Node, and the Future of the Web View session page

English session - Introduction
Node.js is becoming more and more popular every day, and Joyent is working hard to keep the community stimulated, and engaged.

In this talk James presents the state of the world of compute - in the cloud, and out of it, a vision of the future of the internet, and an introduction to the ideas behind node, and the reasons why Joyent thinks the technology is so important.

While the talk does present a brief introduction to Node.js as an enabling technology, the primary goal is to get the audience looking at the web, and perhaps the world in a slightly different way.
