This doesn't compile the each expression into a function

haml.compile(":each n in [1, 2, 3]\n  = n")

this does:

haml.compile("- ns = [1, 2, 3]\n:each n in ns\n  = n")

My website is down, whoops

It must have been after running npm update
I pulled the latest code from howtonode.org and it does not load creationix

I use this site for nerdland.info:

It's my favorite blog engine!

Hey all,

I cannot get started with this thing, i have successfully install wheat, connect, cluster, and i also added .listen(3000) to the end of app.js (before ;), i get the following error:

How to runtime successfully?

% curl 'http://howtonode.org/feed.xml'
TODO: render feed

Obviously it's a known issue ;) but I thought I'd flag it on behalf of myself and the other 395 subscribers to the feed at www.inoreader.com.

Is it possible to host multiple domains and repositories from one Wheat server?

http://howtonode.org/feed.xml is currently 516,54 KB (528 940 bytes) long and contains 45 entire blog entries.

That is probably the reason why LiveJournal syndicated feed at rss-how-to-node.livejournal.com fails (says «Too big»).

And so I cannot read «How To Node» on my LiveJournal «Friends» page comfortably.

Please force your RSS feed to contain only five or six or ten entries.

@kishorenc: looks like there have been some changes to nextTick() in node v0.10, which make the usage of nextTick() in the article "completely wrong".

It would be great for beginners to have that article updated. Thanks!

Hi. How come there are over 50 articles in the repo, yet only 20 are linked to in the right sidebar on the blog under "Articles" ? Does that mean they fail this:

If your article passes the quality standards it will be published and help support the greater node community.

Is the blog page up to date? Is the blog page even active anymore? Is anyone vetting this stuff?

In a GoogleGroups post of 9/15/10 - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/nodejs/O7_hUolYdBQ - you (Tim Caswell) allude to an article by "Isaac" e.g. {"See Isaac's article on howtonode.org about control flow in npm."}, yet there is no link to that article on that blog page. I had to go hunt it down in the repo. Since it's not "published", does that mean it fails the quality standards?

I guess it does, because...

... the article is missing a reference to some critical example code, i.e.:

Note that the top-level cb_ function is called with an array of all the results. So, data is being proxied up, as well as errors. (That's why it's called asyncMap, rather than asyncForEach.)

So, now we can simply do this:

                                             {{{ DO WHAT??? THERE'S   n o t h i n g   t h e r e   in  article !!!!!}}}

Proxying

You catch that? An Action function can pass its own cb over to another Action function if it doesn't need to do anything with success or failure. We could also have done something like this:

Ok, "You catch WHAT???"
I am assuming there was meant to be some example code shown there... (or at least a link to it) and I am also assuming it is supposed to be this: https://github.com/creationix/howtonode.org/blob/master/articles/flow-control-in-npm/async-map.js
which I also had to go hunt down.

OK, so that article is not "published", but this one is? http://howtonode.org/understanding-process-next-tick
It was roundly ripped to shreds by other posters for the examples being just plain wrong, the concept explanations being convoluted and conflated, etc. So is that an example of an article that "passes quality standards"?
At least it gave me some ideas to try in my problem app.

So what to believe? Obviously, only what I try and work out for myself, based on shreds of information gleaned from... this kinda stuff. I need to fire a variable number of async tasks, and be able to wait for completion to deal with the results. So my home-grown solution now uses nextTick and setTimeout and callbacks and now fires up to 5500 fs.readFile tasks and waits for completion with no problem. But I know there has to be a better pattern than what I am using. (fs.readFile is not the problem domain, just what I picked as a truly async task for experimentation purposes. The real problem domain is MongoDb collection.count()-related idiocy.)

I need to understand this stuff, and problems like this are not helping.

So since the control flow article by "Isaac" is not "published", it has no comments by readers, as the nextTick article does, so I cannot gauge its relative efficacy, except by time-consuming experimentation and testing.
What is the current assessment of its "quality"? Is it still recommended reading, even with its apparent deficiencies?

Thanks,
Dave

var name = "outer";
function () {
  var name = "middle";
  var other "findme";
  function () {
    var name = "inner"
     // Here `name` is "inner" and `other` is "findme"
  }
  // Here `name` is "middle" and `other` is "findme"
}
// Here `name` is "middle" and `other` is undefined.

The last comment is incorrect, it should instead state

// Here `name` is "outer" and `other` is undefined

OR line 3:

  var name = "middle";

should be changed to

  name = "middle";

This code example is also not "runnable" in node, it gives a SyntaxError.

Also, if appropriate, you could link to "Act III" of Crockford on JavaScript, where he held an extensive presentation on functions and scope in JavaScript which I think follows nicely to this tutorial.

Thanks for a great article!

after i installed node v0.4.8,npm 1.0.14,wheat,and then download howtonode.org to my local path and set the .listen(3000),but when i use node app.js to start the site,error happens

When i try to access the site "howtonode.org" i got a message that was writed like:

"Internal Server Error"

I thought to write some articles about my developments.
for now i write them in wiki pages and readmes.

for example:
https://github.com/shimondoodkin/nodejs-mongodb-app/wiki/How-to-use-Mongodb-the-right-way

https://github.com/shimondoodkin/nodejs-mongodb-app/wiki/Intro-to-JavaScript

https://github.com/shimondoodkin/nodejs-mongodb-app/wiki/How-to-start-development

i may write about
https://github.com/shimondoodkin/node-inflow
https://github.com/shimondoodkin/node-hot-reload
https://github.com/shimondoodkin/nodejs-mongodb-app - my framework
or anything else
also I may copy the articles I have written to this blog.

And yes, I ran npm install.

hi.

i visited https://howtonode.org ,pagination is not supported?

Dumb question:
I count only 20 articles on the front page, but I see more than 20 in the articles/ directory. How do I navigate to unlisted articles using the web page?

Something must have went wrong during the latest update. Take a look at this post http://howtonode.org/express-mongodb

Things like

<<<<<<< HEAD:articles/express-mongodb.markdown { id: 0, title: '', body: '', comments: [{ person: '', comment: '', createdat: new Date()

}],

are everywhere.

The readme should be updated to say howtonode-org.vercel.app

Hello. After a fresh checkout of this repo, and invoking wheat once it's installed, the blog appears to work properly. However, without fail every time I click on the The Step of the Conductor article, node crashes. Here's stderr:

I'm not sure if it's something inside the article that is breaking wheat or what, but the official http://howtonode.org/step-of-conductor link seems to work fine...

Altough this post is outdated there are still people reading it

Since posts have an author, it seems weird for someone else to rewrite it.

It has been a very helpful post, but that is not the case anymore. Maybe it should be removed.

While trying to run howtonode.org, I get this error:

path.exists is now called `fs.exists`

I'm new to node.js but I did a successful npm install. I'm running node.js v0.10.15 on ubuntu 12.04

Any ideas?

PS. the README.markdown has conflicting methods to run the server.

Perhaps we just need to add a "This article is outdated; see Express Guide and mongoose" or some such message on top of it?

I've installed wheat using npm, and cloned this git repo, but when I start the wheat server (using spark) I get 404 errors for all content not found in the skin/public folder -- I can get static files served, but all other content returns a pretty sparse 404 error. I'd be happy to provide more details, but don't actually know what to look for at this point; a brief glance through a few of the source files didn't lead me to any glaring errors I'd made.
