What is JavaScript actually used for?

Nice examples, fretburner. :slight_smile:

Heh, those look interesting.

Hehe, OK, hat’s better. I thought the main point of the exercise was the image, which google won’t see. I’ve never checked if there’s a strategy for having the images in the HTML but only downloaded where required.

Yes, it has a lot of other uses, in ebooks etc. I decided to stick to web pages here, but an interesting link, though. :slight_smile:

That’s a great effort, Mark. Thanks for the link! Reading through it now … :slight_smile:

Some great tips & tricks on Node.js, plus a list of services and tools that are good to use with Node.js: http://techtalk.e-conomic.com/developing-with-node-js-and-mongodb-part-i/

Thanks Michael. Seems a lot is involved in launching a Node project. It amazes me how people can learn all that stuff. He didn’t really say anything about why he used Node for that project … As in, why Node was the right choice for the project, or what the project actually needed to do.

I use node.js to update data real time for one page website. I stream (broadcast) audio/video data like you can see on ustream.tv with node.js. And I process most of user interact data on server instead of browser.

Interesting. Thanks ketting!
