But Native ES Modules are coming to NodeJS and the browser. On the surface, they look incredibly similar to CommonJS modules, but the differences are important. In this talk I will describe these differences, the consequences of these differences, and how to start preparing for the new world of Native ES Modules.</p> <p>Why is this talk important? Because Native ES Modules <em>are</em> coming. And everybody will be talking about them in 2019. And we need to be prepared, for it <em>is</em> going to be a difficult transition, because the differences are subtle and they bite.</p> <p>(as a member of the Node Modules WG, I can definitely bring some insight into why ES Modules in Node is taking so long).</p> <p>👉This is going to be an epic night not to miss! See y'all there! 🎉🎉🎉</p> <p><em>Important Location Reminder</em><br>We're meeting at Vacasa for this night only, rather than at Alchemy Labs (our usual spot).</p> <p>__________________</p> <p>Presentations begin at 6:30pm. We feature 2 awesome speakers that bring you the best that Portland (and beyond) has to offer in Node & JavaScript. Periodically we'll open with a brief lightning talk too.</p> <p>Open dialogue during the presentations is very welcome–we're all here to learn!</p> <p>Come a little early and say hi! The organizers will be available to help any newcomers with getting started. If you need help installing node and npm, or have questions or anything–please reach out.</p> <p>Before our first talk we'll engage in a friendly Node quiz! Prizes include awesome learning materials sponsored by Cloudflare (eg. Books like "Effective JavaScript" by David Herman, and "Node.js in Action" by Harter, Cantelon, Rajlich, and Holowaychuk).</p> <p>Our talks cover a variety of topics, presented by people with varying levels of experience. Some of our speakers have been: Suz Hinton, Substack, Chris Dickinson, Paul Frazee, and more!</p> <p>Afterwards, if you're stoked to keep hangin' we regularly take our discussions onward to post-talk drinks nearby! We may even hack a little if the night is young!</p> <p>People who're new to programming and new friends to the Node community are very welcome! Say hi, make some noise, get to know folks, and ask questions!</p> <p>Brief note about our location:</p> <p>Please look for Nodesters standing by the door to let you in if it's locked! If you arrive beyond 6:35pm, please shoot us a tweet at @pdxnode, and we'll come as soon as we can to let you in. :)</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.meetup.com/pdxnode/events/248230855/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
