Say Hello
My intention with this series is to get you up and going as quickly as possible with Node.js. If for what ever reason you might have a question, comment or suggestion about the series I would encourage you to take the time and write in to [email protected]
Who Is This Series For?
This series is created for new JavaScript programmers in mind. No programming experience is required, you do not need to know JavaScript nor any of the web languages such as HTML/CSS. The purpose of this series is to help you get started using Node.js. While learning to use Node.js we will explore other questions such as:
- Why was Node.js created?
- Why you need to know Node.js
What companies are using Node.js
Working with the event loop
Understanding how npm works
Versioning in Node.js
Why are Node.js releases named after elements in the Periodic Table?
How to install and configure Node.js in Windows, OSX, and Linux
Running a simple application through the Command Line
Below you will find the most common questions that I get about the series.
- Will you cover how to program with JavaScript?
No, this series is a prerequisite for the Programming Fundamentals series at JSecademy.
- Does the series cover advance topics such as streams, web servers, async programming, custom modules, IO read and write, setting up databases, or testing Node.js code?
No, the series is created for new programmers in mind. Topics that will be covered are Node.js basics (History, and Application), the Event Loop, npm, setup and install of Node.js in (Windows, OSX, and Linux), and executing a simple application.
