I've been giving the workshop today, and I've found some of the concepts can be pretty confusing to grasp. Maybe we should think about ways to make these concepts more clearer. The concepts that were hard to grok are:

generators: using them needs quite some explanation. Maybe we should create a short workshopper for these?
error handling: seeing unknown syntax in examples can be daunting. Error handling is pretty far down the line in the workshop, and getting exposed to it beforehand was overwhelming for some students.

What do you think? How can we make this better? :D

Linking to this image soon might also help out in understanding generators. -- https://camo.githubusercontent.com/4bafe27df6fb198d66e134a3f977fcfc4ad75ff5/687474703a2f2f68336d616e74682e636f6d2f692f6b6f616a732e676966

sorry to reply too late. a little busy these days.

It is a little hard to introduce koa to people, they should understand generator, co or async function first, maybe we should make a workshop for this. :)

Thanks for adding me to the org! I'll setup a generator workshop soonish.
