SQL.js: SQLite Compiled to JavaScript via Emscripten Alon Zakai, the creator of Emscripten is back at it again, this time releasing SQL.js, which is a compilation of SQLite to JavaScript using his own.

Node.js for beginners, part 2. We take a look at what callbacks are and what makes them so useful for creating fast stable non-blocking code in Node.js.

Here are a few things I’d suggest thinking about when you are considering using Redis...

Up until about a week ago, I was using Mongoose-Auth, when I decided my app needed some cleaning up.

My problem involved traversing the filesystem and performing some tasks. For the sake of this blog post and for the sake of your attention span, the problem can be reduced to a simple algorithm that computes the total space that a directory and its contents use.

One scenario I am interested in is restarting a node app without the users noticing any down time. Of course there is lots of information online about doing this by load balancing between several node processes.

There are times on your website when you want to allow users to upload content from their local drive to your server e.g. user profile pictures....

This is a super quick tutorial on how to implement “login with facebook” using the Facebook JavaScript SDK. Bits of this tutorial were taken from the Facebook connect example.

The ultimate goal in this Node.js research is to successfully port an existing RESTful service.

All domains should have a www for backwards compatibility with what
early adopters of the internet have come to expect (and ctrl+enter adds it).
However, those domains should redirect to the root of the domain.

I always found it odd that accessing DOM elements with Ruby, or Python, wasn’t as easy as it was with jQuery. Many HTML parsing libraries employ Simple API for XML (SAX) that can handle extremely large XML documents, but is cumbersome and adds complexity.

This is the final post in a series of 3 about my first experiences with Node.js. In this post I will discuss my final thoughts from these experiences.

Backbone.js is an architectural framework that helps you write well-structured Web applications. It is not, however, a user interface framework and it therefore doesn’t help you with the way your application looks.

Recently, I was faced with a problem that required my Node.js programs process to execute another process and have the procoess that’s passed to the exec function completely replace the Node.js process. In short, I wanted an ‘exec’ function like Ruby’s ‘exec’ function.

It should be common knowledge that for certain types of automated tests, you do not want to rely on the availability of external services for a number of reasons....

NoSQL databases came back into the mainstream when developers needed better performance and were ok with giving up the relational aspect of RDBs (unions, joins, etc).

Guillermo Rauch, creator of SocketIO talks about how it delivers HTML5 WebSocket functionality in a cross-browser fashion. He also talks about effective development with Node.js and JavaScript in general.
