It's a good start to learn Node.js. I especially appreciated the section for evaluating npm packages, very important, but often overlooked in other courses.

The basic usage of Node.js was explained. The front end, mock-api, and command line tools were used to run Node.js in a practical way. I especially enjoyed the chapter on command line tools.
