When learning to code, it’s important to jump into the deep end every now and then to keep leveling up. Unfortunately it didn’t work out in my favor when I gave a go to Node.js!

The workshop I attended was a purposeful break from my learning plan.

I’d love to include a clear & concise definition of Node.js here (intended for total newbies), but I still haven’t found one! If you know of a good one please leave a comment below. Otherwise, here are some of the resources I found which provide a bit of context:

• Max Ogden’s Understanding Node
• The Coding Train’s What Is Node.js? (YouTube)

If you want to give Node.js a try here are some links:

• Install Node.js
• Nodeschool tutorial “workshoppers”
