Hello there, I'll be making a hands on with a class of 40 studends, their level of experience is unknown, I'm assuming that they know something about programming.
I have three hours to try to convert them to the dark side and give them a pleasant experience with Node.js. We will be using Win7 machines without any compiler, unfortunatelly I couldn't choose the OS :-( I'm thinking in a lineup like this: - Basic Node.js introduction - Installing Node.js - The REPL (everyone writing a simple code and try to debug with console.log) - Async programming and callbacks (again everyone writes simple exemples with the timeouts and intervals) - Introdution to NPM (everyone writes their own package.json) - Introduction to the fs module (examples with txts dumping and REPL) - Introduction to the net module (everyone writing the basic hello world with the http interface) - Basic web server with some routes and .html dumping from the fs (everyone writing again) I think it's missing the end, something that they would say "I can't believe that I made this by my own and it's so awesome!" Some TCP chat maybe? I would write the server and everyone will write the client. But chat? If you type Node.js on Google the 10000 first things that comes out are chat examples, it's kinda boring. What you think? Any ideas? :-) -- Att, Alan Hoffmeister -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
