:-D I actually set an alarm this afternoon to submit v0.8.0 as soon as it comes out, if you can possibly believe it ( I still can't believe I've done such a low, degenerate thing and am a little ashamed of myself )! But I'm incredibly happy about this release, specially about the 'new' cluster API[1] that has made my life a whole lot easier! So apologies for being a karma whore, but I was so glad I couldn't resist, i…

I can't believe you managed to get this submitted to HN before I did. That's what I get for posting it to twitter before coming here ;D Since I knew the URL, I could have totally cheated and done it before even uploading the blog post.

Was there a prize for the first person that posted this?

Coincidentally, today is the day that I started looking into learning node. Anyone know some good guides which don't use deprecated code?

It's been a long since I watched "Introduction to Node.js with Ryan Dahl"[1], but although I think it was circa v0.4.0, it's not really outdated. It's a short talk, but it talks a little about Node's philosophy and I highly recommend watching it.

I haven't watched Pedro Teixeira's tutorials[2], but many recommend it.

But I personally think Manuel Kiessling's online book[3] is the best. It really teaches you to think asynchronously. I took a quick look and I don't think any of the modules he's used have had a significant change. Be sure to check it out.

Of course not. Just a few seconds of joy, that our favorite platform has reached another milestone...

I posted the above comment to say I was really happy and all (and I wasn't trying to be an ass) - I wish people would stop upvoting that stupid, non-constructive comment (for some reason, it has 10 upvotes).

Wrt the Cluster module, the autoFork method is mentioned a couple of times in the code examples, but isn't documented. Does it actually exist?

Yeah, that looks like a bug in the docs. It does not actually exist. https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/3532
