We finally started sending out invitations to speakers for JSConf.eu and we’ll post about each one of them in the coming days.

We received over 40 awesome proposals in our call for speakers which means we had to reject quite a few of them. Hopefully many of them will accept our offer to purchase a ticket for the early bird price!

The first speaker we’d like to announce is Ryan Dahl of node.js fame.

Here’s a short biography:
Ryan is an American freelance programmer living in of Germany. His work invariably involves interruptible parsers, event loops, and response time histograms. He is the creator of several open source projects including the Ebb web server and the „EY“ load balancer module for Nginx.

And this what he will be talking about:

Node.js, Evented I/O for V8 Javascript

It is well known that event loops rather than threads are required for high-performance servers. Javascript is a language unencumbered of threads and designed specifically to be used with synchronous evented I/O, making it an attractive means of programming server software. Node.js ties together the V8 Javascript compiler with an event loop, a thread pool for making blocking system calls, and a carefully designed HTTP parser to provide a browser-like interface to creating fast server-side software. This talk will explain Node’s design and how to get started with it.

Holger Blank, unser Geschäftsführer Technik und Malte Ubl, einer unserer technischen Teamleiter, nahmen an der der JavaScript Conference (JSConf2009) in Washington teil. Zusammen mit Jan Lehnardt holen sie die JavaScript -Konferenz zu Themen wie Mobile, Desktop, Server oder Web-Apps nach Berlin. In einem Interview erläuterte Holger Blank auf radicalmonday die Hintergründe: http://bit.ly/cqFg8
