at the top of chapter 1: Getting Node Set Up, page 2, where you say to use this command line to install the node package manager (npm) ?
$ curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
when you do that, as of today, 20-May-2014, you get the following error back from npmjs.org ?
$ curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

sh: line 1: html: No such file or directory
sh: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
'h: line 2: `<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
the correct command should be ?
$ curl -L http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
the "-L" is for location redirects, the directory for the tarball and install has moved, permanently, at npmjs.org. see ?
https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/1641 (look for final answer toward the bottom).

connect.router does not seem to be an existing method. Trying to run the code on page 14 gives the following error:
TypeError: Object function createServer() {
function app(req, res){ app.handle(req, res); }
utils.merge(app, proto);
utils.merge(app, EventEmitter.prototype);
app.route = '/';
app.stack = [];
for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; ++i) {
app.use(arguments[i]);
}
return app;
} has no method 'route'

solution:
var connect = require("connect");
var app = connect()
.use(connect.static(__dirname + '/public'))
.use(connect.bodyParser())
.use(function(req, res) {
var userName = req.body.firstName + " " + req.body.lastName,
html = "<!doctype html>" +
"<html><head><title>Hello " + userName + "</title></head>" +
"<body><h1>Hello, " + userName + "!</h1></body></html>";

connect(connect.static(__dirname + "/public")).listen(8000); |
03-07.js gives an error: "Cannot GET /"
code line: connect(connect.static(__dirname + "/public")).listen(8000);
solution:
var connect = require("connect");
var app = connect().use(connect.static(__dirname + '/public'));
// create socket.io server on port 1337
io = require("socket.io").listen(1337);
app.listen(8000);
// listen for connection from an individual client
io.sockets.on("connection",
function(socket) {
// listen for setName event
socket.on("setName",
function(data) {
var userName = data.firstName + " " + data.lastName; // publish nameSet event with new username
socket.emit("nameSet", {
userName: userName
});
});
});

1st code sample |
Strange wrapping behavior: 'document.getElementById("hdnId").value;' is left-aligned whereas it should be indented from the previous line.

code sample |
The code sample has the line:
ns.modul = function() {
I am not certain, but should this be:
ns.module = function() {
If not, an inline comment explaining the funny spelling would help.

code listing for app.js, line 20 |
code listing says
path.exists(localPath, function (exists) {
There is no such function in the path module. It should be "fs".
fs.exists(localPath, function (exists) {
