Hello,

I whould like to know what are some of good ressources to learn Node.js effectively.
This includes books (preferable free ebooks), and some frameworks which works well with node.

Thank you in advance.

http://nodeschool.io and https://github.com/maxogden/art-of-node are probably the best places to start with.

@Adam: i'd suggest to add node-modules.com to Package search. it's awesome.

Do you have this list somewhere as pretty-linkable content?

@greelgorke

node-modules.com seems nice, but Nipster is just so much better than almost anything but npmjs.org. Feel free to use the conversation link:


Cheers,
Adam
