Re: nodejs book?

A good place to start is here: nodebeginner.org

Hands on learning: http://nodeschool.io

A short read from O'Reilly "What is Node?":
https://www.amazon.com/What-Node-Brett-McLaughlin-ebook/dp/B005ISQ7JC

A tutorial I've been giving at conferences this spring:
bit.ly/litmislearn-nodejsintro This is done via an IBM i in the cloud (
spaces.litmis.com). Anyone on midrange.com is welcome to try it (no
cost). Send email to team@xxxxxxxxxx asking for a promo code.

I have been doing Javascript since the early 2000's and I found the biggest
hurdles to learning Node.js was wrapping my head around how insanely
asynchronous and event-based Javascript can be on the server side. You
won't see as much of this in intro tutorials and instead when you start
digging into how bigger projects are put together. At first the amount of
async was exhausting, and then I realized how nice it was to have
concurrent processing be so inherent.

Happy learning!

Folks:

Can anyone recommend a good node.js tutorial book?

Preferably something that can be purchased at amazon, so I can read it
offline.

Thanks!
