Update: The event has been canceled. We were too late with our announcement, and too many people had already finalized their travel plans for coming to cologne.

We are planning to do another workshop in Berlin, so if you'd like to be notified, please provide your information below:

We will only use your email to keep you posted about upcoming node.js workshops - promised.

We apologize for the short notice, but if you are looking to put node.js in production, this full day node.js workshop organized by transloadit.com is where it's at!

The workshop is happening on Friday June 10, one day before nodecamp.eu. Space is limited to 15 people and expected to sell out quickly.

Should you attend?

This workshop will teach you everything you need in order to write and deploy powerful node.js applications. We'll try to cover a lot of ground, so if you are interested in any of the following, you should definitly attend:

• Setting up node.js on your local machine
• Understanding the module system
• Using npm for installing and upgrading modules
• Publishing your own npm modules
• Everything you need to know about http.Server
• Structuring your code using OOP in JavaScript
• Dealing with all the callbacks in a sane fashion
• Using the same code in node.js and the browser
• Building realtime apps with Socket.IO
• Using the express framework
• An overview over testing tools available for node.js
• Deploying node.js to Ec2 / Joyent

The first half of the day will be guided by slides (which will be made available afterwards), with the second half being a hands-on session where we will build a small node app from scratch.

About the instructor

This workshop will be led by Felix Geisendörfer. He is one of the earliest and most active core contributors, author of over 20 npm modules and also running one of the biggest node.js applications in production over at transloadit.com.

In addition, Tim Koschützki who is also a co-founder at transloadit, will be available all day to help with individual questions and trouble shooting. 

What do you need to bring?

1. A laptop running a *nix operating system or virtual machine

Questions & Answers

If your question is not answered below, feel free to email us at events@transloadit.com.

I'm coming from out of town, can you recommend any hotels to stay at?

Cologne has great public transportation, so you can check into any hotel that is in the general area. There is also a thread on nodecamp.eu mailing list that covers affordable hotels and hostels in the area.

Does the workshop ticket include entry to nodecamp.eu?

Unfortunately no. But if you already have a nodecamp.eu ticket, you get a 20% discount on the workshop.

Even without attending nodecamp.eu, you should still come and use the weekend to explore the beautiful city, and join the nodecamp crowd for drinks & gatherings in the evening.

What language will the workshop be taught in?

The workshop will be taught in English.

I want to send several people from my company, can we get a discount?

If you are planning to send 3 or more people from your company, please contact us for a discount.

Is there going to be food?

Yes, we will provide catering for all workshop participants. If you require vegetarian or otherwise special food, please let us know.

Are there any events after the workshop?

We will try to finish up at around 6pm, but after that we are certainly headed out for beers & fun with those who are already in town for nodecamp.eu the next day. So you are more than welcome to join in, and hear even more node.js stories.

I can't make it to this workshop, are you planning to do any other workshops in the future?

Yes, transloadit will be organizing more node.js workshops in the near future. If you'd like to find out about workshops in your city or online, sign up for our workshop announcement newsletter.

We will only use your email to keep you posted about upcoming node.js workshops - promised.
