For the NodeJS and Javascript enthusiasts, before Thanksgiving comes Nodevember, the community code conference hosted in Nashville that comes around every November. For the second year in the row, they sold out of tickets.
We’ve ‘open-sourced’ the recap, via images shared on social media by conference attendees.
Let’s start with the image of the swag:
