Note:

When this guide is more complete, the plan is to move it into Prepack documentation.
For now I put it out as a gist to gather initial feedback.

A Gentle Introduction to Prepack (Part 1)

If you're building JavaScript apps, you might already be familiar with some tools that compile JavaScript code to equivalent JavaScript code:

• Babel lets you use newer JavaScript language features, and outputs equivalent code that targets older JavaScript engines.

// # Mocha Guide to Testing
// Objective is to explain describe(), it(), and before()/etc hooks

// 1. `describe()` is merely for grouping, which you can nest as deep
// 2. `it()` is a test case
// 3. `before()`, `beforeEach()`, `after()`, `afterEach()` are hooks to run
// before/after first/each it() or describe().
//
// Which means, `before()` is run before first it()/describe()

function worker() {
  setInterval(function() {
    postMessage({foo: "bar"});
  }, 1000);
}

var code = worker.toString();
code = code.substring(code.indexOf("{")+1, code.lastIndexOf("}"));

var blob = new Blob([code], {type: "application/javascript"});

#Node - Running in Production This gist is based on the excellent post by @hacksparrow which is found at http://www.hacksparrow.com/running-express-js-in-production-mode.html. The main principle is that you want the application to detect that it is running on a production server and to use the production configuration. The way to do this is to set the NODE_ENV=production. To do this you need to do the following:

$ export NODE_ENV=production

But we have a little problem here. The NODE_ENV environment variable will be lost if the server restarts, so it is safer to put it in the .bash_profile file. That way the variable will set again every time the system reboots. You will find the file in your home directory. It's a hidden file, so you can't see it unless you do a ls -la. We will append the export command to the .bash_profile file.
