It is an interesting video.
Quick summary: Node.js is a program/api written in C that lets you write asynchronous servers in javascript. All IO is done through event loops and callbacks.
If you are interested in the efficiency/architecture of server programs then this is worth watching.

kind of sucks that the video player doesn't work on the iPad.
sucks that it's a video and there's no text transcript. whichever brilliant team of computer scientists gets a speech product out will win lots of money
I keep hearing that, but how much would you pay for a transcript of such a video ?
the sad thing is that that product will only work for english :)
on one way, recognizing (and translating the subtitles to english) other languages would be more important because most people already know english...

dude the way i see it is there are already APIs available, so once someone gets sound->text, you can already break down video->sound, and you can translate text_inEnglish to text_inSwahili ..
there's "english sound" -> text.. what i meant is that perhaps "chinese sound" -> text or something would be more useful fost most people around here
Just a warning to any viewers: I think it might be a bit out of date now. I don't think node has promises anymore and I think they also have blocking and non-blocking versions for most operations (meaning callbacks are optional).
