[nodejs] Async Error Handling and Domains

Chris just make sure that when you deploy, your git client on your server has access to your repo. We're running our project on hook.io and have one repo per hook to make it easy to isolate the code of each domain, so that model works fine for us. If you have a bunch of modules that doesn't need

Very nice. Your node-gyp is really going to help node adoption on Windows. I just read the readme. Some of the modules I use do not yet support gyp (but some appear to be moving in that direction) so I may try my luck at writing some gyp files and contributing if I get them working. Thanks! On

The main issue here is that we need to stop viewing IO in the browser as equivalent module loading. IO in the browser is more along the lines of installation. Doing an asynchronous require in the browser, is more akin to: require('child_process').exec('npm install moduleA', function(err) { var m

You don't actually need to compile node yourself to compile native modules, just use node-gyp: https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp The reason you don't need to compile node manually is that node-gyp downloads the required node.lib file from Joyent's servers, all you need to do is specify the t

Yes, that is what it's for. I think you still might need to pass in a path, but maybe that's been fixed. It's very rare that you should need to do this. Most of the time, you just open the file for the stream. On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 09:07, NodeJazz wrote: > What is the use of the 'fd' property
