pulling query string in node.js

in web development, pulling data from query string is the basic and fundamental task. In node.js, the syntax is like this:

http://{host}:{port}/?name=shinstudio.com
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

var http = require('http'), url = require('url');
http.createServer(function(request, response) {
    response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type":"text/plain"});
    var urlObj = url.parse(request.url, true);
    response.write("Hello " + urlObj.query["name"] + "!\n");
    response.close();
}).listen(8000);

  • primary developer for the next generation of Y!Slow
  • Roundtrip FE and performance related research
  • evangelism (teaching classes, speaking in conference, and so on)

It sounds very interesting to me. Also it is highly visible role in the company as well as industry. Let me know if any of you are interested in the job. :)
