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!
