Managing dependencies

Ok, so you've built your first module, but now you want to make it use one of the many libraries available via the npm registry.

finding modules

There are a few ways to find a module. You can use http://npmjs.org or http://npmsearch.com to find modules that may fit what you need.

some advice for choosing modules

NeoTech

building your first node module

This is pretty simple, lets dive in!

choose a name

Find a name that isn't taken and clearly describes what your module is doing

$ npm view your-first-node-module
