As a relatively recent adopter of node.js and even JavaScript I find the
tendency to offer streamline etc. to newcomers a bit like offering a boat to
someone who has just joined a swimming club and is learning to swim.
- "I'm finding swimming tricky"
- "Use a boat!"
- "I think I want to understand swimming"
- "Use a kayak! It's quicker. It's like it swims for you!"
- "Nearly everyone else here is swimming. It can't be that hard. I just need help
with wrapping my head around it."
- "Try these water-wings called async while you get used to the water."
- "Oh thanks, that looks useful."
- "Use a kayak!"
- "Look, I'm not afraid of getting wet or anything and I can doggy-paddle but it's
exhausting. I want to learn good swimming technique. Can you point me to some useful
resources?"
- "La la la use a boat!"
- *sigh* (leaves)
So, since I'm also likely to end up coaching this stuff because that's what I
do, and I'm a fan of good resources, I'm genuinely interested in the following:
Can anyone recommend a good resource for an experienced programmer who is new to async,
callback- and event-based, single event loop programming in JavaScript and node.js? And
no I don't want a boat or anything else that masks the "async experience".
Honestly, I'll be ok.
Thanks,
Dan
