Best free resources for learning Node.js

So basic it's almost useless. It introduces you to including modules, package.json, and callbacks, but if you want to actually go further, there's not much help.

When you are done, look at this list of extensive node at Stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2353818/how-do-i-get-star...

Pretty out of date as well.

OP: There's not a ton of resources for jumping into Node easily. The majority of the ones I've found haven't worked for me--however, that could just be me, not being an experienced programmer. I just took the Real Time Web with Node.js course at CodeSchool, and it was pretty good. I learned a lot, familiarized myself with certain modules and functions, and was able to come out of it feeling positive about the experience. Highly suggested.

Maybe a bit out of topic but take a look at this https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-nodejs and this http://nodeschool.io/

Quick overview of the way Node works: http://www.nodebeginner.org

Great tutorial to get up and running with a web framework (Express), database (MongoDB), and simple, functional app: http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo...

I realize the title suggests free resources, but I've also found the $9.99 book Hands on Node.js to be very helpful.

The first thing to understand: Node.js is not a programming language. It is a JavaScript platform.

If you're looking to use Node specifically for web development, I've found http://scotch.io to be quite useful.
