A Simple MVC Setup In Node.JS I’m sure many of you have heard about the new server side javascript project called node.js. I’ve been using myself to build full stack dynamic websites and find it a very nice environment to create a dynamic website. When I first started out I had no idea what sort of way one should create an MVC style framework with node or what modules would help me to achieve the model, view, controller ideal. Heres my stack: Node.js ( of courseNPM ( to easily install packages for node.Express ( – a very nice web development framework built on connect (allows “controllers”)Mongoose ( – a solid orm for mongodb in node.js that just released a much improved version (allows “models”)Jade ( – a template engine for node that allows some cool shorthand (allows “views”)Other tools were used of course but those were the essentials.

Redis How to Scrape Web Pages with Node.js and jQuery Node.js is growing rapidly; one of the biggest reasons for this is thanks to the developers who create amazing tools that significantly improve productivity with Node. In this article, we will go through the basic installation of Express, a development framework, and creating a basic project with it. What We're Going to Build Today Node is similar in design to, and influenced by, systems like Ruby's Event Machine or Python's Twisted. Node takes the event model a bit further - it presents the event loop as a language construct instead of as a library.

The reason for this is to make it easier to add game elements into the game by using addChild to add into a div container. The index.html should be modified to look like this: [c] <! Hierarchically, the main container is "content" div. The main.css should be modified to look like this: We assigned the images, which were previously embedded in the html, as background-image of the div style-sheets. We are also modifying the main.js by adding a new function named onMouseMoveHandler(). You can see the result playing in the browser below (I tested with Firefox 3 and iPhone Simulator on the Mac).
