About the subject

Node.js has become required knowledge for web developers. It's never been easier to go from front-end developer to full-stack engineer, since with Node you can stay with JavaScript all the way down. Node is great for backend APIs and it's also a solid choice for building microservices and server-side utilities. Node's rich ecosystem of pre-built packages and libraries provides the tools you need to be super-productive right out of the gate.

Prerequisites
If you know your way around JavaScript, you're ready to start learning Node!

PJ Evans has been an enthusiastic coder since 1981. One of his applications, an online collaborative suite, is used by an estimated 150,000 users daily.

Easy to follow tutorial with engaging commentary.
