Building node-serialport for Electron on Windows

These instruction are for Windows, on my Linux installation(Fedora 21) everything works by just installing serialport with npm (I don't know why!).

These are the steps I did to build node serialport for electron (formerly atom-shell) for Windows. I am completely certain there is a better way to do it, but since I struggled with it for quite a while, here is a solution anyway.

You need some version of Visual studio installed, I have VS 2012 Express for Desktop.

HTTP Streaming (or Chunked vs Store & Forward)

The standard way of understanding the HTTP protocol is via the request reply pattern. Each HTTP transaction consists of a finitely bounded HTTP request and a finitely bounded HTTP response.

However it's also possible for both parts of an HTTP 1.1 transaction to stream their possibly infinitely bounded data. The advantages is that the sender can send data that is beyond the sender's memory limit, and the receiver can act on

Low-level modules

airplay-mdns-server - Advertise an AirPlay server on the network
raop-mdns-server - Advertise a RAOP server on the network
raop-stub - Create a fake RAOP server on the network
rtsp-stream - Parse RTSP streams
rtsp-server - A low level module for creating RTSP servers
raop-server - A low level module for creating RAOP servers (WIP - for now, see raop-rtsp-server or rtsp-server instead)
airplay-server - A low level module for creating AirPlay servers
airplay-txt - WIP

Orthodox C++

What is Orthodox C++?

Orthodox C++ (sometimes referred as C+) is minimal subset of C++ that improves C, but avoids all unnecessary things from so called Modern C++. It's exactly opposite of what Modern C++ suppose to be.
