One of the first things you learn about Node.js best practices is that everyone has a different opinion of what the best practices are. This workshop takes an objective look at how we structure, lay out, deploy, and ship our Node.js applications. We cover common pitfalls and how to avoid them, testing and code-coverage frameworks, performance tuning, and profiling node applications. We're going to move fast, break things, and figure how why. 

Learn the basics of Node.js and how you can use it to create applications and streamline your development process. We explore what Node.js is, what it is not, how asynchronous programming works, how it interacts with the operating system and much much more. We also will be diving into package management and module creation. This workshop is all about giving you the tools and mental models you need in order to be successful in Node.js.
