We also own a Meetup Page: http://www.meetup.com/IslandJS-Nodeschool and Domain: http://islandjs.org.
Finally, our Facebook community page, IslandJS, and Twitter Stream also helps to support these efforts to let more people know about the group and our upcoming workshops and meetings!

The easiest way to get started is to choose a good text editor designed for development purposes. If you already have a text editor you like to use, there is no need to read further. You are now ready for NodeSchool!
Otherwise, popular text editors include: Sublime, Atom, Brackets, VS Code, and Notepad++. Install any of those and we'll help you with the rest the next time we see you at a NodeSchool meetup.
If you run into any issues or have questions before joining us for a meetup, feel free to open an issue: https://github.com/nodeschool/bainbridge/issues.
If you have a technical issue getting Node or a Workshop installed, please be sure to include your Operating System and Node version as well to help with the troubleshooting.
