More node resources the better at the moment. A simple CRUD application guide would be very helpful. The java Play! Framework site has a really nice basic blog tutorial which is perfect for understanding the entire process.

I plan on starting my first node app in 6 weeks so please hurry up ;)

Here's a list of CRUD+ apps that I keep open in textmate to consult as examples:

I suck at formatting here; apologies in advance.

Alex Young's NodePad (from daily.js) (more than a simple CRUD app but helpful nonetheless)

  https://github.com/alexyoung/nodepad
Individual Node + Express examples by TJ (as mentioned in another post)

  https://github.com/visionmedia/express/tree/master/examples
Another basic Node+Express example (by TJ again)

  https://github.com/visionmedia/finance
Guillermo posted a CRUD with Express + Mongoose a few days ago

  https://github.com/guille/mongoose-meetup-04-05/
There's another VERY simple CRUD app somewhere in the Mongoose Google group as a zipfile(yes, this uses Mongoose as well obviously). I can't seem to find it right now, but I think Siegfried Ehret was the original poster. Email me if you'd like me to send it to you.

Also try nodetuts.com. Pedro's stuff helped me when I started learning a few months ago. Some of his stuff might be out-of-date but it will still help you conceptually (and not all of it is by any means). Some out-of-dateness will just be making simple code changes (like upgrading Express).

Hope this helps!

Hi,

6 weeks should be doable, I started the site last friday :-)

Well I really enjoyed what I see so far. Partially just from the great links you recommended!

If you do have a CRUD style app I always like being able to download the finished version for when I am stuck (which is often), nothing quite like looking at the entire code to see where I am going wrong.
