Node.js for beginner

This document provides an introduction to Node.js for beginners. It defines Node.js as a server-side JavaScript platform that uses non-blocking I/O and an event-driven architecture. It discusses key Node.js concepts like callbacks, event loops, streams, and asynchronous programming. It also highlights how Node.js is well suited for building real-time applications and APIs due to its asynchronous and modular nature.

- 2. What is Node.js • Created by Ryan Dahl in 2009 • Server-side JavaScript • Uses V8 is an open source JavaScript engine developed by Google.Its written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome Browser • Event-driven with Non-blocking I/O • Single threaded • Current Version is 4.0.0
- 3. Node.js Foundation Fork of Node.js +
- 5. Blocking I/O
- 6. Blocking I/O 10 Sec 30 Sec
- 7. Blocking I/O 30 Sec 10 Sec Sum = 30 + 10
- 11. The two model of Async Processing • Callback function generally define logic for one-off responses.– Ex: perform a database query • Event listeners, are essentially callbacks that are associated with a conceptual entity (an event).–Respond to repeating events –EX: HTTP server emits a request event when an HTTP request is made
- 12. What is callback function? • A callback is a function,passed as an argument to an asynchronous function • It describes what to do after the asynchronous operation has completed Callback function
- 15. Stream
- 16. When to use Node.js? • Creating streaming based real-time services,web chat applications,static file servers etc. • Applications that have a lot of concurrent connections and each request only needs very few CPU cycles
- 17. The Essence of Node • JavaScript on the Server • More than server-side JavaScript • Fabulous framework • Asynchronous programming • Module-driven development
- 18. It’s is JavaScript • Easy to learn • Lets you unify your client/server logic • Productivity • Already in the Enterprise (Paypal,Netflix,Walmart,IBM)
- 19. More than server-side JavaScript • Web server • Robot controller (tessel.io) • Command line application • Proxy server • Music machine • Desktop application tooling: NW.js
- 24. Fabulous framework • Express • Restify (for building REST APIs, automatic DTrace support) • Hapi (configuration-centric framework) • Sails (fast production-ready) • Meteor (realtime application)
- 25. Module-driven development • Node Package Manager (NPM) • 180,000++ packages • 90,000,000++ downloads per day • Simplicity • Decoupled and reusable coding
- 28. The state of the registry • 1400MM package downloads last month • 150,000 packages in the registry • `Node` is moving faster than `Node.js`
- 29. Module-driven development • npm focused on module-driven development • ES6 Modules • Module-driven development for the browser • Browser tools: Browserify
- 30. Module-driven development for the browser bower install moment --save npm install moment --save
