Node tutorial / starter?

Hi! :waving_hand: I am wanting to learn Node! :books: ChatGPT isn’t great at teaching so I wanted to know:

  • How did you learn Node? Did you use a tutorial? If so, which one, where? :thinking:

Thank you! :blush:

i learned node through making a discord bot - i probably used https://discordjs.guide. I would not recommend this particular approach to learning node, but in general i think learning by doing is best; pick something you think is just outside of your current ability, try building it, and when you get stuck, do some research to find out what people generally consider to be the best way of doing things. i don’t think that following one person’s tutorial (which will inevitably be biased towards their way of thinking about code) is the best way of doing things but taking key snippets of information from various tutorials can be useful.

note that while this method works for me for learning new programming languages/frameworks/libraries, it may not work for everyone.

good luck with your learning journey :slight_smile:
