Install Notepad++ instead. It’s free and it will make your life easier.

@chapel: I just had an interesting conversation about Node.js and websocket.io with one of the best programmers I know. Can you point me in the right direction if I want to learn how to seamless stream data between front and back end? A tutorial with some sample code would be perfect.

So there are a lot of options for this, but it matters what your specific application would be.

Do you have any Javascript/Node.js experience? Any libraries you’ve used already?

#34

I can write JavaScript if I have to and, but I have not real experience with using libraries. A crash course on Node.js would probably be a good start.

#35

I would start with Nodeschool.io, there is a lot of information and good things to learn.

You should start with the core ones, and if any of the electives are interesting follow through with them. I can guide you as far as what to get into after the core ones if you’d like, but definitely start with the core ones.

I don’t see any specific to websockets, but tbh that is only a small part of using node, but it is a useful part. You would need to get used to everything else otherwise you might get overwhelmed.

Thanks!

That list should change significantly when Haskell starts being used for the web. Sad to see so much VB, Perl and Ruby around.

#44

What are people going to use Haskell for? Will it replace any of the current popular languages?

Woo! The new iOS update boosts the frame rate of my next game from 17 to 60. iOS9 has been horrible for development.

the functional paradigm will see increased popularity in general, I think. ∗

both elixir and haskell will see growth in popularity thanks to their potential in effectively handling concurrency at scale and the lower number of bugs that tend to result from code following a type-safe, functional paradigm. †

I’d be happy to see D lang get more exposure. I think it represents a better C++ substitute than go or rust.

∗ in my opinion…
