Spoiler warning

Spoiler text. Note that it's important to have a space after the summary tag. You should be able to write any markdown you want inside the <details> tag... just make sure you close <details> afterward.

console.log("I'm a code block!");

Essential JavaScript Links

I no longer mantain this list. There are lots of other very comprehensive JavaScript link lists out there. Please see those, instead (Google "awesome JavaScript" for a start).

""" Convert values between RGB hex codes and xterm-256 color codes.

Nice long listing of all 256 colors and their codes. Useful for
developing console color themes, or even script output schemes.

"How do I get started with Node?" is a commonly heard question in #Node.js. This gist is an attempt to compile some of the answers to that question. It's a perpetual work-in-progress.

And if this list didn't quite answer your questions, I'm available for tutoring and code review! A donation is also welcome :)

Setting expectations

Before you get started learning about JavaScript and Node.js, there's one very important article you need to read: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years.

Understand that it's going to take time to learn Node.js, just like it would take time to learn any other specialized topic - and that you're not going to learn effectively just by reading things, or following tutorials or courses. _Get out there and build things!

This gist has been moved to its own Github repo, so it's easier to contribute with additions and corrections. Please open a PR there if you see any mistake, I don't track comments on here as there's no notification system for gists AFAIK. Thanks.
