# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.
#
# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
# programs.
#
# Once you're done here, go to
# http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
# to learn SOOOO much more.

Virtual DOM and diffing algorithm

There was a [great article][1] about how react implements it's virtual DOM. There are some really interesting ideas in there but they are deeply buried in the implementation of the React framework.

However, it's possible to implement just the virtual DOM and diff algorithm on it's own as a set of independent modules.

This write-up is several years out of date! You probably shouldn't use it.

var rework = require('rework');
var stdin = require('stdin');
var gm = require('gm');
stdin(function(str){
rework(str)
.use(rework.at2x())
.use(rework.url(retina))
.toString();

Example of a node OAuth (Twitter) and OAuth2 (Google Calendar) client that works with the version 3 Express framework. This assumes you have a config.js file holding the keys and secrets
module.exports = {
'HOSTPATH': 'http://your.host.here',
'PORT': 80,
'EXPRESS_SESSION_SECRET': '123456',
'TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY': 'your-consumer-key-here',

nikmartin / A: Secure Sessions Howto
Last active January 7, 2025 13:29
Secure sessions with Node.js, Express.js, and NginX as an SSL Proxy
Secure sessions are easy, but not very well documented.
Here's a recipe for secure sessions in Node.js when NginX is used as an SSL proxy:
The desired configuration for using NginX as an SSL proxy is to offload SSL processing
and to put a hardened web server in front of your Node.js application, like:
[NODE.JS APP] <- HTTP -> [NginX] <- HTTPS -> [PUBLIC INTERNET] <-> [CLIENT]
Edit for express 4.X and >: Express no longer uses Connect as its middleware framework, it implements its own now.
