nodeschool?

learning together

warning

nodeschool is a possible gateway drug

to social coding

and a maker mindset

resulting in ...

peer production

think of the web as platform

javascript as the universal runtime

node is a runtime for js sans browser

but node is more than that

it's an ecosystem

• github
• npm

github: zone of collaboration

npm: the bazaar

examples?

d3.js

mike bostock

mike's blocks

my blocks
