Larry Franks and Brian Swan on Open Source and Device Development in the Cloud
It's Brian's turn to be on vacation today, but I get the last laugh; I'm on vacation again next week. :)
Here are my links for your Friday reading. If there's anything else interesting going on in the cloud/OSS space, let us know.
Node 0.8.8 is out: For everyone that lives on the cutting edge.
Motown: Easy JavaScript Apps for Metro (Part 1): Motown is a library that aims to make it easier to create JavaScript applications for Windows 8.
nodist: Node version management for Windows.
CDNJS: A CDN hosting a bunch of JavaScript libraries you may not be able to find on the big name CDNs.
JavaScript MVC: Client vs Server: Ah the decision on whether to have a thin and stupid client, or to fatten it up with some logic. These slides do a good job of visually representing both approaches.
Introducing AzureQuery: The JavaScript-Windows Azure Bridge: Somehow I missed this, as it's from back in July. Note that this seems primarily for client-side JS and not a replacement for the 'azure' module for Node.js.
Create Your First Application: Node.js and Windows Azure: This is part of an e-book series that takes existing tutorials published by Microsoft and packages them up into EPub/MOBI/PDF.
Handling Continuation Tokens with Node.js on Windows Azure Table Storage: The title pretty much says it all.
Have a great weekend!
