Are you unfamiliar with NodeJS, and are curious to learn about this fascinating environment? Do you have the NodeJS basics, but would like to tighten your understanding and learn a little more? If so, then this workshop is for you. During the workshop you will learn the basics of Node. You will learn about the unique asynchronous nature of Node, learn how to use callbacks, how to use APIs like the filesystem API, how to create node modules, and how to build web applications using express.Since we are in 2017, you will also learn how to leverage ES2015 to make your code nicer and more concise, and to leverage Promises to make asynchronous programming bearable. Given that I am a _firm_ believer in testing your code, you will also learn about how to write tests in Node using Mocha – unit tests, integration tests, and end to end tests.
