What are your go to Node.js resources?

#node #javascript #discuss

Today, a friend asked in a Slack we’re a part of what Node.js resources did folks recommend? The Node.js docs and some egghead videos come to mind, but aside from that, I drew a blank.

I’m asking here for better reach.

The resources can be written, video, podcast, whatever you got! Also, they don’t need to be free resources, but if they are paid ones, just mention that.

Thanks in advance friends!

It's been a while since I learned backend 😅

I took Andrew Mead's NodeJS course on Udemy and I like it. But it hasn't been updated for a year now. So I don't know if it's still relevant. But I guess the basics are there.

I heard also the Full Stack Open is really good.

Thanks Ayu!

nodeschool.io/ was the resource that pretty much taught me NodeJS several years back
developer.mozilla.org/ might not be directly a Nodejs resource, but definitely my go-to for all things JS

In case useful Microsoft has a free learning path to get started. I'd also love to hear about what kinds of Node-driven development folks are interested in seeing more learning content around.

Would there be interest in more content around Node.js tooling, front-end and full-stack frameworks, integration with various cloud services, or internals (how does it work under the hood)? Curious to know what the main pain points are for practical development.

Thanks for the share Nitya! Those all sounds like great topics to explore. It would probably make a great discussion post itself to see what folks would be interested in learning. 😎

Thanks Nick - I might take your suggestion up and write one soon, once I wrap up the current #30DaysOfPWA series I am working on. Will update comment here when I do.

Understanding the event loop is definitely important.

Philip Roberts talk at JSConf EU "What the heck is the event loop anyway?" is an excellent explanation of the event loop.

I’ve mentioned these two resources before in this frontend dev post of mine.

The Net Ninja's playlist on youtube is a gold mine.

Yes, there are lots of resources and everyone looks to find a good resource worth the time to learn from, personaly I have learned it from their documentation, youtube, beside frontendmasters.com they got great paid resources there.

now adays, you can find great free resource on youtube & sites like freeCodeCamp.com as well

Best of luck

Thanks for the share. I can’t believe I forgot about those two resources. 😅 Do you have specific courses from those platforms that you’d recommend?
