July's JaxNode meeting will be at Code on the Beach. We are very excited to have Erin Stanfill, one of the speakers for this years Code on the Beach, to be doing the presentation this month.
Go may look like a language from the 80s but its support for concurrency makes it a language for the future. This talk will give a high level explanation of what concurrent programming is and why it is difficult to get right. We will discuss some common problems that occur in concurrent programming such as race conditions, lost wake ups and deadlocks. After some real world examples to show the differences between concurrency and parallelism, we will show how Go's model of concurrency addresses the fundamental problems in concurrency.
The Jacksonville Node.js and Javascript User Group is for anyone interested in learning more about Node.js and JavaScript. JavaScript was originally created for scripting web browsers, but now JavaScript applications run on the server, desktop and even robots.
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient.
Join our MeetupWe also would like to encourage everyone to join the Jacksonville-Tech Slack group.
This is a great place to ask questions and find out about what is going on in the tech community here in Jacksonville.
