It’s 2012 now, and I’m finally back from a longish vacation during which I did some relaxing and ate too much sweets. Here’s a collection of links that Brian and I saved up over the holidays, hopefully they’re not too out of date.
- Node Tuts - A series of video tutorials on Node.js by Pedro Teixeira. Currently it’s up to 30 episodes, covering a variety of topics related to Node.
- Write Logs for Machines, use JSON - Paul Querna discusses why we should switch to logging that is easier for computers to understand rather than users. I generally agree with him, especially for large scale cloud deployments where you need to make sense of diagnostic information from 30 different instances of the application.

Included in the 9 reasons to use it that this article puts forth, it also tells you how to install Package Control and points you to some useful packages.
