Community-Developed Dashboard With Node and DB2
In article “Riding ExpressJs and Node.js to the Web,” you learned how to create a simple ExpressJs application complete with database access and a view layer. With this newfound knowledge, I thought it would be good to produce a tool for internal use that utilizes IBM’s ever-growing list of DB2 for i Services.
Node.js Is Genius with WebSockets
“Wow, that was significantly simpler than I thought it would be,” said no web programmer ever.
I am often in the camp of wishing things were simpler with web development, specifically the link between the browser and server, so that I don’t have to think as much about the underlying technology and can focus more on meeting the business need.

Riding ExpressJs and Node.js to the Web
One of the primary uses of Node.js is for creating Web applications. When it comes to popular Web frameworks for Node.js, Expressjs.com is at the top of the list.

The good thing is that IBM was fully aware this was a necessity and has given us some good tools to accomplish the task.
