Requirements
You should be proficient with Javascript (es5)
You should be comfortable in your terminal (shell) and have admin (sudo) privileges on your workstation.
Experience in NodeJS is not required but is highly recommended.
You'll need to download Node version 8.x.x LTS
You'll need a decent text editor (I recommend Atom or Sublime)
You may want to clone the sample code for the lectures from Github

Description
Welcome to the Node.js Master Class, where you’re going to learn to build applications in raw Node.js with no frameworks, and no external libraries. And yes, that means no NPM! Together we’re going to build 3 pieces of software from scratch in plain ES5 Javascript.

A RESTful API

A web app GUI

A terminal based CLI (Command-line program)

And you’re going to do all of this with nothing but Node.js's standard API. Just a text editor, a terminal, and Node.js. Nobody else’s code, nobody else’s frameworks, nobody else’s libraries. We won’t be using NPM at all, just Node. Your apps won’t even have a package.json file, because we don’t need any dependency management.

Who is the target audience?
Any Javascript developer who wants to learn Node the hard way and isn't afraid of a challenge.
Any Nodejs developer who is sick of working in frameworks like Express, Hapi, Sails, etc
Any NodeJS developer who wants to learn the whole Node API
