Kore and DeviceAtlas (end) and other things ...

Hi folks,

Some days ago, I did tested Kore with DeviceAtlas API , but I did not say which API exactly ;-) so it might imply it was the C++ API (which is very possible, Kore supports C++ code as well) !
And no ... it was the new C one recently released.

And, I ve just finished my next article, hopefully you ll appreciate this totally new interesting topic, we'll speak about it pretty soon !

Kore again

Hi folks,

Following my previous post about testing Kore, I did some changes in the code to make it workable for NetBSD and DragonflyBSD and sent those changes to Joris Vink.
Those changes are merged now smoothly.

Kore.io with DeviceAtlas

Hi folks,

Today while reading my usual tech posts, I found an interesting small project, kore.io, which is a simple but fast web server written in C compatible with Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD (but that can work under NetBSD by modifying a little bit the source code ;-)) and Darwin, an event driven one, the workers are per cpu (Linux, FreeBSD and Darwin). which allows to make easily a custom module. Indeed, if you have experience with making apache, nginx modules ... etc ... it's even easier than those ones ;-). So for this purpose, I used a DeviceAtlas API ... Basically it writes a json as a response which contains our usual properties from the user-agent given.

kore loads the small deviceatlas module




Bot detected !
I discussed briefly with the main developer, Joris Vink, quite responsive and nice person I'd say ... The only small downside which he admited himself is (at least for the moment) you cannot define new directives per module but you can easily add new ones no worries ;-) To run small web applications, kore should be sufficient, regarding its low memory usage (with the DeviceAtlas module, more or less 40 MB per worker) and speed (especially under Linux and FreeBSD).

NodeJs on FreeBSD - part two

Hi folks,

Finally, the BSDMag's May issue is released , an interesting article about the famous unix PAM, ownCloud and the second part of NodeJS article, this time focusing on making native modules in C/C++. I hope it will give you the taste to make your owns !
