Nodejs-code

In this tutorial I am going to guide you around in working with Node.js!

Get started with node.js. Create a hello world appUse modules

I've been playing around with node.js a lot recently, because, well, server-side JavaScript is the future of web development, at least for rich internet applications.

If you’ve been using Adobe Shadow to preview your local content, you may have run into a sticky issue – namely that if you’re using Virtual Hosts to serve up private local content, you ca...

From Google Search, I learned that in order to have a responsive web app, it is critical to both render pages on the server and in the browser. Google can afford to do this, because it has so many engineers and speed is of paramount importance to search.

Just like PHP, JavaScript supports Exceptions - only they're called Errors. However, due to the asynchronous nature of Node.js, the classic try/catch strategy doesn't work.

I wrote my own screen scraping module built on PhantomJS, but unfortunately it’s too slow for most screen scraping tasks that don’t require browser-side JavaScript. One easy way to scra...

At Flowdock, we have currently four different Node.js apps. Worst case scenario: they all could require a different Node version. This blog post explains how to use chef and capistrano to deploy multiple Node.js versions.

My favorite web technology is quickly becoming the WebSocket API. WebSocket provides a welcomed alternative to the AJAX technologies we've been making use of over the past few years. This new API provides a method to push messages from client to server efficiently and with a simple syntax.

Well, finally found a work around for the 1.4GB limit imposed on the V8 heap. This limitation was at first a “hard” limit, and after some tweaks it became a “soft” limit. Now, the combined tweaks listed below have removed the limit entirely!

Node.js can provide parsing, processing, and hosting of JavaScript and hypermedia content in a number of ways. Node.js behaves in a very different way than other web servers. Apache, IIS, NGINX, and related web servers all have tons of options around configuration, static and dynamic pages, processing content, and security features. This makes these servers vastly more complex, but with their longevity have come lots of how-to’s, documentation, and tooling around their setups.

We are going to walk through building a fairly simple IRC bot that will log all the conversation in a channel as a means of archiving data.

JavaScript has certainly seen a big upswing in the past couple of years. In particular, Node.js has caught a lot of attention and has a lot of people talking. Node.js self-describes as an “Event-...

So we built a real-time bidding system! Why? Because one of our clients needed it. Our customer bridges the gap between vendors and customers. (Cannot reveal more specifics like the domain etc.) Cu...

I am a big fan of node.js but I have a big problem with the core team. No need to hide it and pretend everything is OK. The fibers vs. callback war erupted again this week on the mailing list, &hel...

This post its a part of a series about creating an app with node.js and express for Facebook... this time for mobile browsers

During the dev cycle here at Mind Candy it is useful to have tools to help automate some of the more repetitive tasks, for example, registering a user.

Remote simulation via the web is an interesting subject. WebGL and other technologies opens up awesome rendering possibilities, even on mobile devices. When the simulations are getting heavier we may want to do the number crunching on a "larger" machine somewhere else.

As usual, this year’s JSConf did not fail to deliver. The parties, the location, the talks, the food, it was incredible. Chris Williams (and the rest of the JSConf family) really put together an incredible event.
