Node.js and Socket.io provide a easy way of writing real-time applications where the server pushes notifications to the client on certain events. This allows the development to be focused on other parts of the system and also offers a level of transparency as data is represented in the same format both on the client side and on the server side. This presentation describes the use of Node.js for creating a middleware between low level C code and the client application as an extension to an existing system without making any changes to the backend code.

Elvis has experience working both as a backend/system engineer and a frontend developer. For the past 3 years he's been a web developer and consultant at ONE Marketing (www.onemarketing.dk) working with Scandinavia's top brands.

During his stay in Copenhagen, Elvis has also been involved in the startup community helping early-stage companies reach their goals using web-based technologies such as Node.js and Angular.

Elvis has recently moved to Christchurch where he is a software engineer at SLI Systems.
