Would benefit from a professional editor/proofreader -- there are quite a few typos as well as english mistakes.

Still, he is smart for moving fast, and it looks like there is good value here.

Was about to say the same thing:

"node takes a leap from that that says" "and use it to make a easy way" "the rigth way of doing" "what many people belive is the right direction"

All in the section "Why the sudden and exponential popularity?" (which is not even a very long section).

However, that aside, this looks good. The style is pacey and informed, the content looks useful and sufficiently technical without being a physics paper, I might even stump up some cash after reading the free pages.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated! All corrected on the new version. Will get it proofread soon, now that it got more popular :)

No problem, I used to be a technical author ;) so kind of hard to lose the habit. I really like the book. I hope you don't think I'm being too critical, and I hope you make some good money from it.

I don't mind and I appreciate it, any feedback for improving it is very welcome! :-)

Pedro Teixeira's nodetuts[1] have been very helpful, things are explained in a very natural way. If the book is as good, this might get my moneys.

i purchased a copy of it, and it is similar in quality to nodetuts. and i already got a updated version as well as a .mobi copy by email. imho its great work and worth every cent

Thanks! :-D

I spotted a few typos in there. Also some lining up issues and spacing issues. Glad more content is being produced about Node though, can't get enough.

Some are corrected, and it's being proof-read at the moment. Will update every buyer once the corrected version is out :)

Why do they save unit-testing until (nearly) last? It should be in the free sample, and it should be reinforced throughout the book.

That was/is one of my favorite parts of The Rails Tutorial. Love that TDD is explained, enforced, and used at every step.

Would be great to see hear as well.

Bought it great work. Hope to get epub version soon. Also thanks for the great screencasts at nodetuts.

Can I buy this without creating a PayPal account?

No, you can't, tinypay uses only Paypal...

PayPal is only required for sellers, it is possible to pay by creditcard without creating a PayPal account.

Awesome, great work.
