Let’s Build a Backend Together
We will use:
IDE:
What is Node.js?• Server-side Javascript
• Built on Google’s V8
• Include npm - Node Package Manager
• Written in C++
• Evented. Non blocking I/O
Non Blocking I/O?
var result = db.query(‘select * from t’);
db.query(‘select * from t’, function (result) { // do something with the result});
Node.js Introduction
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/');
Target: Creating a logging server in less than 10 min
{ "userid": "1234", "screen": "main Screen", "log": "NetworkOnMainThreadException" }
DemoCoding, fun!
