Developers love the platform. 
 Node.js " JavaScript " Web APIs " Native Code " Generates dynamic HTML and CSS Application Development in 2018 It's reliable. Proven value to the Enterprise Free, Open and …not yet Standardized @dshaw 

How did we get here? @dshaw 

Building the Web Platform Ecosystem " 1993 - CERN released the source code of World Wide Web into the public domain " 1993 - NCSA Mosaic released the first proprietary Browser for all platforms " 1994 - World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) founded by Tim Berners-Lee " 1994 - Marc Andreessen left NCSA and created Netscape (proprietary) " 1995 - Microsoft licenses Mosaic to create Internet Explorer (proprietary) " 1998 - The Web Standards Project (WaSP) began to champion the aligning browsers,
 at the time primarily Netscape and Microsoft, around shared standards, rather than proliferating proprietary extensions to HTML @dshaw 

The more we relied more on the Web Platform The more we want from it @dshaw 

Breaking the Open Web @dshaw 

@dshaw 

The Emerging Standards-based Web Platform " 2000 - Microsoft released Internet Explorer 5 Macintosh Edition
 with robust support for W3C standards " 2003 - Dave Shea launched CSS Zen Garden demonstrating how standards-based
 provided the a stable foundation for design innovation and creativity " 2003 - The web is evolving to be less document centric and more application focused [record scratch]
 W3C standards-ed too hard. They decided the future of markup was XML and XHTML.
 XHTML 2.0 was not backwards compatible. Developers hated it.

Growing a Standards-based Web Platform " 2004 - WHATWG was formed with the aim of writing a better HTML markup spec
 built for modern web applications, without breaking backwards compatibility " 2005 - Web Applications 1.0 spec released " 2009 - HTML5 finalized
 " 2009 - Node.js created by Ryan Dahl @dshaw 

Node.js Complements the Web Platform " 2009 - Node.js created by Ryan Dahl, developed in the open on GitHub
 Developers from around the world contribute and create the platform " 2011 - npm bundled with Node.js " 2014 - io.js fork " 2015 - Node.js embraces open governance with the formation of the Node.js Foundation " 2015 - Node.js v4 released along with a strategy for long-term support (LTS) releases @dshaw

A rising tide lifts all boats @dshaw 

The Next 25 Years " Proprietary platforms have consistently under-delivered over time
 " Open Source is not enough, eventually Open Governance is necessary
 " Standardization fails when done aspirationally
 " Innovate and then build standards around broad adoption @dshaw
