NodeConf 2013
- stevekinney 13y agoI started getting comfortable with Node as a sort of New Year's Resolution and, I have to say, one of my favorite parts has been the helpfulness and openness of the Node community. A few months ago, I pinged Isaac on Twitter for advice on where to go next once you had a rudimentary understanding of how Node works. He encouraged me to dig into Node core and also to explore the source for NPM and libuv. I suggested that I was pretty sure that stuff was a bit over my head. Isaac replied: "The best way to get strong is to lift heavy things."
- ndesaulniers 13y agoI really like that advice! A lot of node core looks just like regular node code. The calling conventions into C++ and the v8 bindings may take more in depth understanding, but it's not that bad.
