hook.io video tutorials

hook.io is a full featured i/o framework for node.js. hook.io allows you to create clouds of node.js processes which seamlessly communicate with each other to form fault-tolerant distributed systems.

hook.io is a radical departure from how web applications are currently being built. hook.io itself is very easy to use, but the concepts behind it can be hard to understand from only reading the documentation and unit tests.

For this reason, I have created eleven short video tutorials for explaining the basic usage and functionality of hook.io

UPDATE: 6 more videos on Spawning hook.io Hooks

DOUBLE UPDATE: Due to popular demand, I have converted and uploaded all videos to youtube. You can subscribe here: http://www.youtube.com/maraksquires
