@Anand, I'm glad you liked it. I am not that much into IDEs myself, I use Vim, but to my knowledge the best Javascript IDE is the one that comes with the Jetbrains tools.

Hey Anders,

This was a really good read. I particularly like the examples at the end of how to write JS that is to execute in series or parallel.

Node's biggest barrier to entry for non-functional programmers is the shift to working with callbacks and context.

More clear, practical examples like this will surely demystify it for a lot of people.

Keep up the good work!

@VA, I'm glad you liked it!

@obowah In this case it is meant as separate examples and not as a sequence of instructions. If it was you are correct!

the mongoose example isn't async - should put the find() call in the save() function callback. i think

Thanks for this post, it was very useful for me. I don't think I 'got' node.js before this, because all the tutorials that I had seen before now stopped shortly after introducing npm and didn't go as far as the whole stack.

@Adrian, you're right. Thanks!

2011-05-17T03:19:05.221+02:00

In the example on sequential execution, I think you meant process.nextTick(iterate) instead of process.nextTick(iterate()).

@Jonathan, thanks! I fixed it.

2011-05-16T10:32:31.924+02:00

In the "EXCEPTIONS IN CALLBACKS" section, you have "callback(err, data) { ... }". I think you meant "function", not "callback".

Great article, I learned a few things about Node I didn't already :)

2011-05-16T06:57:43.746+02:00

Should the second 'req' in:

app.get('/', function(req, req) {
res.redirect('/index.html');
});

be 'res'?:

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.redirect('/index.html');
});

Great article though!
