Description:

Did you know that London 2012 olympics shop runs on server-side JavaScript? Did you know that you can buy a Burton snowboard, a Puma sneaker or latest fashion from Nine West, all with the help from server-side JavaScript. All these web sites run on Demandware's commerce platform, where customization from business logic to pages is done with JavaScript. The talk gives an introduction how JavaScript is used on the Demandware platform and talks about the history, the decision made along the way, the learning and the DOs and DON'Ts with server-side JavaScript in a system, which is provided in a platform-as-a-service model.
