Node, Express and React

Working with Express, Node, and React

I've been enjoying working with Node and Express these past few months. One of the most interesting things working with Node is that it is single threaded - so learning about promises is a must.

Here is a very good resource for that.

It's what I have been reading so that I can get up to speed on promises.

What I find interesting is that I have no problem understanding old school threading and other concepts such as I/O completion ports. But promises and what they provide to JavaScript are a different kind of complicated.

For now I will leave it at that while I go and learn some more.
