we have been able to maintain consistency across hundreds of repositories.

Bio: Jimmy McGill is the VP of Engineering at Button - a former Googler, former Australian & forever a maker at heart. Jimmy joined Button to help eliminate the barriers to commerce on Mobile. When writing Node, you'll find him in a warehouse in Brooklyn designing & building furniture.

We'll be at Skillshare this month!

See you there!
