Maybe something based on

Title: Building Modern Native Add-ons for Node.js in 2021

Abstract: Jim is going to take a first pass...

jschlight commented 3 years ago

Preliminary Abstract

Quickly get up to speed on all the latest improvements to Node-API, the Node.js core technology that enables the creation of Node.js native add-ons based on C and C++ APIs. Since it’s introduction in 2017, Node-API (previously N-API), and the supporting ecosystem, has continued to evolve and improve to meet the needs of the larger Node.js community.

This fast-paced talk, presented by members of the Node-API team and of interest to both novice and experienced native add-on developers, covers a number of recent improvements to Node-API and supporting tools.

Support for multi-threaded and asynchronous programming in Node-API has been significantly improved. New abstractions such as thread-safe functions and the Addon<T> class greatly simplify the effort needed to implement computationally complex add-ons and add-ons that rely on native OS-level asynchronous APIs. Additional helper methods have been added that support date objects, BigInts, retrieving property names from objects, and detaching ArrayBuffers.

The universe of tools used to build and deploy native add-ons also continues to evolve and improve. Native add-on developers now have the option of building with CMake.js in addition to node-gyp. Prebuilding binaries for a variety of platforms and architectures significantly improves the experience of native add-on users. Deployment options permit serving these binaries from GitHub releases or even bundling the binaries as part of the npm module itself.

Please join us for what promises to be an exciting and informative presentation.

See Michael's edit below.

Sounds great! Nit: There's one superfluous "permit"

I'm adding this preliminary outline for discussion by the N-APi Team.

Preliminary Outline

jschlight commented 3 years ago

The deadline for the submission has been extended to February 22, 2021. I have the submission in process waiting for @KevinEady's info.

As it turns out, the abstract is limited to 900 characters. So I've whittled down Michael's edit even further.

Abstract as currently submitted

Quickly get up to speed developing modern Node.js native addons. This fast-paced talk, presented by members of the Node-API team for all native add-on developers, covers recent enhancements to Node-API.

Support for multi-threaded and asynchronous programming in Node-API has been significantly improved. New abstractions such as thread-safe functions and the Addon class greatly simplify the effort needed to implement asynchronous add-ons. New helper methods support date objects, BigInts, retrieving object property names, and detaching ArrayBuffers.

Tools used to build and deploy native add-ons also continue to improve. Developers can build with CMake.js in addition to node-gyp. Prebuilding binaries significantly improves the experience of native add-on users. Deployment options permit serving these binaries from GitHub releases or bundling the binaries in the npm module itself.

I just submitted our proposal complete with Kevin's information. Fingers crossed!

jschlight commented 3 years ago

Our session proposal was accepted by OpenJS World! I'm reopening this issue for discussion at the next Node-API Team meeting.

Yay!

Nick will sent out a link so we can start building the slide deck.

I share the link for the team: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/122ZD8wXo4hTw-S3qVmukLkwkWJdGOEMK2bnOvk9KWVw/

KevinEady commented 3 years ago

Hi team @mhdawson @NickNaso @gabrielschulhof,

I would like some guidance about the focus of examples / code demonstrations in the slideshow. Should they be Node-API focused (eg. napi_create_async_work and napi_create_threadsafe_function) or node-addon-api focused (eg. AsyncWorker / AsyncProgressWorker and ThreadSafeFunction / TypedThreadSafeFunction)

Thanks, Kevin
