Learn how to debug your shit 
http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.6/api/debugger.html  

> a quick website

create server.js
hit node debug server.js
got to http://127.0.0.1:8124/ 
see the debug in action! hit help for details.
you can also run 'print test' ;)
*/
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World\n');
  var test = "ohh yeah, you are awesome";
  debugger;
}).listen(8124, "127.0.0.1");
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8124/');
/*
> a quick cli

create cli.js
hit node debug 
type 'print test' ;)
*/
var sys = require('sys');
var test = "ohh yeah, u r still awesome";
debugger;
sys.puts('hello awesome dude');

Ok, now before you go back to your TV, console game, 
or twitter/facebook account, build a quick APP!

Here are the requirements:

- website that uses expressjs, jade and mongoose
- have home page, registration page and login page
- make it actually work!
- You can cheat and use this example: 
  https://github.com/visionmedia/finance

Now learn your mongodb, you have to get 
good at using the shell as well.

Ok, now go watch TV, take a quick break... 
come back and check out my buddy's awesome book:

- http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449398583/  

Go give him props ok http://twitter.com/#!/sh1mmer

You may be wondering WTF? why didn't I share this first? 
well, because it is too much reading... to learn node it 
doesn't require that much reading, 
but you do need to know the details. 

Awesome website written using Node.js

- Learnboost.com
- Storify.com
- Geekli.st (Coming soon http://bit.ly/goPevc)

This gist was inspired by the following article: 
http://marcorogers.com/blog/01-22-2011/nodejs-community-could-use-some-tlc

Also, I'm working on a generator to make it easier 
for devs to build new apps using node, the 
name is ngen https://github.com/csanz/ngen if 
you have examples/ideas/feedback please send 
them my way at chris@geekli.st (follow me for updates)

and last, check out http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.6/api/
