Developing with NodeJs starting links

I've been playing around with NodeJs for a little bit recently and rather than rehashing a lot of peoples good work i've done a brain dump of my recent bookmarks which have helped me the most.

Don't forget that with NodeJs its development is moving fast (being a pre v1 release) so always make sure you've run updates and checked docs for recent changes.
