Speaking at the first BarcelonaJS meetup

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:53:10 +0000

I’ll be speaking at the first BarcelonaJS meetup on January 30th in MOB, [Barcelona](http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.3833333333,2.18333333333&spn=0.1,0.1&q=41.3833333333,2.18333333333 (Barcelona)&t=h “Barcelona”).

I’ll be presenting node-fs and talking about my experience trying to fix the common problem of recursive directory creation, failing to get it accepted into the core of node.js, and planned features for node-fs.

Other speakers include Pablo Casado, who will be talking about how to start with node.js, and also Jordi Romero, discussing a hybrid solution that leverages node.js and Rails.

Why refactoring?

Interesting thoughts about refactoring, starting with a comprehensive post by Jim Bird, stating what is not refactoring:

Fixing any bugs that you find along the way is not refactoring. Optimization is not refactoring. Tightening up error handling and adding defensive code is not refactoring. Making the code more testable is not refactoring – although this may happen as the result of refactoring. All of these are good things to do. But they aren’t refactoring. – in What Refactoring is, and what it isn’t

RethinkDB looks promising

RethinkDB is out – an open-source distributed database

RethinkDB is built to store JSON documents, and scale to multiple machines with very little effort. It has a pleasant query language that supports really useful queries like table joins and group by, and is easy to setup and learn.

An open-source distributed database with an intuitive query language, parallelized queries, and much more! It’s called RethinkDB and you can fork it on GitHub. What’s not to like?
