The NodeJS Course

Welcome to the Node Course. Here are the exercises….

Node Console

Let's make a server

In which we create a simple Node server and ship out a website.

File System

Node Modules

In which we learn about Node modules, how they work, and how to make one.

Generate CSS the modern way with SASS. We also take a glance at livereload and dip our toes into autoprefixer.

Promises

We see how we can combine the best of asynchronous and synchronous code with Promises.

Process

Pull information about the current running process.

REST

In which we access a RESTful API

Publishing an API with Mongo

Mongo is a JSON based document storage engine. Use it to publish an API
