7. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development Disclaimer • I know you can do similar development in: Python, Ruby, PHP, .NET yada yada … • I am not promoting that this is the best or only or the righteous path to do web development • Tool for the job • The point is never stop experimenting • Don’t develope programming prejudices
8. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development Gateway to MEAN Resources • This slide deck is intended to be a gateway to MEAN resources • Hands on workshop making Apps and get help from experienced developers • Questions on the mailing list • Email me • Drop into the MakerSpace on our Monday Evening open night

19. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development Homework: Git Tutorial
20. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development JavaScript
21. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development JavaScript • Developed in 10 days in 1995 • Considered a toy language by developers • It has bad parts and good parts • Some bad parts are really bad • Some good parts are excellent • Making use of a subset of the good parts has improved the use of the language
22. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development JavaScript • The universal programming language of the web • Installed on almost every smartphone and desktop web browser • Mac OSx now supports building apps with JavaScript • Google’s V8 and Rhino’s JavaScript engines bring JavaScript to the server, enabling MEAN full stack development

27. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development • Released in 2009 by Ryan Dhal • Was keen to develop a non blocking event driven IO web framework • Utilises Google’s V8 engine to execute code • Node is modular and has many packages written in JavaScript and managed by the Node Package Manager (NPM)
28. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development Installation Install Node on Linux Install Node on Mac Install Node on Windows Available in all major distribution repositories Available from Node website Available from Node website Ubuntu $ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash - $ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Fedora, RHEL, CentOS $ curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup | bash - $ sudo yum install -y nodejs Arch $ sudo pacman -S nodejs Binary Source code http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.33/node-v0.10.33.tar.gz See: Installation Instructions for other distributions Download installer from http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.33/node-v0.10.33.pkg Install from source http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.33/node-v0.10.33.tar.gz Install Node for Windows http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.33/node-v0.10.33-x86.msi
29. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development • Mongo is a NoSql database • Document oriented storage • Stores JSON objects as BSON (binary JSON) {"employees":[ {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}, {"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"}, {"firstName":"Peter", "lastName":"Jones"} ]} • Written in JavaScript • Autosharding • Replication and High Availability
30. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development • Documents are similar to native data types in modern languages (Python Dict, Ruby Hash etc) • Embedded documents and arrays reduce the need for expensive joins • It does not support transactions, so not ACID compliant • It is not a relational database Check out the Documentation for more information: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/
31. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development Installation Install MongoDB on Linux Install MongoDB on Mac Install MongoDB on Windows Available in all major distribution repositories Available from MongoDB website Available from MongoDB website Ubuntu Installation Documentation http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ Fedora, RHEL, CentOS Installation Documentation http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-red-hat- centos-or-fedora-linux/ Arch Installation Documentation https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MongoDB See: Installation Instructions for other distributions Download installer from https://fastdl.mongodb.org/osx/mongodb-osx-x86_64- 2.6.5.tgz?_ga=1.122936971.1837973966.1416410993 Install from source https://fastdl.mongodb.org/src/mongodb-src-r2.6.5.tar. gz?_ga=1.152755129.1837973966.1416410993 Install MongoDB for Windows https://fastdl.mongodb.org/win32/mongodb-win32- x86_64-2008plus-2.6.5-signed.msi?_ga=1. 92509981.1837973966.1416410993

33. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development Installation Global installation in node $: npm install -g express Create a express project $: express MEAN Run the server $: node app.js Open your browser http://localhost:3000
34. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development • Frontend JavaScript framework • MVC framework • Embeds custom tag attributes within the HTML, which are interpreted as Angular directives that bind to a model, which are a mix of JavaScript variables and JSON objects
35. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development Introducing your toolbox http://yeoman.io/ http://gruntjs.com/ http://gruntjs.com/
36. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development • A scaffolding tool for setting up your webapps • Uses web app templates, which are called generators • Install Yeoman and the web app generator $: npm install -g yo $: npm install -g generator-webapp • Create a web app $: mkdir myApp $: cd myApp $: yo webapp
37. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development • A package manager for your webapps • It fetches and installs your frameworks, libraries, assets and utilities • Install Bower $: npm install -g bower • Create a web app $: mkdir myApp $: cd myApp $: bower install jquery
38. MEAN and Hybrid Mobile Development • A task runner, which does the tedious tasks for you • Minification, unit testing, linting, compilation, live reloading of browser • Install Grunt $: npm install -g grunt-cli • A grunt file contains the tasks to be run:
