resume-http-beam

A Node.js web app to beam my résumé to the grateful masses via HyperText Transfer Protocol. Energize!

This is currently running on a AWS EC2 instance here: jdahlq.com.

Setup

1. Install Node.js v0.8.9. (It will probably work on much older versions, though.)
2. Clone the repo.
3. While inside your repo directory, do an npm install to install the dependencies.
4. Start the server with node server and voila! If you want to use a different port, then: node server --port 1337

REST API (JSON)

Method	URI	Return Object Description	Live Example
GET	resume/contact.json	Contact information object	☭
GET	resume/jobs.json	Array of job objects	☭
GET	resume/colleges.json	Array of college objects	☭
GET	resume/other-education.json	Array of strings	☭
GET	resume/other-skills.json	Array of strings	☭

Notes:

• None of these resources take parameters.
• The return values are a mixture of objects, arrays, and strings.
• I live in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, so the hammer and sickles are obligatory.

Other Features

• A UI that uses: Twitter Bootstrap, Hogan.js (Mustache templates), jQuery
• Tests for the API. Simply supply the --tests flag when you start the server.
• A slightly awkward combination of CommonJS and namespaces (Google Closure style). The namespaces work well with my IDE.
• No easter eggs, thankfully!

Limitations

• The client-side code was thrown together quickly, so it suffers from lack of organization and no production-level optimzations.
• No client-side testing.
• Resumes don’t have much data, so some of the architecture is somewhat contrived.
• Absolutely NO easter eggs. None. I wouldn’t bother looking if I were you.
