It's been a while since I learned backend 😅

I heard also the Full Stack Open is really good.

  • 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.

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?
