  2. JS become a ECMA (European Computer Manufacturers Association) standard by 1997. It remains a standard in client- side app overyears.  JavaScript created in 1995 by BrendanEich (@Netscape labs).  Google V8, chrome, Sep2008  Node createdin2009 by Ryan Dahl using V8 power (c++& javascript) : With Node JS start being as a server-sidelanguage.

  3. Highly scalable web servers for webapplications. Web services (RESTfulAPI) Real-Time apps as its supportsWeb-Sockets. App with queuedinputs. Data streamingapps.

  4.  Single-threaded execution with the use of callback functions => not resource- intensive • suitable for high latency I/O operations e.g: databaseaccess • Scalable as it combines Server and application logic in one singleplace

  5.  Node is event-driven, it handles all requests asynchronously from on single thread.  Aevent loop is used to schedule tasks in the event-drivenprogramming.  Node programmingstyle is christened Continous-Passing Style (CPS): Every asynchronous function has at least a Callback function as one of its parameters. This later is call after the asynchronous section isexecuted. var fs =require("fs"); fs.readFile ("foo.txt", "utf8", function(error, data){ if (error){ throwerror; } console.log(data); }); console.log("Reading file...");

  6.  Using asyncmodule  Using process.nextTick()trick: functionadd(x,y,callback){ setTimeout(function() { callback(x +y); },0); } add(2, 3, console.log); console.log("The sum is:"); function add (x,y,callback) { process.nextTick(function() { callback(x +y); }); } add(2, 3, console.log); console.log("The sum is:");

  7.  Non-blocking has always to do with I/O (filesystem, database,…)  The following code is asyn but notNon-blocking: function add (x,y,callback) { process.nextTick(function(){ while (1){ callback(x +y); } }); } add(2, 3, console.log); console.log("The sum is:");

  8.  Install NodeJS: http://nodejs.org/download/

  9.  Create a app.js file with the followingcode: •  Start your server by issuing the followingcmd: • > nodeapp.js Nb: NodeJS has got aREPL!

  10.  NodeJS extensions are known asmodules •  NodeJS is being backed by an active community whichprovides • an overwhelming number ofmodules •  NPM command is used to install and manage newmodules: • Ex: • npm installasync • npm installasync@1.0.x • npm install –gasync • npm serach<MODULE_NAME> • npmoutdated • npm update npm–g • npm rmasyn •  « require(<MODULE_NAME>)» is used to load a givenmodule

  11.  ExpressJS helps to fit web projects to MCV designpattern •  To installExpressJS: • > npminstall –g express •  Express has got a scafolding capability that help you create asustainable • project structure, easy to extend andmaintain.Express-generator isthe module dedicated to thatjob. • > npminstall –g express-generator

  12.  Find a ExpressJS app example on myGITHUB: • https://github.com/ndjido/NodeJS_intro
