Node.js VM: Developing an External Plugin System Within Your Web App | Douglas Gubert

This talk was given at Codementor Event’s annual developer conference, and it covers:
- Why external plugins?
- Environment requirements for the system
- The Node.JS virtual machine Module
- The structure of a plugin
- Interacting with a plugin

When Douglas is not coding and worrying about developer experience and code semantics, he is studying languages or playing video-games with his kid.
