PREREQUISITES
Bring your laptop! You need the following (which should all be installed and ready to go before you come):
• Node.js (https://nodejs.org)
• A programmer's text editor: Atom (http://www.atom.io/) (recommended), Sublime Text (http://www.sublimetext.com), or Caret (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/caret/fljalecfjciodhpcledpamjachpmelml?hl=en) (chrome app)
• NodeSchool workshops (see below)
WORKSHOPS
Mentors will be available to help you with the following workshops. Please use npm to install from the command line before coming (but if you have trouble installing, don't worry; a mentor can help you). You don't need to install all of them -- just the ones you're interested in (if this is your first time with NodeSchool, realistically you will probably only get through one of them).
