I'm not sure I've gotten a direct answer to my title question, "What's important?" Perhaps I should have phrased it as "What's the most useful way to approach learning Node.js, given my background and interests?" All of you have given me some stuff to chew on, though.
I've decided to try learning Node.js by messing around with it instead of by reading a book. I immediately ran into a newbie problem, which I'll describe in a new thread titled "Hotnode, where are you?" (I'm probably going to have a *lot* of newbie problems if I continue doing it this way.) Thanks to everyone who responded. I'll pursue the suggestions and reconsider the advice from time to time as I become more familiar with this tool. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
