- [Instructor] Node.js Essential Training will provide you
with an in-depth introduction to Node.js,
but there are a couple things that you may want to be familiar
with before getting started.
First of all, Node.js is JavaScript,
so you need to be familiar with JavaScript
in order to work with Node.js successfully.
If you'd like to learn about JavaScript,
check out JavaScript Essential Training
with Morten Rand-Hendriksen.
Finally, since we're dealing with server-side
JavaScript here, some working knowledge
of the command line would be helpful.
If you do not feel comfortable with the command line,
you can get up-to-speed with Unix for Mac OS X Users
with Kevin Skoglund.
If you feel comfortable with JavaScript,
and you know the basics of the command line,
then you're ready for Node.js.
