Thanks to Cian O’Maidin, the videos from the first Node.js meetup in Dublin are available!
A couple of weeks ago, we presented a short (~15m) talk about how we use Node.js to render Javascript charts to SVG and PNG images.
At this event, we announced three things:
- Open sourcing Dali, our daemon for executing Highcharts
- Open sourcing deb-npm-autopackage, a little script for making .deb packages from npm modules
- Our official Node.js client for Metricfire
Watch the video for some details on how and why we run Highcharts server-side under Node.js, what we liked/didn’t like about Node, and for the open sourcing announcement.
Sorry about the poor audio – hopefully we’ll have a better recording setup for the next event.
In case you’re wondering, yes, that is our Big Red Button being used as a slide advancing tool. :D
