Learn NodeJS | Asynchronous Programming

To be successful with NodeJS, first, you must learn the concept of asynchronous programming.

NodeJS is a server-side JavaScript framework. Functions with a callback are asynchronous.

A lot of programmers, especially programmers from a synchronous background, have trouble grasping the concept. No fear! This video makes it super easy!

My next video will be on callbacks!

Node Summit:
In the video I talk about what I learned at Node Summit from a panel and conversation. Here are the awesome NodeJs experts:

Tracy Lee: @ladyleet
James Snell: @jasnell
Igor Minar: @igorminar
Dan Shaw: @dshaw
Justin Fagnani: @justinfagnani

This is the best explanation of asynchronous javascript that I've seen. Also, I appreciate you discussing your conversation with James Snell and his preference to be as vanilla as possible with his node projects. There's a lot of tutorials on youtube that try to walk viewers through node projects, but if you don't get the EXACT versions of the node packages in the video, people run into roadblocks...
