On my employers blog I wrote a piece about a new feature of Hippo called pipelines that can be used to create new content channels. We have created an rss feed using the standard components of Hippo combined with the Rome project. If you are interested you can read the blog post here: http://blog.dutchworks.nl/2011/12/13/embedding-rss-in-hippo-using-the-pipelines-feature/ Recently I have been doing a lot with Node.js. It is a nice server technology that enables you to program on the server like you program on the client. Wouldn’t it be nice to create a java based business logic backend but a light weight client and server backend. Communication between node.js and java is done in two ways in the sample. We use http and json for querying the data and for providing new data. Next to that I have an event system that pushes events with new data to the clients using nowjs. The following image gives you an idea about the overall solution.
If you want to find out more about this sample read on. Continue reading Combining java and Node.js through redis pub/sub and a json remote interface I am learning about Node.js. While learning I usually create a few demo’s. Another thing I am attending a training for is learning how to give good presentations. I had to prepare a 10 minute presentation. Would be nice if I could combine the learning about Node.js with the 10 minute presentation. I decided to create a Node.js application to give the presentation. So no Keynote for me this time. In this blog post I present you an additional sample, focussed on creating presentations as a programmer. I’ll use a few node.js modules: Jade, Express. On my employers blog I wrote an extensive article about Node.js, you can have a look at the article as well. http://blog.jteam.nl/2011/04/18/learning-node-js/ About a week a go I bought myself a Synology. A very nice product with reasonable value for money. Especially if you consider the options you have if you are not scared to get your hands dirty. Agreed the graphical admin console is nice, but the linux options are even nicer. I wanted to have a cheap solution to host a node.js server at home. In the end I am glad I made the choice for this model. In this blog post I will provided as much steps that I can remember and or wrote down while installing a node.js server on my Synology. This was not the easiest thing I have ever done. If I can help some others that want to get more out of their Synology my hours of work are worth it. Continue reading Installing Node.js on my new Synology With a colleague I was talking about Node.js. My first though, “yeah right, JavaScript on the server!”. But you have to be open minded if you want to learn new stuff. Therefore I thought about giving it a spin. I started looking for resources on the web, read a few of them and ended up at the article : express-mongo. This article was the beginning of my Node.js journey. In this blog item I want to show you the steps I took, the resources I found useful and some improvements to the article that seems a bit outdated. It is not an explanation of what Node.js is, but it does provide some help to get started on your own. Continue reading First steps with Node.js |
