Install node and tonight's workshoppers

Installation instructions for node and tonight's featured workshoppers are available on the TV in each conference room.

Workshopper?

• Workshoppers are self guided sets of exercises that teach you an aspect of Javascript and node.
• Run the workshopper module to select an exercise. The instructions for that exercise will be printed out.
• Each exercise asks you to write some Javascript and verify your answer like so javascripting verify my-solution.js.
• If your solution passes, you are rewarded with lots of happy green text! If not, don't let the angry red text get you down. This stuff is tricky.

While doing the workshoppers

• Don't hesitate to ask a friendly neighbor or one of the organizers for help if you get stuck.
• Nonverbal? Use the gitter chat room to chat it up and ask questions.
• Feel free to work on your own or if you're feeling eXtreme, find a friend and work in pairs.
• For each exercise you finish, throw your hands in the air like you don't care and let out a hey-o/whoop/opa/holla/etc of success!
