#2> Basically you're telling it to do something and when it's done it will call your function (callback). This is because Node is single-threaded.
Do you mean multi-threaded?

No, Javascript has no notion of threads. Rather than true concurrency and a synchronization mechanism, it has callbacks (upon callbacks upon callbacks).

#5Great post. Looks like you guys have a cool platform too. Any specifics about how it's better than what's out there?

#6Interesting article. You guys should maybe split this "cookbook" into multiple articles where you will briefly cover socket.io, Mongoose, and unit testing.

Callbacks all the way down. I blame 42% of my recent gray hair on callbacks.

I'd love to chat about the platform. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for pimping it. I just don's to turn this comment area into a discussion of the platform. Hit us up on twitter @OnModulus or send an email to feedback@modulus.io.

The main application runs in a single thread and then I/O activities happen in an event loop running with a small thread pool.
Once one of those activities completes the event loop will give a signal to the main thread of the Node app and the callback will be executed.
Not sure if that helped or just confused everyone.

Ach, go on, a quick elevator pitch won't hurt! I had the same question.
