@grabbou? Still into taking this one on?

[grabbou]

Yeah can do! Any suggested ETA on this particular lesson?

I would suggest async operation in the question as well... e.g. user is prompted for the port he wants to use while setting up his let's say Hapi.js set up. Asynchronously we check first available port on the given IP address and provide the result.

Yay! 🎉

As for ETA, I hope to have this whole kit & kaboodle in beta release (all lessons written, ready for testing) by about April 10. 😅 Whenever you're free to do it is fine-- if you're not free in that time I may take it on myself.

Regarding Hapi & async port reading etc, I fear that might be too much for this exercise. I'm trying to keep the exercises as narrowly focused on the tool in question as possible & err on the side of "too simple." For example in my tables exercise, I initially required sorting based on a switch, then I decided that was just superfluous & needlessly complicated the lesson so I removed it. Basically, I don't want someone to understand the tool (e.g. inquirer.js) but get stuck because of some other concept.

I err on the side of simple because if worst comes to worst the user just flies thru the exercises quickly, and that's OK!

So the points I'd prefer to hit here are basically all specifically related to inquirer.js:

• take input
• validate/reject (make sure age is a number or something)
• print in some sort of way

It sounds like that's probably simpler than you were planning... is that alright? Lemme know what you think!
