Step 1 - Get to know the contents

This is the link to the Strongloop certification study guide. Offers a basic overview of what will be expected and has links to pages of interest.

Summaries and notes made from the general contents of this particular link can be found in the folder 'Step 1'. Link to documents found here.

These will only cover the basic concepts required to get a base understanding of what node is and what makes it ... well ... NODE!!!

In later steps (and individual folders) we will cover Express, Debugging, Clusters, ...

Step 2 - Learn Node Basics

At this point we have a basic understanding of node and are ready to dive into some hands on work. No place seems better to do this than 'The Node School'. In the Step 2 folder you will find the main tutorial course solutions, both mine and the official ones.

Step 3 - The Process Global Variable

The Strongloop study guide makes a brief comment on what should be studied about the Process Global:

The process object is a global object and can be accessed from anywhere. For the purposes of the exam you should understand signal events, accessing environmental variables and dealing with child processes.

-- Strongloop Certification Team

Brief but concise. We will go through some of the main Events, Signals, objects and methods available to the process variable and checkout child processes. Step 3 folder contains summaries, links, examples, ...

Step 4 - After a general overview, dive in

Up until now we've gone through the node basics, fooled around with it in nodeschool.io and taken a deeper look into the process global variable. Now, lets get down to some business with: 'Smashing Node.js: Javascript Everywhere'.

Reading the book we go through a general introduction to the javascript basics required for a good understanding of the book examples, node basics and standards and plenty of exercises. In the Step 4 folder you can find a few summaries as well as working examples that the book walks you through. Definitely worth buying! (invest in good writing)
