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?
Years ago, we were in the same boat, but we took the long route of learning from source code, books, blogs and free online documentation. We have put together the best information in the simplest way to help you learn about these systems. Basically, we are helping you to take a shortcut and save time, frustration and avoid costly mistakes by using the best practices available.
