The Node Beginner Book » A comprehensive Node.js tutorial How to redirect your site to a mobile version through JavaScript « Sebastiano Armeli's Tech Blog The user needs to be redirected to the mobile version of the site (home page) if it’s trying to access the site from a mobile device. UPDATE 25/07/2011 : Version 0.9.5 released with support for “tablet_url”, “keep_path” and “keep_query” properties.

Basically people either "got it" right away, or they ended up being very confused. If you have been in the second group so far, here is my attempt to explain node: It is a command line tool. You download a tarball, compile and install the source.It let's you run JavaScript programs by typing 'node my_app.js' in your terminal.The JS is executed by the V8 javascript engine (the thing that makes Google Chrome so fast).Node provides a JavaScript API to access the network and file system "But I can do everything I need in: ruby, python, php, java, ... !". I hear you. "Get to the point!" Alright, I will. "Huh?" That's right, everything runs in parallel, except your code. The day starts by one servant waking up the king and asking him if he needs anything. Once a servant finishes a task, he lines up outside the kings quarter to report. "That's fantastic, but could you quit the silly metaphor and speak geek to me?" Sure. No.
LavaLamp for jQuery lovers! | Ganesh Hover above and feel for yourself, the nifty effect of Lava Lamp. What you just experienced is nothing but the LavaLamp menu packaged as a plugin for the amazing jQuery javascript library. I personally believe that the effect rivals that of flash – Don’t you?
