introduction

This document covers the basics of how to write node.js programs with streams.

"We should have some ways of connecting programs like garden hose--screw in
another segment when it becomes when it becomes necessary to massage data in
another way. This is the way of IO also."

Doug McIlroy. October 11, 1964
