Notes from Ben Acker's talk at #noderoad PDX

Ben Acker (@nvcexploder / Walmart) - Node in Production

  • Impetus: Walmart wanted a mobile presence. They built an application that looked like it was created by a giant retail operation--SOAP services, etc.
  • Started looking for other options: native apps,
  • Started with services team (worked on original app, spinning out to other mobile apps)--all of a sudden had loads of different clients consuming the services. Converting old soap/XML into something mobile-friendly?
  • High volume days (black Friday) start taking services down, and services team already distracted by mobile projects
  • Time to start building better services
  • Brought Eran Hammer over from Yahoo and gave him the go-ahead to use anything he wanted to improve mobile services. He chose node.
  • Walmart's been open-source from the start
  • But how to maintain legacy services?

Notes from Nick Desaulniers on Convergence of the Browser and the OS

Convergence of the Browser and OS

Nick Desaulniers (Open Source @ Mozilla)

  • [What does "Open Source" mean to me?][1]

What would a desktop environment look like if it were implemented entirely in a browser?

Mysql Timestamp to JavaScript date

First, select the TIMESTAMP column as a UNIX_TIMESTAMP:

// in model
exports.find = function find (id, callback) {
  var sql = 'SELECT event, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`time`) as time FROM events WHERE id = ?';
  return db.query(sql, [id], callback);
};

Then build a new Date from the timestamp:
