Thursday – 5 April – node.js day

Week 13

Tuesday – 10 April

  • Introduction to noSQL
  • Introduction to MongoDB  (pdf of slides)
  • Please listen to the FLOSS Weekly podcast on MongoDB. The talk on MongoDB starts about 12 minutes into the podcast.
  • noSQL Project Requirements.
    • This assignment is optional. You can earn between  100 and 250XP. For amazing work you can earn 350 or even 500 XP
    • I will give a demo of a very simple mongoDB/PHP application in class. Projects of this complexity will earn 100XP (assuming 2 person teams). To earn more XP you can use a new technology, add to the complexity of the site, or both.
    • I have a personal interest in using mongoDB with node.js (instead of PHP). There are a number of good mongoDB/node.js tutorials on the web (for ex., Getting Started with MongoDB and Node.js and Blog Rolling with mongoDB, express, and Node.js). A good, basic mongoDB/node.js site would be worth 150XP (again, assuming two person teams). The blog rolling tutorial looks fairly complex and something along those lines would be worth at least 200XP.
    • You can use a different noSQL server. Using CouchDB will add at least 25XP, and a different noSQL server will add at least 50XP.
    • You can combine new technology and add complexity. For example, a complete Lojong Mind Training Site using MongoDB and node.js would be worth at least 250XP.
    • Time assumptions. I am assuming that one person can implement the simple site I demoed in an evening’s worth of work. A 3 person team should be able to implement a complete Lojong site in 3 hrs. This is the level of work I am looking for. I assume more output for larger teams.
    • You will be giving an extended demo of your project  26 April.
