Luciano Mammino

Luciano Mammino is a software engineer born in 1987, the same year that the Nintendo released Super Mario Bros in Europe, which by chance is his favorite video-game. He started coding at the age of 12 using his father's old Intel 386, provided only with the DOS operating system and the qBasic interpreter. After a master's degree in computer science he developed his programming skills mostly as a web developer working mainly as freelancer for companies and startups all around Italy. After a start-up parenthesis of 3 years as CTO and co-founder of Sbaam.com in Italy and in Ireland, he decided to relocate in Dublin to work as senior PHP engineer at Smartbox. He loves developing open source libraries and working with frameworks such as Symfony and Express. He is convinced that the JavaScript fame is still at the very beginning and that this technology will have a huge impact in the future of most of the web-and mobile-related technologies. For this reason, he spends most of his free time improving his knowledge of JavaScript and playing with Node.js.

Exercises

  • 4.1 File concatenation: Write the implementation of concatFiles(), a callback-style function that takes two or more paths to text files in the filesystem and a destination file:
    function concatFiles (srcFile1, srcFile2, srcFile3, ... ,
                          dest, cb) {
      // ...
    }
    

    This function must copy the contents of every source file into the destination file, respecting the order of the files, as provided by the arguments list. For instance, given two files, if the first file contains foo and the second file contains bar, the function should write foobar (and not barfoo) in the destination file. Note that the preceding example signature is not valid JavaScript syntax: you need to find a different way to handle an arbitrary number of arguments. For instance, you could use the rest parameters syntax (nodejsdp.link/rest-parameters).

  • 4.2 List files recursively: Write listNestedFiles(), a callback-style function that takes, as the input...
