Overview

This repository has the notes and code of learning web development, including React.js, MUI, node.js, and Tornado Web Server.

Sub-directory	Purpose
nodejs	The main demonstration code for backend development using Node.js.
reactjs	The main demonstration code for frontend development (React.js and MUI).
tornado	The main demonstration code for Tornado web server.

Most of the code is self-containing that doesn't depend on any other code to run. However, sometimes I also developed both the frontend and the backend for experiments. See the section "Inter-dependent code" below for more details.

Sub-directory: nodejs

See nodejs/README.md for more details.

Sub-directory: reactjs

See reactjs/README.md for more details.

Sub-directory: tornado

See tornado/README.md for more details.

Inter-dependent code

Long-polling demo

I developed the demo code to learn how to implement long polling:

• tornado's srv_events_long_poll and srv_pub_sub_long_poll implement two backend services that support long polling.
• nodejs/events-long-poll.js implements the client that does the "events long poll" (thus should be used together with srv_events_long_poll).
• reactjs's DemoLongPolling.js implements the client that does both "events long poll" and "pub-sub long poll".
