Learning Node.js, Express, React.js, ES6, and Mongo all at once. Haven't been this excited about programming since college. This stuff is incredible!

    Do you follow a specific tutorial, esp. for Express, Mongo and Node? If yes, which one?

    @unrealchrisp when it comes to learning technologies that are brand new for me I prefer to read books instead of tutorials. Books always give me the solid foundation I need

    For Node and Express I read:

    Node.js in action
    Express in action
    Node.js design patterns

    Last one really kicked my ass. I couldn't finish it as it was really advanced.

    I thought I knew JavaScript but I soon realized that I don't know shit.

    So I read these for JavaScript:

    Mastering JavaScript
    Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja

    (I still don't know how closures work 😝)

    Finished reading React docs and now I'm following this massive tutorial where you create a character voting app using react + flux, node, mongo, and socket.io. It just brings it all together

    Awesome tutorial, highly recommend it!
