Re: [nodejs] How to start with node.js ?

[Diogo Resende]

If you're a bit familiar with js in general, I would advise you to read the documentation pages. It's not that big and you'll get a picture of what you can do with the core.

http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/

Then, there are plenty of modules here:

Hi Mayur,

Good Question.
If you really want to start node.js, look for the tutorials online. Coz
spoon feeding won't help.
Anyway, sorry for such harsh words, but believe me unstructured learning
will actually help you to understand the technology.
Good luck with your node.js hunt.

Below some stuff you could  read besides the nodejs website itself, when you

have an idea you may want to decide whether to use a framework like expressjs 

or a language like coffeescript instead of Javascript before you start seriously. 

Perhaps concentrate on understanding 100% what async processing means 

and the concept of callbacks, then the rest will fall into place...

Bonus http://radar.oreilly.com/2011/07/what-is-node.html from  oreilly 

Second try these background infrastructure

Step-by-step

there is many way to learn new technology, perhaps video tutorial is shortcut ( i assume you are familiar with javascript & some command line work)

Enjoy Node !

Thank you all for giving your suggestions..!!

I'd recommend two ebooks for you.

One is 'Smashing Node.js', which is the best (I think) book for beginners.
This book covers wide area in Node.

The other is 'Node.js in Action' if you want to use Express framework to develop
web applications.
This book has not released yet but you can get MEAP(Early Release Ver.) here.

Enjoy it.

We need to write a nodejsforcats, I have the domain names.

We could start with a direct port of http://jsforcats.com/ using the repl instead of the Chrome debugger.
