CJ talks Node.js at Scale

CJ gave a fantastic talk about Node.js at scale a few weeks back at Node Summit. Make sure to catch her impression of the CouchDB logo.

private modules are almost here!

Would you mind telling us what you’re planning to use them for?

jQuery and npm, part 3

In the past few weeks, we’ve shown you how you can publish and use jQuery plugins with npm. This week, we show you how you can make a few small changes to your jQuery plugin to make it a little easier for your users to use with npm tools like Browserify.

What’s new in the CLI

In npm@2.7.0, there were a number of little changes that make npm just a little bit easier to work with.

• You can run npm ls with --dev or --prod.
• When you use npm run-script to see what scripts are set up in package.json, it will show two lists: one for lifecycle scripts like install or postpublish, and another for scripts that you run with npm run.
• When you use npm init to set up your package.json, you can add a scope… more on scopes coming soon.

Thanks to friend of npm @watilde for these fixes! and for translating a lot of our posts to Japanese :)
