Nodejs-code

So I recently found myself in the need of a backend server with a RESTful API. In the past I have used the Slim PHP framework with MySQL and found it quite satisfactory. But then I realized I had MySQL, I never want to deal with MySQL unions again and was done! Done I say!

For some reason people don't understand prototypical OO and start emulating classes in JavaScript.

So we'll walk through doing OO JavaScript...

I've been building my own blog from scratch with node.js and express. Progress has come along nicely and it's stable enough to persist content on.

Today I decided to give node.js a try on Mac OS X Lion. Having no real hands-on experience in node.js, and wanting to get something end-to-end up and running fast, so I went off in search for a good hands on tutorial.

In this article we are going to review a piece of NodeJS code and learn how to use some of its common modules.

Traditionally, applications have been defined by the principle technology they use. If you're building a Spring MVC application, we call it a Java app.

Koding gives developers a collaborative environment, a Linux server and open-source editors... lets developers create Web applications using HTML, Node.js, Perl, Python and Ruby; deploy Web widgets like WordPress; and create widgets for Web applications, as well as learn from other developers.

If you’ve been keeping tabs on me lately, you’ve probably picked up that I have a new project I’m working on: DownJS. I’m not going to get into the details of DownJS (that’ll be in another post), but there are some things that are blog-worthy about the DownJS system.

Today, Yahoo is open-sourcing Mojito, a bit of software that uses JavaScript and Node.js to run a single codebase on both the client and server side. Mojito is one of a few Node-centric projects Yahoo's been brewing.

When it comes time to deploy a node.js application, you’ll want to examine how you can benefit from your hardware and take advantage of multiple cpus. Node is single threaded, so having one process run your application on a server with more than one cpu isn’t optimal. Fortunately, like many things on node, it’s simple to do so.

The EventEmitter is the base building block for all compositions that would need to broadcast data to multiple consumers. Whenever there is an object that represents the source of several kinds of events, node.js usually makes the underlying class inherit from EventEmitter.

I've had to answer flow control issues repeatedly. Both in my own code-base and as answers to StackOverflow questions. All these problems can be handled with one of two methods. One issue is dealing with nested asynchronous tasks and the answer to this is to use middleware.

As many (if not all) of you know, I'm a python guy. I program every single day, and most days, that involves using python. I write Django code for fun and profit, and also do a fair amount of "raw" python coding (no frameworks).

Here is the portable version of Node.js, a platform for JavaScript server applications. The portable build contains the same files as the .msi distribution, along with a helper script that launches ...

Over the past few weeks and months I have used quite a bit of NodeJS and Redis when I am developing. Now I am nowhere near a full-time developer. I am mainly doing Lean Startup consulting, Agile Co...

Nodetime reveals response time and other internals of HTTP requests and underlying HTTP / database calls in your Node.js application. Coupled with related process and OS state information it enables tracing performance problems down to the root cause. Nodetime supports multiple APIs including native HTTP client and sockets, Express, Socket.io, Redis, MongoDB and MySQL.
