4.1 Conclusion
Node.js is, without a doubt, one of the more interesting technologies in use today, and it has grown into one of the most popular platforms used for web applications, services, and desktop apps. It's my hope that after watching this course, you now have a solid foundation to start writing your own Node applications.
My name is Jeremy McPeak, and from all of us here at Envato Tuts+, thank you for watching!

4.1 Conclusion
Node is, without a doubt, one of the more interesting technologies in use today. And it has grown into one of the more popular platforms used for web applications, services, and desktop apps. It's my hope that by watching this course, you have a solid foundation to start writing node applications. It's incredibly easy to get started with. And there is a huge supportive community ready to lend a hand when things get a little tough. But before we part ways, there are a few things I want you to keep in mind. First, remember the conventions and patterns you learned for call backs and capturing errors. Third party libraries sometimes have different styles. But the concepts you learned appear throughout the node ecosystem. Modularize your code. It makes your applications so much easier to work with if they are organized into smaller, self contained pieces. And then finally, streams consume resources. So be sure to close them when you're done. Thank you so much for watching this course. Please feel free to contact me on Twitter or the Tuts+ forums if you have any questions. From all of us here at Tuts+, thank you, and I will see you next time.
