Becoming a Node.js developer 🐢🚀

This document's purpose is to share my personal experience and resources to those who would like to become a Node.js back-end developer 😎.

My experience and opinions will strongly influence this paper 👿 (so I invite you to keep a strong critical mind towards me to build your own path 🐤).

This document is not set in stone and will evolve as much as I deem necessary over time.
