In this course you’ll go under the hood of Node.js in two contrasting ways - by understanding how to develop servers from intuitive first-principles (HTTP, TCP/IP, Ports, Loopback, SSH) and by understanding the JavaScript features that make up Node (the event loop, streams, buffers, asynchronicity, prototypes). Taking these two approaches together you will develop a deeper understanding of servers, Node, and JavaScript itself!
