Hi Saver0, Why you dont use nginx or sqlite or nosql?
I see them lighter than Apache and MySql.

It’s just easy to install the XAMPP.. hehe
I figured this would be the easiest approach for many. NoSQL type DBs have its advantage and disadvantages as well though. For Forex type data I think SQL type DB is what we need. DB speed haven’t become an issue for me yet however. It’s mostly the CPU limits that I’m hitting since the data just gets loaded to the memory.
And Apache or NGINX, I am actually using neither for my actual app. I’m using the Node.js as my http server. Server becomes an issue if I am serving a lot of HTTP requests. It’s just me using the app Apache is just there for the phpMyAdmin for MySQL DB management. Just the package that comes with XAMPP and it reduces development time you know. Hope that answers your questions.

I knew it

XAMPP is easy for non tech guys play around with.

Hi mates,

Could you please give me a recommendation of good books on NodeJs ? I am looking for tutorials, examples, for beginner to advance  on NodeJs.

Google gave me this link :

*) https://github.com/Pana/node-books
*) http://www.nodebeginner.org/
*) http://www.alolo.co/blog/2013/10/11/10-books-on-javascript
*) http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/179-9610383-1272558?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=nodejs

I am still learning the great examples from saver0 (fractal_server.js + fractal_arrow.mq4) , this example is very nice. It covers connection from MT4 + NodeJs + Mysql,  that is the awesome example i need, but in order to make my own application, i think i must know more about NodeJs.

Thank you in advance mates …

Hi Jacky,

I honestly haven’t looked at any books for Node.js

To be able to program with Node.js what you need is a good understanding of Javascript. For that I recommend the following site:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp
That’s all you should need really. If you are new to programming, then take the time to understand the basics really well. If not you should be able to skim through quickly and understand. Make sure you go through every section because Node.js programming uses everything.

After you complete the Javascript tutorials. Then just look at a couple of tutorials online on Node.js. Look at a few simple ones first and then a few advanced ones. And then you should be set 
After that google will become your best friend.. haha

Let me know if you got any more questions. Would be happy to help!

You should take a look at MDN:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript

 

And like Saver0 advice, google is your best friend

Thanks a lot mates . Nice to know that NodeJs is not only “client side” scripting language, but also “server side”. OK, i will learn them, it seem this is very worth, can be used for so many purposes. For us who have some PHP background, i think this book is not bad too …  http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920026013.do

Jacky, It is from November 2012, a lot of thing changes, you need recent tutorials.

And that book has 2 stars, dont know why you choose it 

 

I think with some searching you will have a lot of great tutorials for free.

I only learn from reference and google, never buy a book. hehe.

 

Here is a great and free IDE to help you code javascript, html, css…

Have fun, Jacky

For Node.js development, I found http://nodejstools.codeplex.com/ to be really neat.

Here is a tutorial on setting yourself up if you want to do so:
