Description:
We all know Rails is great for making traditional web apps. But adding real-time features to a Rails app can drive up complexity and eat up precious resources from the rest of your app. In this talk, we take a tour of what Node.js is, and what it's good for. We'll also go through some common web app features where Node.js fits in alongside Rails.
- real-time dashboards and analytics
- push notifications
- file uploaders
- form validators

There was an interesting sample of code which was slow in Ruby/Sinatra, but beyond that I couldn't find a lot of examples. There was only a general introduction.
The material on the talk was good, but just did not match the description and focused only on node, instead of node + rails. Also, reading the description, I don't remember any of those things highlighted during the talk (like real-time dashboards, form validators, or even push notifications).
