Thank you so much for the reply and move sorry I made you work a little bit there. So, basically I have never coded anything doing with networks, and I decided to use node.js, I feel a little lost as far as finding a good guide for its use. One last thing I need to get through is understanding how to make client and server side work together. These are my biggest obstacles right now.
Do you know the language javascript first ? if not you should start by learning the client side javascript before moving on to a server side one like node.js. If you try to force your way through you wont understand anything.
Start with client side, then learn server & client communication(in general) and then move on to node.js. You can just refer to online written tutorials or courses and the client-side js setup is easy - javascript with minimal html , no servers needed.
as for server side and node js, it will be much harder to understand if you dont have any basic concepts grasped. the setup is more challenging too. finding a node js host might be tough too, a free one at that . i used one before(not often though) and imo its pretty decent -
You must be registered to see links
they got some tutorials over there too, so if you already understand client side javascript, you can try following those
also, just a suggestion, your learning should aim to be progressive rather than getting to the final destination . what i mean is - break it into smaller goals,
like you wanna make a chatroom for login-ed users. then you need to learn how to make the login system, but before that means a registration system, and before that - handling databases
