Node.js is on a steady rise, and to this day – my blog post about minimal Node.js frameworks, and the one about web application frameworks, are still my most viewed posts on this blog. It goes to show how big the community is, and how big the demand for Node.js content is.

As someone who’s looking to learn more about this software platform, you should know that there is immense amount of support available to you at any given time, be it no Reddit; Stack Overflow, or the good old IRC. There is money to be made, and I give it another 2-3 years before we see a decent competitor. (because who’d want to learn something new, on top of something that works perfectly fine)

Big part of my job is to look for new things, explore what is possible; but also explore that which is free and built with love for the community. Good examples of that is my post for free books to learn Angular.js, and also a few books for learning CoffeeScript. This is what’s it all about.

But, if you’re fine with learning Node.js on your own, why not pass this link to your friends who’re just starting out? I guarantee you that they’ll be thankful.
