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
• How to node. Looks like this also has some nice JavaScript tutorials.
• 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.
• Install jslint for node.js with sudo npm -g install jslint. Details here.

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)
