Thanks

• I shamelessly adapted this list format from the truly awesome Awesome Node.js list.
• I owe Benjamin Armintor a case of beer for putting up with my endless pestering on this topic. Many of these links were found by him. Ben is a good egg.
• I also swiped a bunch of links from Kaitlin Newson and Kim Pham's Code4Lib workshop, if you haven't yet checked out their slides, you should.
