Learning Node.js | Creative Alys. A Hands-On Guide to Building Web Applications in JavaScript Node.js makes it far easier to create fast, compact, and reliable web/network applications and web servers, and is rapidly becoming indispensable to modern web developers. Learning Node.js brings together the knowledge and JavaScript code you need to build master the Node.js platform and build server-side applications with extraordinary speed and scalability. You’ll start by installing and running Node.js, understanding the extensions it uses, and quickly writing your first app. Next, building on the basics, you’ll write more capable application servers and extend them with today’s most powerful Node.js tools and modules. PART I – LEARNING TO WALK Chapter 1. PART II – LEARNING TO RUN Chapter 4. PART III – WRITING WEB APPLICATIONS Chapter 7. PART IV – GETTING THE MOST OUT OF NODE.JS Chapter 10.

Documentation - Meteor. Meteor is an ultra-simple environment for building modern websites. What once took weeks, even with the best tools, now takes hours with Meteor. The web was originally designed to work in the same way that mainframes worked in the 70s. The application server rendered a screen and sent it over the network to a dumb terminal. Whenever the user did anything, that server rerendered a whole new screen. But the best teams, with the biggest budgets and the longest schedules, now build applications in JavaScript that run on the client. They've built them the hard way. Meteor is a work in progress, but we hope it shows the direction of our thinking. Quick start! The following works on all supported platforms. Install Meteor: $ curl | /bin/sh Create a project: $ meteor create myapp Run it locally: $ cd myapp $ meteor => Meteor server running on: Unleash it on the world (on a free server we provide): $ meteor deploy myapp.meteor.com Data on the Wire.

GitHub. Node.js. O'Reilly Reveals Preview for Its First Book on Node.js. Up and Running With Node, an as-yet-unpublished tome on Node.js, is available as an online preview for all interested parties — especially helpful and constructive commenters. O'Reilly Media's first "animal book" on the increasingly popular framework Node.js should be hitting store shelves sometime this summer. What you can see now is author Tom Hughes-Croucher's text, images and code samples, all of which are currently open for comments. As Hughes-Croucher writes in the Author's Note for the preview, "What you'll find within this first release is not necessarily the final work that we will publish. We hope by making this book available as it's written we'll get your feedback, ideas and thoughts on what I've already written and what else we should be covering.

" As O'Reilly describes it, "This book introduces you to Node, the new web development framework written in JavaScript. "Node is already winning the hearts and minds of many companies, including Google and Yahoo. Up and Running with Node.js. About this Documentation Node.js v0.8.14 Manual. The goal of this documentation is to comprehensively explain the Node.js API, both from a reference as well as a conceptual point of view.

Each section describes a built-in module or high-level concept. Where appropriate, property types, method arguments, and the arguments provided to event handlers are detailed in a list underneath the topic heading. Every .html document has a corresponding .json document presenting the same information in a structured manner. This feature is experimental, and added for the benefit of IDEs and other utilities that wish to do programmatic things with the documentation.

Every .html and .json file is generated based on the corresponding .markdown file in the doc/api/ folder in node's source tree. The documentation is generated using the tools/doc/generate.js program. The HTML template is located at doc/template.html. Stability Index# Throughout the documentation, you will see indications of a section's stability.

The stability indices are as follows: global# .
