node.js

At Red Hat, we all love playing with new technologies, and sometimes we find gaps that haven't yet been filled. I want to take a few minutes to share a personal project I've been working on in my spare time. It is a native C++11 add-on that allows you to run a JVM in Node.js, giving access to the mature Java ecosystem of libraries and frameworks. Motivation I just wanted some mature PDF library in Node.js, like iText , PDFBox...

Node.js v4 is now available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 using Red Hat Software Collections 2.2 Beta . The Get Started with Node.js v4 guide has you covered even if you don’t know how to use Red Hat Software Collections (RHSCL) or how to access the beta. After enabling the RHSCL 2.2 Beta software repository on your system, you will be able to install node, npm, and up to 200 additional Node.js packages with a simple yum...

In today's fast paced world of business, delivering quickly is a top priority. Doing so is difficult, however, if you lack confidence in your codebase or rely on error prone deployment processes. Continuous integration enables development teams to automatically run test cases prior to merging code into a stable branch, while continuous deployment leverages automation to provide more reliable, faster deployments of that code. Red Hat Mobile Application Platform supports an agile approach to developing, integrating, and deploying enterprise mobile...

In part one of this post, we discussed building a hybrid client application which scans a barcode, and sends this code to the server side of our application. Now, we're going to build the server code to take this barcode number, and look it up on an external service. We'll be writing this using Node.js - a technology which uses the Javascript programming language, just like we wrote in our hello.js file in part one , only this time on...

TL&DR To integrate React.js and Isotope you need to tell Isotope of changes to the DOM through Isotope's API ( remove and addItems ). Overview Pairing React.js with Isotope is not particularly difficult when dealing with static content. However, pairing the two with dynamic content does get a bit tricky. The problem with the combination is that Isotope, by default, expects a known set of DOM elements so that it can make computations internally. When the elements change, which will...

Another December and another list of must-read blog articles for the year. These were the most read and averaged 16,000 views per article - so lots of interest!

A number of Red Hatters are attending this week's NodeConf.eu as one of the event sponsors, but we're also here to learn more about Node.js and listen to some great sessions. Plus, I've met probably a dozen Red Hatters for the first time - most of whom are part of the Red Hat Mobile Application Platform team (formerly FeedHenry). Another nice benefit for this event is that it's in Waterford, Ireland, and specifically at Waterford Castle (TRULY - this is...

Here's the list: Python 3.4 – the latest stable, major release of Python 3 and includes a number of additional utilities...

VS. I've been involved with full-stack development for a while now, especially stacks involving single page apps. When choosing to go with a single page webapp the backend concerns change. While any backend will do the job (think ruby, python, java, etc.) more emphasis is placed on the front-end stack as most of the time is spent in Javascript and less in the backend language since that is not where the UI logic resides. This is liberating in some senses...

I found this interesting Node.js article from The New Stack . A handy piece for those of you considering Node and especially now that we now have it in both Software Collections and OpenShift. "Why Node.js is an excellent and underutilized enterprise tool "Node.js, after cutting its teeth for a few years in the open source space, then being used by large-scale startups like LinkedIn and Joyent, it is now heading for the enterprise. From scaling virtualized hyper visors to...

As many of you have probably heard, Red Hat announced a new " Docker server" at Summit . The new server is called "Atomic" and details can be found at the project home page . As you all know, I tend to be interested in using Software Collections to ensure the portability of applications. So, putting my foot^W money where my mouth is, I decided to download Atomic, run it as a VM, create a Docker image with a Software...

If you are anything like me, you live in perpetual fear of breaking your primary machine. The one you use for reading email, twitter, notifying you of meetings, etc. Over the years we have seen many attempts to alleviate this problem, things like etckeeper , using git to manage home ( duck it ), regular backups (sure...), etc. Today, I stumbled across one of the benefits in Software Collections that I hadn't noticed before. My internal monologue went something like...

As you certainly know, DevOps is all the rage these days. While DevOps is many things, some pure "buzz" and some legitimate, we aren't going to talk about all that. Instead, let's talk about one small piece of the problem, simplifying the consistency of deployment platforms. Part of what has made DevOps, and, by extension, Continuous Deployment concepts possible has been the simplification, at least on some vectors, of the modern data center. Starting with virtualization, extending to configuration management...
