Workshop Suggestions

Possibly an introduction to JavaScript templating engines. What they are, why we should/shouldn't use them, options available to us.

I'd like to see some content about testing with any of the tools out there like Karma, Mocha, Jasmine, Jest or QUnit. Why it's good; how to think about tests when writing, etc.

On the Node side, something about Express or similar would be nice. Not necessarily full MEAN stack, but something about building/ using a server. Maybe even pushing the project to Heroku at the end.

I'd love to see a course or five covering React + Flux. And, since these are 'short form' content suggestions cough I'd also love to see something covering game development :)

Or, how awesome would it be to have some kind of 'arena bot battles' where we can program our own bots, to do battle, in an arena!

Please let me know when you're ready for some long form content suggestions.

create a REST API using Node.js, express and mongoDB will be good.

I like Julian Gutierrez 's response. I know there's an Angular course out there, but I know tons of companies out there are using Backbone too, and that's a very popular framework as well.

I would love to see more Angular content, and an overview course on MVC frameworks would be awesome too. Express would be great too, and potentially a MEAN stack course would be sick.

Also, this might be much... But I know three.js is all the buzz with WebGL now. Not super conducive to students landing their first job in coding, but I think it would be a fun side project.

A Workshop on Building a REST API with node.js would be great. RESTful services on the backend as done some amazing things. I think with the popularity of javascript on the backend nowadays, understanding how REST works with node.js would brings some great practical experience.
