Node.js topics
12 short topics in Language Internals and Runtimes. Each one is a single focused exercise with a clear piece of evidence at the end.
12 topics, one exercise each.
Work through them in order, or jump to the one you need.
These are draft topic outlines (draft; instructor review pending). Full lessons follow after review; ask Ajay if you need a topic sooner.

Learn the same ideas beyond Node.js.
These courses share topics with this one, so you can compare how each language or tool handles the same concept.
More in JavaScript runtimes and backend.
You have the curiosity.
Let’s turn it into capability.
