Hello dear readers and attendees,

This is the post that I will be/ will have been referencing during my presentation to the Seattle Central Community College’s Byte club on Thursday, December 10th at 1500-1630.

I will begin with a bit of an autobio and find out what kind of students we have in attendance. Please feel free to comment if you’d like to keep in touch before or after the presentation. I will discuss some of the bits and pieces of some industry standard platforms which I’ve developed, deployed, maintained, managed, co-operated, administered and replaced. We can discuss some of the patterns that work well in the industry, and some that are a bit harder to tame.

Once we have touched most of the areas of specialization represented at the meeting, I will dive in to an AngularJS demo I am developing in github here:

https://github.com/LLC-Technologies-Collier/Demo-SCCC-Byte-AngularJS/tree/master

To follow along with the presentation, please run these commands or something similar. My development environment is Debian stable. So yes, this means that we’re not doing a demo of the state of the art. But it also means that the infrastructure has been exercised under load and in production.

Install Debian package dependencies

First, install the debian packages of nodejs and npm, the node package manager:

cjac@debian0:~$ sudo apt-get install nodejs nodejs-dev nodejs-legacy npm

Check out the git repository

After this, check out the repository from github and create a branch for your work:

cjac@debian0:~$ mkdir -p /usr/src/git/github/LLC-Technologies-Collier
cjac@debian0:~$ cd /usr/src/git/github/LLC-Technologies-Collier
cjac@debian0:/usr/src/git/github/LLC-Technologies-Collier$ git clone git@github.com:LLC-Technologies-Collier/Demo-SCCC-Byte-AngularJS.git
...
cjac@debian0:/usr/src/git/github/LLC-Technologies-Collier$ cd Demo-SCCC-Byte-AngularJS
cjac@debian0:.../Demo-SCCC-Byte-AngularJS$ git checkout -b $USER

Upgrade to latest npm, install deps

Once we have the git repository checked out, we’ll grab the latest version of npm and the rest of the node modules

cjac@debian0:.../Demo-SCCC-Byte-AngularJS$ export PATH="$PWD/node_modules/.bin:$PATH"
cjac@debian0:.../Demo-SCCC-Byte-AngularJS$ npm install --save-exact npm@"2.1.0"
cjac@debian0:.../Demo-SCCC-Byte-AngularJS$ npm install --save-exact `cat pkgackage-list.txt`

This post and the associated git repository will be updated between now and the presentation on Thursday. Please chime in and feel free to get involved!
