On the path to become a MEAN Developer - 1

By -
I always wondered,
But MEAN-ness rescued me! Yay!

Oh well, not "being MEAN to somebody" but the MEAN Stack. ;)

I am going to blog about the entire learning curve. I have a windows development machine. You get it right! I am in for a lot of challenges coming up the way to installation on my windows machine.

Lets start with a brief on what a MEAN Stack is, what, who and why?

MEAN is a Full Stack for Web Application Development.
M - Mongo DB, a NoSQL database
E - Expressjs, a web application framework that runs on Nodejs
A - AngularJS, Javascript MVC framework that runs in browser Javascript engines
N - NodeJS, an execution environment for event-driven server side and networking application.

Did you get the best part of this stack? you need to know Java script to code to use this Stack! Only Javascript. One language to build it all.

Client is a browser with javascript engine. Thats it!

Though I say Javascript, I will be using Typescript. Typescript is modular, and if you are a java developer, feels like home. And plus its platform independent.

You will require npm, npm is a nodejs package manager which helps you install node packages. You can google more about it.

You will have to install node and mongo server. I have the following versions on my machine:

npm version 3.8.6
node version 6.0.0
mongo server 3.2

Add these to you classpath.

I will be using angularjs 2. (Latest is good no!)

LINKS for installation:
Mongo Server : https://www.mongodb.com/download-center
Node : https://nodejs.org/en/download/

NOTE:
LAMP Stack is Web Application development using Linux, Apache Server, MySQL Database and PHP/Perl/Python.

Writing your own ejabberd Module

By -
Coming soon: What is ejabberd? What is erlang? Installation details. I will start with writing the ejabberd module first. Once you have done all the installations: sudo make sudo make install sudo ejabberdctl start sudo ejabberdctl stop You can check the status using: sudo ejabberdctl status You can locate logs at: (With default installation) /var/log/ejabberd All config related changes will be mainly done at: /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.yml You will need a basic understanding of erlang. You can take a short crash course at: http://www.erlang.org/course/course.html This is a good reference. Go to your ejabberd-15.07/src directory. This is where you will write the hook for your ejabberd server. Create a file, say mod_changeBody.erl. Your module name and file name should be same. Add the following basic contents into your erl file: -module(mod_changeBody). -behavior(gen_mod). -include("ejabberd.hrl"). -include("logger.hrl"). -expo

If you face error which says ECONNREFUSED while doing npm install <<package name>>, you are probably behind a proxy which is not allowing you to connect to the server and download the packages required. Just follow the below steps: npm config set proxy  http://your_proxy_name:port npm config set https-proxy https://your_proxy_name:port And then try npm install How to get npm config? npm get proxy will do the work :)

Conditional Flow - Spring Batch Part 6

By -
Jump to Conditional Flow using Custom Status There can be muliple scenario where you want your jobs to proceed depending on the outcome of your steps. For example, in case of our Corporate gifts shop, in case the automatic packaging of the gifts fails, we want some manual intervention to be done i.e. somebody should manually package the item.  IF-ELSE IF loop for packaging:     if packageStep fails                              then manualPackageStep                         else if packageStep executes successfully                              then sendOutForDelivery Entire code available at git repo:   https://github.com/ricsr/spring-batch-demo/tree/exercise_06 Using SpringBatch you can achieve it as follows: Create you manualPackageStep, which is very similar to your packageStep, except that it does the packaging manually. @Bean public Step manualPackageStep () { return this . stepBuilderFactory .get( "manualPackageStep" ).tasklet( new Tasklet() { @Override pu
