io.js - what you need to know

io-logo-substack

  • io is a fork of node v0.12 (the next stable version of node.js, currently unreleased)
  • io.js will be totally compatible with node.js
  • the people who created io.js are node core contributors who have different ideas on how to run the project
  • it is not a zero-sum game. many core contributors will help maintain both node.js and io.js

private npm repo namespace idea so that private registries don't have to replicate the entire public NPM registry or you don't have to do some sort of conditional proxying.
// A module published to a private registry would optionally have a "registry"
// property that is a reference to the registry where this module is published.
//
// A `npm publish` would publish to the registry in the registry property.
//
// Otherwise, `npm --registry http://private.me:5984/registry/_design/app/_rewrite publish`

Tips for Writing Portable Node.js Code

Node.js core does its best to treat every platform equally. Even if most Node developers use OS X day to day, some use Windows, and most everyone deploys to Linux or Solaris. So it's important to keep your code portable between platforms, whether you're writing a library or an application.

Predictably, most cross-platform issues come from Windows. Things just work differently there! But if you're careful, and follow some simple best practices, your code can run just as well on Windows systems.

Paths and URLs

On Windows, paths are constructed with backslashes instead of forward slashes. So if you do your directory manipulation
