Learning Node.js Lab

In this lab style presentation you are encouraged to code along and build a simple and understandable Node.js utility that will be used to query the status of a web site. You will get the most out of this if you already have Node.js installed ( http://nodejs.org/ ) and are able to use a basic text editor to follow along. You will still benefit from this presentation even if you are unable to participate just by following the example and trying it at home later. You will leave this presentation armed with a utility that you can use to query your websites and the knowledge to change it to suit your needs.
