+
+These break code down into managable, easy to read chunks.
+
+What are modules?
+
+These are used to compose large, complex applications without complicating your brains.
+
+What are modules?
+
+There are over 100,000 of these with Open Source licenses, available for you to require in your application.

+What are modules?
+
+You can use these to compose applications that run on the back-end, and the front-end.

+
+Modulaity in code writing was given the first class treatment with Node.js.
+
+Node.js ships with the default package manager, [NPM](http://npmjs.com).
+
+NPM isa library, and it is filled with modules.
+
+A galore of open source modules await your eager research.
+
+When your application calls for some specific task, it is usually best to see if somebody else has already written a module for it.
+
+Modules allow you to do things with your apps on an abstract level--they take a complex problem, which you yourself could probably never solved, and reduce it to a simple interface.

+
+This is how you write a module.
