Interested in Node.js, but don't know where to start and how to find time to learn it properly? Would you prefer to learn in a way that is more interesting than reading books or watching boring screencast videos? Confused about how the MEAN stack pieces of MongoDB, Expressjs, Angularjs and Nodejs fit together? How it's even possible to run JavaScript outside of the browser?
