- [Instructor] This course has a set of exercise files
that you could download and follow along with,
which will allow you to work alongside of me
with the exact same content that I'll be working on.
In the exercise files folder, you'll find folders
for each chapter in this course
and a corresponding sub-folder for each video lesson.
When the video begins, I'll start with the files
found in the start folder.
And when the video ends, what we've built
will be found in the finished folder.
Sometimes the chapter folders will have assets
that you need to test your code.
For example, in chapter two, we have a powder-day.mp4 movie
and some sample text.
Feel free to use these files
or you can also use your own files.
We'll be working with text files
and mp4 videos in this class.
Throughout the course I'll be using the Atom text editor
which is available at atom.io.
However, you can follow along in any text editor
or development IDE of your choice.
Additionally, you might want to consider
upgrading Node.js.
By running node-v command in the terminal,
you can see what your current version of Node.js is.
If you're using something like four or six,
I would strongly recommend upgrading to eight or even 10.
Some of the features of this course are brand new
and only available with Node.js 10.
Well, that's all we need for setup.
Let's go ahead and begin this advanced Node.js course.
