An online course and presentation covering core Node.js concepts like event emitters, streams, buffers, clusters, and C++ addons.
You Don't Know Node is an educational course and presentation series that dives into the core, often overlooked features of Node.js. It teaches developers about event emitters, streams, buffers, clusters, and C++ addons to help them write more efficient and scalable server-side applications. The material focuses on the internal mechanics and patterns that distinguish Node.js from other platforms.
Intermediate to advanced JavaScript developers who want to deepen their understanding of Node.js's architecture and low-level APIs. It's ideal for backend engineers, full-stack developers, and technical leads building high-performance applications.
It provides a concise, focused exploration of Node.js's core features beyond basic tutorials, with practical examples and insights from industry experience. The course helps developers avoid common pitfalls and leverage Node.js's strengths for scalable, non-blocking I/O applications.

Authored by Azat Mardan with industry experience at companies like DocuSign and Capital One, providing credible, real-world context for Node.js best practices.
Covers essential Node.js concepts like event emitters, streams, and buffers with practical code examples, such as non-blocking I/O demos and cluster usage for scaling.
Includes tangible demonstrations, like stream performance comparisons and load testing with clusters, to show how core features improve application speed and efficiency.
Last updated in 2018, it misses recent Node.js advancements like ES modules, async/await standardization, and new APIs, limiting relevance for modern development.
The README extensively promotes Node.University for the full course, making the free resource feel like a teaser rather than a comprehensive offering.
Primarily a slide-based presentation without hands-on exercises or coding challenges, which may reduce engagement for learners preferring active participation.
