Upcoming Presentation: Couchbase Live NYC 2015

I’m trying something new so bare with me here. I speak at quite a few events (conferences, meetups, code camps, etc.) so I figured it would be useful to my followers to know when and where these events are in case I am in your part of the world.

I’ll keep it short and to the point. I’m going to be in New York on October 6th, 2015 to present at Couchbase Live New York. It is free to attend this conference, so if you’re in the area, please swing by.

My presentation will be on Node.js and is titled Getting Started: Couchbase Server Node.js SDK.

The abstract to my talk is as follows:

Override The AngularJS Exception Handler

AngularJS is one of the hottest things around right now. Maybe you’re finding yourself getting pretty deep in its greatness and you’re ready to customize how exceptions are handled by default.

Lucky for us there is a way to override the default functionality and do whatever we want when an error happens.

Highlight Text In A String Using JavaScript And AngularJS

Have you ever wanted to highlight text in a string on a web page using AngularJS? If your answer was no, don’t disregard, because you may one day need to. The good thing is this is not very hard to accomplish.

There are many ways to do this using JavaScript, but we’re only going to examine one of those methods.

Using AngularJS and a few regular expressions (RegEx) with JavaScript, you can find text in a string and then apply your own customizations.

Get Remote HTML Data And Parse It In Express For Node.js

Have you ever wanted to fetch remote HTML data in a similar fashion to cURL or Wget using some backend web service and parse it? If you said no, don’t worry, I said the exact thing until I was challenged to do so. For the challenge, I chose to use Express as my framework and a few libraries to assist in the process of fetching and parsing.

I chose to use the HTTP and HTTPS libraries for fetching the data and the htmlparser2 for parsing the HTML data. These are of course only a few of many alternatives to choose from for such a task.

Make An AngularJS Library For The Imgur REST API

Imgur is a great image service for sharing and viewing images across the internet.

Since there is a lot of buzz around AngularJS lately and there isn’t already an AngularJS extension for the Imgur REST API, I decided to take it upon myself and start creating one.

Using Oauth 2.0 In Your Web Browser With AngularJS

I have a few popular Oauth related posts on my blog. I have one pertaining to Oauth 1.0a, and I have one on the topic of Oauth 2.0 for use in mobile application development. However, I get a lot of requests to show how to accomplish an Oauth 2.0 connection in a web browser using only JavaScript and AngularJS.

We’re going to better explore the process flow behind Oauth 2.0 to establish a secure connection with a provider of our choice. In this particular example we’ll be using Imgur because I personally think it is a great service.

Using WebSQL Instead of Local Storage In Your Web App

When developing web applications a common way to store data is to use local storage. This NoSQL approach is great, but what if you’re coming from an RDBMS? With HTML5, you have access to the WebSQL API which allows us to use SQL queries for handling client side storage.

This guide will show you how to use the WebSQL API, which is based around SQLite, in your web application. This information can even be extended for use with mobile hybrid applications.
