3. Run learnyounode 1. (Ubuntu users) In case step 3 fails, run sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

learnyounode will run through a series of Node.js workshops. Starting at a basic "HELLO WORLD" and moving on to more advanced exercises about dealing with synchronous & asynchronous I/O, filesystem operations, TCP and HTTP networking, events and streams.

Once you have finished learnyounode, graduate to stream-adventure for a set of exercises that dig in to Node's streams.
