rust-for-node-developers - An introduction to the Rust programming language for Node developers.

•    Rust

An introduction to the Rust programming language for Node developers. Hi there, I'm a JavaScript developer who wants to learn Rust and as a part of this process I'll write here about my learnings. So what is Rust actually and why should you learn it? Rust is a systems programming language like C or C++, but with influences from functional programming languages and even scripting languages like JavaScript. It feels very modern - which is no surprise, because it is a relatively young language. It went 1.0 in 2015! That doesn't only mean it is fun to write, because it has less clutter to carry around, it is also fun to use, because it has a modern toolchain with a great package manager. Rust's most unique feature is probably the compile-time safety check: it catches errors like segfaults without introducing a garbage collector. Or to phrase it differently: maximum safety with maximum performance.

knex - A SQL query builder that is flexible, portable, and fun to use!

•    Javascript

---

Knex.js is a "batteries included" SQL query builder for Postgres, MSSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite3, and Oracle designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use. It features both traditional node style callbacks as well as a promise interface for cleaner async flow control, a stream interface, full featured query and schema builders, transaction support (with savepoints), connection pooling and standardized responses between different query clients and dialects.

tiny-guide-to-non-fancy-node - A tiny guide to non fancy, high-value Node.js things

•    

---

A tiny guide to non fancy, high-value Node.js things. Because we're folks that want to build fun things, rather than spending time fighting our tools. Node.js is a truly neat piece of software. It has one of the largest programming communities, and somehow both a very low barrier to entry and a high skill cap. Picking Node as the hammer in your programming toolbox is not a bad choice.

Don’t you, sometimes, miss fun user interfaces? Truth is, we do. Sure, you can't use them in enterprise apps for obvious reasons, but if you're working on a fun project... CircleBar is a fun tab bar navigation controller, written in Swift 4 and available through CocoaPods.

wrench-js - Recursive file operations in Node.js

•    Javascript

---

wrench.js is deprecated, and hasn't been updated in quite some time. I heavily recommend using fs-extra to do any extra filesystem operations. Wrench was built for the early days of Node, and it solved a problem that needed solving. I'm proud of what it's done; at the time of writing this, it was still downloaded over 25,000 times yesterday, and over 500,000 times in the last month. The fact that it wound up being embedded in so many projects is humbling and a great source of fun for me, but I just don't have the time to keep up with this at the moment. No alternate maintainers have appeared, and fs-extra is very well maintained anyway - one community solution is likely better.

node-iconv - node.js iconv bindings - text recoding for fun and profit!

•    Javascript

---

If you don't need the full gamut of encodings, consider using iconv-lite. It supports most common encodings and doesn't require a compiler to install. Note that you do not need to have a copy of libiconv installed to use this module.

appjs-deskshell - SDK to build desktop apps using HTML5/CSS/JS for frontend and server script for backend

•    NSIS

---

Deskshell is a SDK that provides a shell (as in egg shell) around web applications so that they can run on the desktop. It gives you a modern HTML5 / CSS / JS frontend for your user interface, but then allows full backend functionality written in popular server scripting languages that anyone can pick up like node or php (more choices coming soon). This makes it possible to read and write directly to disk, access databases, communicate with servers and solve the task at hand. We are a very diverse community that welcomes people who have english as a second language. We are open and welcoming to new people both experienced super hackers and newbies alike. We would love this project to be your first accepted commit to an open source project. There are also many things that are not strictly coding that you can do, maybe you can write an example app, improve our documentation, answer questions on the forums or write a tutorial. Mostly just have fun making apps and when you see something that could be better have a go at improving it and then share it with the community.

At Redbooth we have many fun traditions like Elegant Wednesday, home made lunches or going to the countryside to work on cool stuff for a week. We love to have fun and we love to innovate. We also use scrum. To make the planning of a sprint more fun, we created our own personalised planning poker cards. The main idea is that each card has an idiom represented that goes with the number. Although some of them are based on Spanglish and inside jokes that we have going around the office.

swift14macOSApps - approaching macOS development using swift with 14 mini projects.

•    Swift

---

I tried iOS develop before and had some fun with it, and for the last four weeks, I spent some time play with macOS. macOS related API is miscellaneous, and developing macOS is more evil, you can use Swift/ObjC, even js(say Atom), you can play with NSTableView, NSCollectionView, Metal, SceneKit... You can even run Shell commands in your App. Not even to mention support AppleScript or Automator. It is fun and the process of seeking answer is also fun.

redis_failover - redis_failover is a ZooKeeper-based automatic master/slave failover solution for Ruby

•    Ruby

---

redis_failover provides a full automatic master/slave failover solution for Ruby. Redis does not currently provide an automatic failover capability when configured for master/slave replication. When the master node dies, a new master must be manually brought online and assigned as the slave's new master. This manual switch-over is not desirable in high traffic sites where Redis is a critical part of the overall architecture. The existing standard Redis client for Ruby also only supports configuration for a single Redis server. When using master/slave replication, it is desirable to have all writes go to the master, and all reads go to one of the N configured slaves. This gem (built using ZK) attempts to address these failover scenarios. One or more Node Manager daemons run as background processes and monitor all of your configured master/slave nodes. When the daemon starts up, it automatically discovers the current master/slaves. Background watchers are setup for each of the redis nodes. As soon as a node is detected as being offline, it will be moved to an "unavailable" state. If the node that went offline was the master, then one of the slaves will be promoted as the new master. All existing slaves will be automatically reconfigured to point to the new master for replication. All nodes marked as unavailable will be periodically checked to see if they have been brought back online. If so, the newly available nodes will be configured as slaves and brought back into the list of available nodes. Note that detection of a node going down should be nearly instantaneous, since the mechanism used to keep tabs on a node is via a blocking Redis BLPOP call (no polling). This call fails nearly immediately when the node actually goes offline. To avoid false positives (i.e., intermittent flaky network interruption), the Node Manager will only mark a node as unavailable if it fails to communicate with it 3 times (this is configurable via --max-failures, see configuration options below). Note that you can (and should) deploy multiple Node Manager daemons since they each report periodic health reports/snapshots of the redis servers. A "node strategy" is used to determine if a node is actually unavailable. By default a majority strategy is used, but you can also configure "consensus" or "single" as well.
