I finally finished working through the exercises in the LearnYouNode suite put out by NodeSchool<\/a>, which organizes events in cities all over the country. They have a whole pile of different self-directed workshops<\/a>. It was decent enough introduction to the subject and gets you to do basic things like basic file I\/O and server operations (answering HTTP requests and so on). It really helped me get used to the asynchronous operations and JavaScript callbacks in general. I’ve also worked through some of a Udemy course on Node.js<\/a> and will have to finish that up before too long. I’m guessing that it’ll be much easier to handle having completed the LearnYouNode workshop.<\/p>\n

It’s actually not easy to find third party web hosting services that support Node (1&1 and a lot of the standard services like GoDaddy don’t, for example) so it’s more likely to be hosted on local machines. Local machines, of course, can be as small as a Raspberry PI (a surprisingly popular application), as average as your desktop machine, as big as a local server, or as huge as server farms that get as big as you’d like.<\/p>\n

I’ve volunteered to serve as a mentor at the next NodeSchool hosted in Baltimore<\/a>, which happens every two or three months on a Saturday from 1:00-5:00 pm. I expect I’ll start off just helping the folks working through the basic JavaScripting exercises to start. I’ve attended a few Saturdays in DC<\/a> and had fun hanging out with people and working through the exercises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
