"I was concerned about the ability to program advanced push
features into the website like I had seen in Gmail" Ryan Dahl the creator of Node.js
V8 Google's open source JavaScript engine. V8 can run standalone,
or can be embedded into any C++ application.
LibUV High performance evented I/O Originally based on LibEV switch
to LibUV with support of Windows
JavaScript Dynamic, prototype-based language Highly popular due to browser programming
http://jsconf.eu/2009/speakers.html
Why JavaScript? functions as first-class citizen
Why JavaScript? function as first-class citizen //closures..
JavaScript designed for event-oriented systems There was a natural fit
V8 + LibEV + JavaScript
“Node.js is a platform for easily building scalable network applications.
Node.js uses an event-driven (single threaded), non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient…” http://nodejs.org
Non Blocking I/O The concept of accessing I/O without blocking
of application
https://www.flickr.com/photos/papyrist/ Line to ATM is blocking I/O
Mac’s Drive is non-blocking I/O
None
execution started from first line.. Output:
async operation started… Output:
but execution goes on.. > ping Output:
after ~ms file is read… > ping > pong Output:
Event Driven Application flow is driven by events
http://misclassblog.com/interactive-web-development/node-js/
Single Threaded Single-thread programming concepts is more easy to understand.
Applications running in single thread are lightweight and efficient
“Node.js is designed for building efficient networking applications”
Core components: ! • HTTP / HTTPS • TCP /
UDP / Sockets • DNS • File System • Crypto / Arch • Events • Streams
Efficiency & Scalability Build-in server, high concurrency, horizontal scalability, clustering
NPM Node Package Manager - the richest collection of high
quality open source modules
None
