I think people have given some direct answers, for instance:
* Understanding the thorough-going async nature of NodeJS is important
* Understanding how the HTTP module works is important
I’d add to that: understanding how JavaScript is a mixed bag of FP and
prototypal-OO is important.
I think you are right that you are probably going to have a lot of newbie
questions when you start playing with Node to understand it. That’s okay with
me (personally :-)) since I have no book or tutorial or document in mind that I
can recommend to you.
