A Practical Introduction to RethinkDB

There’s a tutorial writing contest in hack.guides(). Basically, you have to write a tutorial using one (or more) of the following APIs:

• Amazon Alexa
• Fanout
• HelloSign
• Horizon Cloud
• Ionic
• Keen.io
• Pluralsight (you have to write about a software development practice)
• PubNub
• RethinkDB
• Sauce Labs
• Uber

So I chose RethinkDB as the topic of my first article.

You can read it here.

First, I explain the basics of RethinkDB and at then end, there a simple application as an example of how to develop a real-time application using Node.js, RethinkDB’s changefeeds and Socket.IO.

This is the Github repository for the application and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
