Abstract:
Node.js has been rapidly growing in popularity in recent years. Now backed by enterprise vendors like IBM, Intel and Microsoft through the Node Foundation, and in use at companies like LinkedIn, WalMart and PayPal, Node.js is a serious option for enterprise web applications. But that doesn't diminish the importance of Java and Java Application Servers. In fact, a number of emerging architectures for enterprise web applications bring together the web scale and integrated browser experience characteristics of Node.js with the highly optimized and resilient transactional characteristics of Java to deliver reliable, high-performance and engaging web applications. Come learn more about the complimentary characteristics of Node.js and Java and how you will want to use both to build the next generation of web applications.
