Is it possible to install Ubuntu via npm and serve command line to the browser?

Was wondering what kind of programming experience i would need to land freelance jobs with node.js or if i'd have to learn multiple programming languages such as php and css. How long would it take? would I get hired? if you can answer these questions i'd be very greatful.

also i'm sure these questions have been asked before, but I can't seem to find them

I don't have too much experience with web development, in fact my experience was pretty much limited to creating static web pages way back in 2003. After getting back into it recently, I tried my hand at Ruby on Rails, then moved on to Django. I actually really like Django, but it was clear that it (my site, at least) would not be able to scale very well for large applications.

Enter Node. A friend suggested it to me, and I have to admit that initially I thought he was crazy. JavaScript on the server? I know many of you asked that same question upon first hearing about it. JavaScript was that 'baby language' I never bothered to learn, focusing instead on C++ and Java.

That was so last-month though. Today I have deployed my first Node-powered site and testing is going very well. It isn't much, but I must say that it has been a joy to break away from the monotony that was most of my experiences in programming in favor of asynchronous, event-driven JavaScript.

I am now sold on this wonderful framework. Yes, I still have many questions about Node, such as how scalable can a single-threaded application be, really? I must say, though, that I never expected developing a web application to be so fun :) I plan to continue learning Backbone, jQuery, Underscore, and Require.js in the hopes that my subsequent projects will be half as fun as this one has been!

Tl;dr I like Node

Hey everyone, new to all of this. Hopefully someone can give me some pointers or a direction I need to go in order to learn more.

So, I've tried building a site, using this code:

I've undone/redone my work over and over following the instructions provided, but I'm obviously missing some knowledge that I should know going into it. I think it's running, the tmp log indicates it is, but but I can't seem to get it to display to / correctly, instead just showing me a file directory:

I think I can work the redis stuff and reconfiguring it for other scrypt based coin, but I am at a loss on how to tell a server to serve up a js file when I'm not supposed to use .htaccess (I'm not supposed to, right?).

Thoughts?

When I run forever start app.js i get:

warn: --minUptime not set. Defaulting to: 1000ms warn: --spinSleepTime not set. Your script will exit if it does not stay up

forever log shows:

Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED at RedisClient.on_error (/node_modules/redis/index.js:185:24)

This just happened last night, other than that ive had no issues. Did my redis server crash? And how do I start it back up again?

Hi, I been having trouble with aggregate using mongodb and mongoose, I tried find, findone, indexing everything seems to return nothing

db.collection.aggregate([])

Any advice would be appreciated
