I work full time in a PHP and JavaScript team but we are looking at a new technology to adopt. We want to dive into node.js however we all want to get the same book but we have no idea which would be the best.
Any recommendations ?
Also links would be good.
Regards
Oliver
There are no real - like in actual wood - books out yet, Yahoo! Press has one in the works though, title will be "Up and Running With Node.js".
Right now there's a community driven e-Book from the makers of the express.js framework, its source code is also available on GitHub.
If you like videos, then should check out a couple of talks by Node's creator Ryan Dahl:
Introducion to Node.js - YUI Theater (May 2010)
GoogleTeckTalk - JavaScript on the Server (July 2010)
Techniques for a single stack world - JSConf.eu (Sep 2010)
You can find even more links on our tag wiki.
PS: Best thing IMO is to start a little side project and use that to explore Node.js.

Hi to all Cool developers.
I am here for a helping guide that able to make me start my first Hybrid web+mobile application.
My Project:
I am going to build my final Project in Computer Science. The project i choose is a website that will serve as a platform for all Educational related info like Universites, Admissions, Scholarships, Carrers, Free Courses, Instituite recommednder e.t.c. Reference website: http://www.eduvision.edu.pk/
Technologies I have in mind to work on:
My main focus is to built it in using Node, express and Mongodb(Mongoose).
My Confusions:
As my website is heavily database oriented, what is best way to built it?
How to make it interactive and easily navigate?
How can I make it Hybrid? I know React native is used for this. But what's the procedure? Will I have to keep this in mind while developing my web application?
What frameworks and libraries I should use?
It would be a huge help.
Thanks
this look similar to me.hi anyways!you wanna choose is a website that will serve as a platform for all Educational related info like Universites, Admissions, Scholarships, Carrers, Free Courses by using mean stack ok its a new user friendly technology.to be honest you can build a website called (college management system).
where in this the students in the college will be a part of this website and all the details of the students will be in database when they register.and with this application it is helpful for the students to view their attendence and updates which were given by the college management.by using a framework like bootstrap,material design you can interact and easily navigate.as coming to the main question that you want to choose a website that will serve as a platform for all Educational related info like Universites, Admissions, Scholarships, Carrers, Free Courses.this is perfectly applicable.where universities can post Admissions,Scholarships can be posted in this website which is useful for the students.and also they will be aware of the attendence.which can be viewed by them daily and their will be no bluffing in it.and universites which can also update their information if any emergency required.to let the students know immediately.
as i already mention bootstarp and material design are the best framework to use and additionaly i am advising you to use visual code (IDE) for developing the project.because it is easy to use and user friendly.and you can also refer library called Quackit which gives best experience for you.and it is the best project for you to build in final year.
My freind and I want to setup a collaborative project where we both work on a HTML file (and do PHP) at the same time (bit like Google Docs share feature). I want to be able to work with him to teach him certain things in PHP and HTML while I also code at the same time. Any suggestions? I have a VPS I thought we could use for it so nothings really going to get in our way. Maybe something like GIT or something?
Sounds like what you need is a real-time collaborative text editor. Here's an extensive list from wikipedia.
I use Google Docs personally but Microsoft has added this type of functionality into Office and there are a slew of desktop and online tools on that link. I had looked into Etherpad before but i don't remember enough to suggest one or the other. All of the links are on the wikipedia article so I won't repeat here.
I wanted to learn Sencha touch. the problem is i don't know Ext JS programming. I have intermediate background with jquery, html, php ad sql. I also have started using jquery mobile and phonegap, but I found that jquery mobile has loads of bugs so I decided to give sencha touch a try. I have checked their well documented API docs but I find it difficult to understand the flow and the syntax.
I also found the book Sencha In Action by manning publications but it looks like this is not out for public use yet.
Can anyone with good knowledge about sencha direct me the better way to start? Do I have to learn Ext JS first? I found loads of books about Ext JS in amazon. A beginner's approach would be helpful.
Many thanks all.
I personally recommend you to follow this tutorial step by step. It helped me a lot. Thanks to Jorge for his wonderful example.Here is the link.

Some people will say you should check out the Ext JS books to establish a foundation with the framework first as the two are very similar. However, I would recommend that while that may be fine for most folk, you would now be learning two frameworks. They are siblings, not twins.
Have a look at the Sencha Touch Cookbook that was just published, follow the tutorials and cruise the threads, both here and the Sencha Forum.
Also note that Sencha Touch 2 Beta 1 was just released yesterday and it is way closer to Ext JS4 than ST1 and if you start with ST2, you might be better off going this route.

Does anyone have tips or an ebook that can give me a good foundation on how to create applications in lotus notes using web browsers instead of clients. Links or tips are much appreciated.
Thanks!
Books are a good starter. But you'll find there is alot more to it than you see in books. So, here is a quick list of places to look.
Books
You've got these options for books (all downloadable as eBooks to)
Classic Web development prior to Notes 8.5 -- Reviews here and here
Latest Web stuff with Xpages if you have Notes 8.5+ (kindle/paper)
There are IBM wiki's (html). But have found the IBM wiki experience underwhelming. (The adjectives "half-ar$ed" and "piece-meal" comes to mind alot when reading these.)
IBM's redbook site (pdf/html) has better produced content than the wiki's.
Sites
One of the best web development tip/technique sites for the trickier problems is codestore.net and nsftools.com
OpenNtf a well used site for free code and solutions written by alot of smart people.
Quite a few good bloggers have "coagulated" on planetLotus
Try Searching for XPages in Google. Or start here
If you enable http on the server, you should be able to see your domino applications from the web. You then need to modify them to make them a bit more web friendly. The basic technique for this is to have 2 design elements with the same alias, hide one from notes and the other from the web. This will make it a bit easier to make it functional from both the client and the web browser.
Other functionality which makes this a bit easier would be 'Pass through HTML', the Domino CGI Variables and the 'WebQueryOpen' and 'WebQuerySave' events. As Jasper points out, XPages is the new sparkling way to do this, but it might not be an option for existing systems (It requires the latest version of Domino server). Good Luck!
What version of Domino are you running? If it's an 8.5 variant, I would suggest you use XPages to bring your old client apps to the web (XPages are not an option in releases prior to 8.5).
As to how you go about this, that's well beyond the scope of an answer on Stack Overflow: it's a book in and of itself! To learn about web development with XPages, I suggest visiting some of the well-known sites out there, and perhaps picking up a course or two. Here are some links:
http://xpages101.net
http://www.qtzar.com/blogs/qtzar.nsf/htdocs/LearningXPages.htm
http://notesin9.com/
(Also, IBM publish a book on XPages development, although I've not read it).
With regards "classic" Domino development, your best bet is to view your existing Notes app in a web browser and then start hacking on the default HTML generated (which is nasty). The best single resource out there for classic Domino web development tips and hacks is Jake Howlett's Codestore
Start small, build yourself a small database with a subset of data and explore what you can do. I've been a notes client developer for 10+ years and doing domino web work for last three or four years and still on steep learning curve. Its a very powerful platform but you also need to know html as on many occasions the html that you see in the browser helped me pin down the faults in my application code.
I've been using CakaPHP and Kohanaphp but now I want to try out other frameworks from a more sophisticated OOP language for my next projects.
How can I learn the following frameworks quickly so I can immediately pick what to use:
Pylons
Sinatra
Ramaze
Tutorials and examples from online resources would really be great.
For php developers who've already underwent this learning experience, please share yours.
Thanks
Regarding Pylons. There is a good introductory book written by one of the creators of Pylons. It is freely available online at http://pylonsbook.com/
For Ramaze, see:
the website
the wiki
the book
the mailing list
the IRC channel
You can also learn about setting up Sinatra with Google's App Engine (via jRuby) here: http://code.google.com/p/appengine-jruby/
Fairly quick and easy setup.
There's also this screencast at PeepCode https://peepcode.com/products/sinatra
