This one covers the fundamentals you actually need for Node.js work: event loop mechanics, async patterns from callbacks through async/await, streams, file system operations, and HTTP server basics. It's pitched at developers who understand JavaScript but need to internalize Node's quirks, like why process.nextTick runs before setTimeout or how to avoid blocking the event loop with heavy computation. The examples show CommonJS and ES modules side by side, which is helpful since you'll encounter both in real codebases. Good for building APIs, CLI tools, or microservices where you need to handle async operations correctly without creating callback hell or mysterious performance issues.

Node.js Development Skill

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for building modern Node.js applications covering the event loop, async patterns, streams, file system operations, HTTP servers, process management, and best practices for production-ready Node.js development.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Building RESTful APIs and backend services
  • Creating command-line interface (CLI) tools and utilities
  • Developing microservices and distributed systems
  • Building real-time applications with WebSockets or Server-Sent Events
  • Creating build tools, task runners, and development tools
  • Working with file processing and data transformation
  • Implementing server-side data validation and business logic
  • Building proxy servers and middleware layers
  • Creating automation scripts and system utilities
  • Developing serverless functions and cloud-native applications
  • Implementing background job processors and workers
  • Building GraphQL servers and API gateways

Core Concepts

Event Loop

The event loop is the heart of Node.js, enabling non-blocking I/O operations despite JavaScript being single-threaded.
