Some common programming constructs (e.g. loops, expressions) are not workable when calling Node's async functions. The alternative constructs Node requires are not described in its docs, not immediately obvious, and require more code. This is probably the biggest obstacle for new users, assuming familiarity with JS.
As for what to read on that topic, others will have to comment. The Streamline preprocessor goes to some lengths to fix those issues, but is not widely used. https://github.com/Sage/streamlinejs On Sunday, August 3, 2014 10:35:29 PM UTC-7, Martin Ransome wrote: > > What should I read to master node.js? > -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
