Why dose the official documentation exist? It's for the beginner to have a
good global view and it's the best explanation. If you want to learn a new
technology, the best way is to read the official documentation and then buy
a book to learn how to start your application. But you bought a book,
opened any page, saw the words 'package.json', then came here asking a suck
question without reading your book or documentation.
Many people contribute to the code, documentation and this communication,
they make node.js easy and free to use. But what make you feel their work
or answer suck? No one need to take care you like baby. Please be grateful.
