ECE497 Notes on node.js

I'm working up and example on node.js. Here are some notes.

Links

 * This looks like a good tutorial.
 * Here's looks like some notes notes from Jason.
 * Understanding node.js

 * YouTube intro to node.js
 * Understanding the node.js event loop
 * Useful node.js tools
 * Asynchronous Code Design with Node.js
 * Installing node.js, cloud9 and npm
 * cloud9 development process.
 * Manual for node.js
 * Geddy and node.js. Geddy is a simple and structured MVC (model, view, controller) framework for Node.js. The tutorial is too detailed for what I'm looking for.


 * Node.js in Action. Buy this one. It looks pretty good.  It pointed me to the following two links.
 * A re-introduction to JavaScript
 * JavaScript: The Good Parts. This may be a pirated copy.  Better buy the real one.

Socket.io looks like a good way to pass data to the browser.

Cloud9
Somehow Cloud9 fits in with this.

I'm trying to get cloud9 running on the Beagle.

beagle$ opkg update beagle$ opkg install nodejs (1min 6 sec) beagle$ opkg install nodejs-dev (I don't know if this is needed.)

Something from Jason

beagle$ opkg install bonescript beagle$ opkg install cloud9

Here’s how to get npm according to http://npmjs.org/

beagle$ opkg install curl (1m23) beagle$ opkg install nodejs (1m6) beagle$ curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh (1m5)

It's said this will work on a current distribution of Angstrom, but it doesn't work for me. beagle$ opkg install cloud9

non-Beagle
Here are instructions for a non-Beagle install from here.

host$ git clone git://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9.git (16 seconds) host$ cd cloud9 host$ bin/cloud9.sh

then host$ node ./bin/cloud9.js

gitting examples
git clone git://gitorious.org/~Jadon/beagleboard-validation/jadons-education.git (10s)
