Perfect timing to see this on HN. I was thinking about playing with either Hadoop or Node.js tonight (both for the first time), I guess this post made up my mind. It's installing now. This is exciting to work with, and a lot different for me being a long time C# developer moving to the Linux world.
C# developer here too. It appears most developers never learn the more advanced bits about javascript. With node.js you really benefit from knowing javascript well. One thing that struck me was how easy it was to identify repeating patterns in my code and refactor them, much more easily than in C#. Good luck, hope you'll have as fun as I have with node!
Hello World. It worked :) In general, I love JavaScript so I don't see why I wouldn't like Node. I'll have to write a real program to truly have an opinion.
What's the best way to start and keep Node running?
They are going very fast, just changed out for a module that is a fork of a fork of a module made for .2 line that keeps getting obsoleted with every point release
