Node offers a lot of options, flexibility and control over how you build applications. It's not just JavaScript on the server, it's a vibrant community of developers that contribute a lot of libraries, frameworks and tools to make your life as a developer easier.
But looking at Node for the first few times – or even after the first few months – often leaves developers wondering how anyone stays productive. With all the different tools and libraries, all the pre-processors and post-processors and bundlers and minifiers that seem to be required, how does anyone get any real work done and not spend all day processing code?
Fortunately, there are tools to make your life as a Node developer easier – and this series of screencasts will walk you through some of the best around, giving you a complete look at what it takes to build a highly productive Node workflow.
