plain vanilla node.js intro tutorial to learn a lot in the shortest time.

The plan is to take a simple nodejs server. and add to it simple file serving capabilities. also to have a custom responce to a certien url. to be able to make a simple api in addition of serving files.

goals:

  • to learn read the documentation
  • to understand the whole concept
  • to use some api for hands on expirience
  • streach goal: learn basic npm usage.

Example Nginx configuration for adding cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) support to reverse proxied APIs
#
# CORS header support
#
# One way to use this is by placing it into a file called "cors_support"
# under your Nginx configuration directory and placing the following
# statement inside your **location** block(s):
#
# include cors_support;
#
# As of Nginx 1.7.5, add_header supports an "always" parameter which

RevealJS SVG fragment presenter

SVG fragment builds for reveal.js

Basic use case

  • make an SVG (maybe in inkscape)
    • save it someplace reveal.js can find it (maybe next to your presentation)
    • figure out how to identify them (maybe use named layers)
  • in reveal.js/index.html
    • add reveal-svg-fragment.js as a dependency
    • in a <section> of reveal.js markup
  • add data-svg-fragment="" to something, e.g.

Ideas and guidelines for architecting larger applications in Elm to be modular and extensible

Architecture in Elm

This document is a collection of concepts and strategies to make large Elm projects modular and extensible.

We will start by thinking about the structure of signals in our program. Broadly speaking, your application state should live in one big foldp. You will probably merge a bunch of input signals into a single stream of updates. This sounds a bit crazy at first, but it is in the same ballpark as Om or Facebook's Flux. There are a couple major benefits to having a centralized home for your application state:

  1. There is a single source of truth. Traditional approaches force you to write a decent amount of custom and error prone code to synchronize state between many different stateful components. (The state of this widget needs to be synced with the application state, which needs to be synced with some other widget, etc.) By placing all of your state in one location, you eliminate an entire class of bugs in which two components get into inconsistent states. We also think yo

Pull Request Etiquette

Pull Request Etiquette

Why do we use a Pull Request workflow?

PRs are a great way of sharing information, and can help us be aware of the changes that are occuring in our codebase. They are also an excellent way of getting peer review on the work that we do, without the cost of working in direct pairs.

Ultimately though, the primary reason we use PRs is to encourage quality in the commits that are made to our code repositories

Done well, the commits (and their attached messages) contained within tell a story to people examining the code at a later date. If we are not careful to ensure the quality of these commits, we silently lose this ability.
