Paul learning Nodejs and system backend

[chocolatechimpcookie]

Paul will learn nodejs and what Ben is building so they can work together.

I put some links to tutorials on the wiki https://github.com/chocolatechimpcookie/cfc_vacantlots_bid/wiki/NodeJS-and-ExpressJS

These links are wonderful. Thanks David.

Paul, you should also checkout some ES6 (ECMASCRIPT 2015) syntax, Ben is probably using it: http://es6-features.org/#Constants http://ccoenraets.github.io/es6-tutorial/

Note, some of this may not work by default in node, a lot of it does; for example creating classes won't work in node by default. I know he's using 'let'.

Let? is this a Module? I'm putting the next line for ref. https://github.com/chocolatechimpcookie/cfc_vacantlots_bid/wiki/NodeJS-and-ExpressJS

let is not a module, the first link is pretty good documentation. let is an alternative var. It provides block level scoping instead of function scoping. This way you don't have random variables getting out of scope and giving your errors.

For example:

function thingamabob()
{

    var x = 'blah';
    if(x=='blah')
    {
       let y = 6;

       someotherfunction(y);
    }

    console.log(y);
    //^this console log would be an error

}

So this ECMA Script6 is a tutorial. We are not concerned with ECMAScript 5? I'm looking at this confused but I suppose it is stating that 5 is obsolete? http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es5/ ## http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es5/

Question: When I enter the Node prompt on the command line I can I suppose go thur the tutorial, Thanks for this Cina. But is there another javascript prompt?

I have down loaded the flowing Treehouse videos to help my learning of Node.js, like NPM basics, express basics, node.js basics and introducing ES2015.
