Node Tutorial

This is a basic web dev tutorial using javascript, git, node, npm, html. I am creating this for my little brother, Cody Schutte. Wish him luck on his journey to learn the secrets of the javascripts.

The name epic was taken from NASA's DSCOVR:EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) because we are taking data from their EPIC project.

Where will this take us? Let's find out...

First Steps

$ pwd
> ~/project

2. $ git init epic
3. add a .gitignore file for node_modules directory
4. $ cd epic
5. $ npm init --yes
6. $ npm install htmlparser2 --save
7. $ npm install request --save
8. create index.js
9. git add .
10. git commit -m 'my first commit'

Fun other stuff to come:

-define npm run for babel... it should do the request and we could demonstrate passing options -use trumpet -build a web interface
