Readme would need to be updated

[HtheChemist]

Most function cited in the readme have been changed in the last few commits. Would it be possible to update them? Using the library is quite confusing at the moment.

I'll try to find some time and do the needful. Meanwhile I would appreciate the help in updating the readme.

[HtheChemist]

I am currently trying to implement it using the PSLab implementation as a reference. I will try to update everything once I have managed to make it work.

@HtheChemist @orangecms @2secslater I have updated the README.md as requested by @HtheChemist . Please cross-check the index.js and README and let me know if I have missed anything. Thanks, folks for all the support.

I have a few thoughts:

• let's make the extra options optional; I made it necessary to pass an empty object at least, which is not desirable, sorry :/
• prefer concept over naming; variable names, file and directory names should not be as specific so that they rather reflect the general idea in the examples
• explain the relationship with the component lifecycle and how it applies to hooks which many people use nowadays

The latter two would work without referencing specifics of PSLab allowing for people to still think in terms of their exisiting project structure. What do you think @AakashMallik?

@HtheChemist could you elaborate a bit on what exactly confuses you, and maybe point out how you would like to use the library, maybe refer to a project if it's open? Thanks! :)

@orangecms It would be nice if you could drop a PR for point 1. Else I would try to get this done this weekend.
For 2nd point, you are right, I am planning on releasing a demo app for people to use load-balancer. Need some time for this. Help would obviously be appreciated. I will finish up my last article on this regarding this example too.

3rd point needs some discussion. If you are okay with it, let's have a vid chat regarding this.

This lib may not be that big of a deal but given people are actually using it for serious projects gives me hope.

[HtheChemist]

@orangecms I was able to infer from looking at the code from another project but basically it was simply that the function name were changed. The largest confusion was in the .onInitialize() become .job().

Once I understood this it was much clearer. Thanks for updating the document.

[Pipe-Runner]

@HtheChemist Glad to know that you found the changes cleaner. That was indeed the intention. Thanks for being patient with the lib. :-)

[Pipe-Runner]

@orangecms I am almost finished with writing an article for this library and will spin up a sample app by the weekend. I'll ping it over to u as soon as it is done.

[orangecms]

Oh cool, I'll be glad to share it, thank you! :)

Are you also in the PSLab Gitter chat btw? We have weekly meetings now, would be great to see you there sometimes if it's possible for you. ;)

[Pipe-Runner]

@orangecms Not on gitter, but I'd love to join the weekly meeting. I am finding it really hard to squeeze out spare time juggling between office-dev-ML research-and higher education prep work. But I'll try.

The article is finished!! Let me know what you think.

[Pipe-Runner]

@orangecms Also sorry about the mess at PSLab, Mario and I are not on good terms... I wrote that project from scratch, I am the rightful maintainer to the project and Mario for some odd reason revokes my rights. This is simply an insult that I am not going to deal with. I hope we get to work together on something that does not involve FOSSASIA.

Sorry for the late response - I had already taken a look, now came back to it.
I think it's a good intro and you're explaining how IPC is happening through stdin/stdout. Maybe elaborate a bit more at this point, what a child process is and why serialization is needed? That could give a reader without much POSIX knowledge the understanding of the basic concept. Otherwise it's a great starting point. :)

[Pipe-Runner]

@orangecms Aah, good point. I'll try cover it in the wiki or the article. Thanks for your input. Cheers.
