Understanding Error Handling in Node.js

August 9th - 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Auditorium

Node.js provides several different mechanisms for raising and handling errors -- exceptions, error-first callbacks, promise reject, and event emitters to name a few. It is important for developers to understand the differences of these mechanisms and be able to apply them correctly when building production-ready Node.js applications. This talk explains these mechanisms, provides guidance and when and how to apply them, and illustrates usage with several real world examples.
