fuck shit dammit ass
what’s node?
event-driven non-blocking server-side
event-driven non-blocking server-side javascript
node’s goal is to provide an easy way to build
scalable network programs
node’s goal is to provide an easy way to build
scalable programs
make shit
make shit ^ better
make shit ^ better ™
Google V8 Engine
Google V8 Engine Makes Javascript really fucking fast ^
this is node
var http = require('http'); http.createServer(function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':
'text/plain'}); res.end('Hello World\n'); }).listen(1337, '127.0.0.1'); console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/');
complete webserver
var http = require('http'); http.createServer(function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':
'text/plain'}); res.end('Hello World\n'); }).listen(1337, '127.0.0.1'); console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/'); 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... in just 8 lines
that was node
why node?
new technology

fucking package it has a manager

npm
an amazing community

write less do more
asychronous I/O
“Get the fuck off of my CPU”
var data = file.read('scotty-labs.txt'); complexFileOperation(data); Old I/O
var data = file.read('scotty-labs.txt'); // Tie up the CPU while
I read that file complexFileOperation(data); Old I/O
I want to write the most inefficient program for your
CPU
I want to write the most inefficient program for your
CPU - no one, ever “ ”
Yet you do it every fucking day!
is I/O blocking Ruby Python Java SQL PHP
is I/O blocking Ruby Python Java SQL PHP by default
node is asynchronous
node has asynchronous I/O
var data = file.read('scotty-labs.txt', function(data) { complexFileOperation(data); }); // let
the CPU keep working in the meantime otherFunction(); New I/O
event-driven behavior
after I do this, I need to do that
after I do this, I need to do that
after this, do that
if x, then y
when I’m done shopping, I need to pay the bill
the Ruby way while(!poor) do (@amount ||= 0) += shop
end pay(@amount)
that makes 0 sense
the node way shop(function(amount) { pay(amount); });
fundamentally different way of thinking
fundamentally different type of programming
fundamentally different
and that’s okay
sometimes it really fucking sucks
there’s only one thread
Yay! No threading!
Shit! No threading!
var data = file.read('scotty-labs.txt', function(data) { complexFileOperation(data); }); // let
the CPU keep working in the meantime while(true) { ... } what does this do?
var data = file.read('scotty-labs.txt', function(data) { complexFileOperation(data); }); // let
the CPU keep working in the meantime while(true) { ... } what does this do?
var data = file.read('scotty-labs.txt', function(data) { // never fires });
// blocks the entire thread while(true) { ... } what does this do?
var data = file.read('scotty-labs.txt', function(data) { // never fires });
// blocks the entire thread while(true) { ... } nothing...
“my algorithms are tightly CPU-bound “
“my algorithms are tightly CPU-bound “ don’t use node
