masteringnode's Introduction

Mastering Node

Mastering node is an open source eBook by node hackers for node hackers. I started this as a side project and realized that I don't have time :) so go nuts, download it, build it, fork it, extend it and share it. If you come up with something you wish to contribute back, send me a pull request.

masteringnode's Issues

Please, finish the book

It's such a nice work! I'd really like to see it done. Please, keep up the good work!

require.async() isn't in node anymore

in the modules-chapter is "Asynchronous Require" which is not in nodejs anymore since http://github.com/ry/node/commit/bb08f0c219bf4ca99b1129f54ef415ce46b01f22

Incorrect links for Github page

All your links for the live project point to http://visionmedia.github.com/masteringnode, when it should be http://tj.github.com/masteringnode

What is ronn and where do I get it?

I tried the npm package, but got:

Unknown option: --pipe
Try --help

in the book.html

Thanks,

Chris.

ePub export?

PDFs are unsexy...I'd love some sweet, sweet iPad love!

ePub has no meaningful table of contents

I just downloaded and read the book. A very nice read so far! Many thanks for that! Can't wait to read to remaining chapters.

However I think that something is wrong with the ePub format. I read it using Aldiko on my Motorola Milestone Phone and it turns out that the table of contents only has one Entry called "start" which links to the first page (which is just a white page, by the way... at first I thought the reader crashed showing only a white page *g)
