Errata

This is not errata for the book itself, but rather for the code examples. The package.json file has the following on line 21:

"db-mysql":, "*",

Note the comma following the colon. This should be:

"db-mysql": "*",

This prevents 'npm install -d' from running due to a JSON parse error in node v0.10.4

Note from the Author or Editor:
Fixed typo in example file, and uploading.

Not the following command on the page:
tar -zxf node-v0.8.2.tar.gz

That is followed by the sentence: You now have a directory labeled node-v0.6.18.

The version number cited in the sentence is older.

Note from the Author or Editor:
*FIXED in Atlas*

On page 3, 4th paragraph, change reference to node-v0.6.18 to node-v0.8.2.

All occurrences of "windows" should be replaced by "window", the proper name of the global object in a browser environment.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Page 36, the global object is window, not windows. Change.

"usc2" should be replaced by "ucs2".

Note from the Author or Editor:
Page 40, change to ucs2

In the setTimeOut function call, on_openAndReadFile should be the first function argument; there is no openAndReadFile function defined.

Note from the Author or Editor:
In code snippet page 41, correct the last line of code to read

setTimeout(on_OpenAndReadFile, 2000, filename, res);

find.stderr.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('grep stderr: ' + data);
});

looks like it should be:
console.log('find stderr: ' + data);
^^^^

Note from the Author or Editor:
The word grep should be changed to find

Mis-matched quotes:
var vals = querystring.parse('file=main&file=secondary&type=html");
should be:
var vals = querystring.parse('file=main&file=secondary&type=html');
^

Note from the Author or Editor:
*corrected in text*

The statement:
if (somecriteria) { en.emit('data'); }
has 2 typos. To be consistent with the rest of the text, it should be:
if (somecriteria) { em.emit('somevent''); }
^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^

Note from the Author or Editor:
Page 59, snippet that reads

if (somecriteria) {
en.emit('data');
}

should read

if (somecriteria) {
em.emit('event');
}

There appears to be a search missing from the list:
* /home/node_modules/mymodule.js

The missing search should be inserted between the following two items:

* /home/myname/node_modules/mymodule.js
* /node_modules/mymodule.js

Note from the Author or Editor:
In list in middle of page 64, insert the line

/home/node_modules/mymodule.js

between

/home/myname/node_modules/mymodule.js

/node_modules/mymodule.js

The text says: "Example 5-2 is a complete Node application that creates an object with one method, someMethod", yet in the code example, the method is called "doSomething" not "someMethod".

Note from the Author or Editor:
Change the reference to the literal from someMethod to doSomething on page 83.

Two errors in the process.nextTick example:

function asynchFunction = function (data, callback) {
process.nextTick(function() {
callback(val);
});
);

1. `function asynchFunction` should be `var asynchFunction`
2. `callback(val);` should be `callback(data);`

Note from the Author or Editor:
In this code snippet, which I show in page 39 in Safari Online, change the code from

function asynchFunction = function (data, callback) {
process.nextTick(function() {
callback(val);
});
);

To

var asynchFunction = function (data, callback) {
process.nextTick(function() {
callback(data);
});
);

"console.log('all finished');" should be changed to "console.log('all done');" to match the output example.

Note from the Author or Editor:
*FIXED in Atlas*

page 88 change the text to all finished in code snippet

Shouldn't it be "Step's parallel functionality" instead of "Step's group functionality"?

Note from the Author or Editor:

The first line of code is:

res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'test/html');

It should be "text" not "test":

res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');

Note from the Author or Editor:
Change code snippet from

res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'test/html');

to

res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');

You should add the missing closing parentheses at the end of the two app.config() lines.

Note from the Author or Editor:
*FIXED in Atlas*

Add a closing parenthesis to code snippets in sidebar that start with app.config.

The line in the code sample

pattern="="\$ ...

has a couple of extra characters, which leads to a Jade compilation error.

it should be

pattern="$...

that is, get rid of the extra "=

Note from the Author or Editor:

You should remove the colon in front of the port number.

Note from the Author or Editor:
*FIXED in Atlas*

Remove the colon in front of the 27017 in the code snippet.

Paragraph describes change to the directory structure that is not reflected in the accompanying diagram. The paragraph speaks of the addition of a subdirectory called 'models', but the diagram contains no such subdirectory.

Note from the Author or Editor:
*corrected in text*

Shouldn't it be true to allow nulls instead of false?

Note from the Author or Editor:
*FIXED in Atlas*

Page 243, section on allowNulls

Change to

true to allow nulls; true by default

In "Or you can use always use both." remove the extraneous "use".

It reads "A form to select which PDF tool to upload" but I think you meant "A form to select which PDF document to upload", didn't you?

Note from the Author or Editor:
*FIXED in Atlas*

Please change text on page 252 from

A form to select which PDF tool to upload

To

A form to select which PDF document to upload

The required colon after the header name is missing. The correct format should be:

Content-Range: bytes 44040192-44062881/44062882

Note from the Author or Editor:
*FIXED in Atlas*

Page 266 change snippet of code from

Content-Range bytes 44040192-44062881/44062882

To

Content-Range: bytes 44040192-44062881/44062882

path.existsSync has been replaced by fs.existsSync not js.existsSync.

Note from the Author or Editor:
*FIXED in Atlas - removed warning node because Jasmine is fixed*

Page 299, note, change js.existsSync to fs.existsSync

The technology is named TLS not TSL. You should replace all occurences of TSL with TLS.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Page 316, change TSL to TLS in page.

The sql create statement does not include the 'salt' column.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Typo in the code, should be salt not salt]

Database name in USE statement inconsistent with previous USE statement.

passport.deserialiseUser() on p328 uses databasenm
passport.use() on p329 uses nodetest2

Note from the Author or Editor:
Page 329, code line

client.query('USE nodetest2');

should read

client.query('USE databasenm');

The content of the name string should be "'johnsmith'; drop table users" with johnsmith properly quoted as it is a string and not a column. Without quoting, the first statement would fail and in some environment (e.g. PHP with PDO), the second statement would not be executed and the attack would be unsuccessful.

Note from the Author or Editor:
*FIXED in Atlas*

Change line to

'johnsmith"; drop table users'
