Brandon, these are really great -- please keep these up. I love RailsCasts -- and I really think this is filling a void in Node-land.

I am sure that these take a lot of work, I appreciate the time you are dedicating to this.

I am sure you have a long list of things you want to cover: but to add to the list:

- express
- socket.io
- hosting / deployment (best way to provision a ec2 server, or should we use heroku or the like)
- templating (mustache, jade, etc ...)

Thanks!

when will the new video?
Mark Eliasen, 12 years ago:
Thank you soo much for the vids so far. I always found it hard to learn Node as most resources talked about node as if you already had a fundamental knowledge of how it worked.

At some later date I would also love to see some videos on express and Socket.io, but please do keep the fundamental videos coming, they are brilliant!

(Ps. put up a donate button so I can give you a beer!)

Please tell me this is not dead. This is clearly the best node tutorial series I've seen out there.
Robert Dober, 12 years ago:
Agree with Prem all casts are very concise, very informative, just very excellent :)

I hope you have not abandoned the project.

Please continue posting more videos.

I agree with the other folks these video cast are outstanding. The most concise node.js content I have seen to date.

I want to agree with everyone and say that you are filling in a lot of blanks for me. I really appreciate all your hard work, and would love to see more! Rock on!
