node.js for hackathons - a presentation with its examples: node app, express, mysql, socket.io, twilio API.
Presented at PennApps 2012 and 2013.
If all you want is to check out the presentation, you can preview it at slideshare.
If you cloned the repo, you can see the presentation by simply opening Presentation.html in your browser.
However, the presentation is using some of the example code to set up a
socket.io server to sync the presenter with the viewers. For that,
follow the installation instructions, then run node socketio.js within the
examples folder, then connect to it from your browser using
http://localhost:8080/Presentation.html
To make the examples in the examples folder work, you'll need:
-
To have node install, go to the node.js site and download and install it. To verify it's installed, just run
node -vand hope it doesn't explode. -
Go into the examples folder and run
npm install. This will download all the modules required for these examples.
Then, just run node <anyfile.js> to see it in action.
