This is the code sample directory for the book Building Node Applications with MongoDB and Backbone. May have bumped versions and modified code where I felt it was nescessary.

2014 Conrado Buhrer

To view these samples simply step through each commit, and you'll progressively see the application grow. A small explanation on how to view each sample is presented always appended to this file. Each commit relates to a sub-topic o of each chapter in the book.

You'll need to install nodejs, on ubuntu 14.04 apt-get install node-js will install v0.10.30, which is what was used on these examples.

To get set up you may have to cd to the project directory and npm install and possibly repeat installation at each checkout, and (re-)run node app.js.

Introduction to Node.js

The following urls demo the sample code:

/stooges/[name]
/stooges/
/

The previous urls still demo the code, which was updated to use jade templates

Run node bin/2_6_events.js to demo events.

socket.io added, re-run npm install, demo here:

/stooges/chat/

Chapters 3 and 4 are not implemented for lack of functional code.

mongoose added, re-run npm install, yet not used in the chapter.

Only one commit for the entire project as it will only function as a whole.

The chapter adds basic scafolding for the project, there are a couple errata in the book.

• missing instruction to download underscore.js.
• missing instruction to download text.js.
• missing public/templates/index.html, simple hello world added here.
• conflicting use of public/js/lib and public/js/libs directory, lib used here.

Visit the following url to demo the application:
