- [Instructor] This course has a set
of exercise files that you can download
and follow along with
which will allow you to work alongside of me
with the exact same files that I'll be working on.
In the exercise files folder you'll
find subfolders for each chapter
and a corresponding subfolder
for each of the videos where we'll be working on a code.
In each video subfolder you'll find a start folder
and a finished folder.
You can run the lessons and examples
in your Terminal from either of these folders.
In every lesson the main file is called index.js
so you can simply run it in your console.
It is important to understand that
we are not finished in every finished folder.
We may only be halfway through implementing a pattern
so not every finished folder will contain working files.
We also don't use any NPMs.
Well, we actually use one NPM.
In lesson 4_11 the finished folder
we use an NPM called Morse
and I've actually included the node modules
for that NPM inside of your exercise files.
Throughout the course I'll be using the Atom text editor
which is available at atom.io
if you would like to download and install it.
However, you can follow along in any text editor
or development IDE of your choice.
Well, that's all we should need
for setup so let's go ahead
and begin learning Node.js design patterns.
