This document provides an overview of Node.js, including: - Node.js uses a non-blocking and event-driven architecture that is well-suited for real-time applications. - It includes a short introduction to Node.js' core concepts like blocking vs non-blocking I/O. - The document outlines example applications, Node.js' ecosystem including modules and tools, and advanced topics like WebSockets and performance. - It concludes with a Q&A section.

- 23. (non-) Blocking IO • var rows = db.query(“SELECT * FROM…) • rows.forEach…
- 24. (non-) Blocking IO • db.query(“SELECT * FROM…”, function(rows) { rows.forEach… });
- 25. Why isn’t everybody doing it?
- 26. Why isn’t everybody doing it? • non-blocking can be hard
- 27. Why isn’t everybody doing it? • non-blocking can be hard • JS is an ideal language / community for this
- 28. Why isn’t everybody doing it? • non-blocking can be hard • JS is an ideal language / community for this • Ajax / DOM has taught events to millions of people
- 29. Why isn’t everybody doing it? • non-blocking can be hard • JS is an ideal language / community for this • Ajax / DOM has taught events to millions of people • node.js = network servers in JS
- 30. Example 1
- 32. Design Principles • non-blocking - every IO must take callback
- 33. Design Principles • non-blocking - every IO must take callback • API should be familiar to client-side JS programmers ans old school UNIX hackers
- 34. Design Principles • non-blocking - every IO must take callback • API should be familiar to client-side JS programmers ans old school UNIX hackers • built-in support for HTTP, DNS, TLS
- 35. Design Principles • non-blocking - every IO must take callback • API should be familiar to client-side JS programmers ans old school UNIX hackers • built-in support for HTTP, DNS, TLS • support advanced features (chunked encoding, pipelining, hanging requests for websockets etc.)
