# Road to Node
## What is Node.js?
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model (asynchronous) that makes it lightweight and efficient. It is used for writing web servers in JavaScript.
## Why Use Node.js?
1. Node is love. Node is life.
2. Node is fast and efficient (event-driven, asynchronous), which is useful for multi-user web apps that require real-time updates.
3. Node is love. Node is life.
4. Open-source, cross-platform.
5. Node is love. Node is life.
6. Node's package ecosystem, npm, is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world.
7. Node is love. Node is life.
## Here's How I Plan to Run The Workshop Trilogy
### Workshop #1: JavaScript Basics
Time: Tues, March 7 @ 7pm - 8.30pm (1.5hr)
Location: STC 0020
Goals:
- Introduce JavaScript
- Basic operations (for loops, arrays, etc.)
- == vs ===
- Objects
- ES6+ functionality (spread, function =>)
- Let vs var
- Array Operations (forEach, slicing, map, reduce, filter)
- Interaction with DOM (i.e. querySelector(All))
- Error handling with console
- * Will not go into CSS (i.e. transitions, add classes)*
### Workshop #2: Intro to node.js
Time: Tues, March 14 @ 7 - 8.30pm (1.5hr)
Location: MC 4020
Goals:
- Introduce node.js (asynchronous, single-threaded)
- Introduce concept of callbacks and error handling
- Introduce Promises (maybe?)
### Workshop #3: Setting up a Server with Express.js
Time: Tues, March 21 @ 7pm - 8.30pm (1.5hr)
Location: STC 0020
Goals:
- Integrate express to setup a local server
- Introduce routing
- Introduce localhost
- Create a basic HTML template with Handlebars
- Show how node connects express and Handlebars (through view engine)
- Introduce HTTP requests (POST, GET) with Postman
