Synopsis

At the top of the file there should be a short introduction and/ or overview that explains what the project is. This description should match descriptions added for package managers (Gemspec, package.json, etc.)

Code Example

Show what the library does as concisely as possible, developers should be able to figure out how your project solves their problem by looking at the code example. Make sure the API you are showing off is obvious, and that your code is short and concise.

# Script to switch a Huawei Modem from Mass Storage to Modem in Ubuntu using usb_modeswitch
# (after inserting usb, run repeatedly until device is switched to modem.
# If you wait too long device wont switch and you need to remove it,
# reconnect the usb device and run script again)

# Btw. If you stumble on this while looking for a solution to your Huawei modem problems... There may be better ways:

/**
 * $.unserialize
 *
 * Takes a string in format "param1=value1&param2=value2" and returns an object { param1: 'value1', param2: 'value2' }. If the "param1" ends with "[]" the param is treated as an array.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * Input:  param1=value1&param2=value2
 * Return: { param1 : value1, param2: value2 }

"How do I get started with Node?" is a commonly heard question in #Node.js. This gist is an attempt to compile some of the answers to that question. It's a perpetual work-in-progress.

And if this list didn't quite answer your questions, I'm available for tutoring and code review! A donation is also welcome :)

Setting expectations

Before you get started learning about JavaScript and Node.js, there's one very important article you need to read: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years.

Understand that it's going to take time to learn Node.js, just like it would take time to learn any other specialized topic - and that you're not going to learn effectively just by reading things, or following tutorials or courses. _Get out there and build things!

I added a few methods to three-orbit-controls to be able to manually define phi or theta and be able to rotate to a given point.

// rotation in Y
controls.setAzimuthalAngle(theta);

// rotation in X
controls.setPolarAngle(phi);
