Feature: Relocate Node.js installation lesson

[Eduardo06sp]

Because

we are replacing Replit exercises with ones from javascript-exercises, so we need to do set up for Node.js earlier in the JavaScripts Basics course.

This PR

• Moves the Installing Node.js lesson so it is right before the Data Types and Conditionals lesson
  • The Data Types and Conditionals lesson is where we will have new material from javascript-exercises

Issue

yarn lint and yarn test were not working properly for me,
but I am confident that it probably won't make a difference due to the type of change I made

[MaoShizhong]

yarn lint runs fine for me and yarn test no longer exists, and will be corrected when #4856 is completed.

Thanks @Eduardo06sp, this looks great to me!

I wonder if we should go a step further and move the node installation to the first spot in the JS section. I think it might flow better and avoid learners needing to context switch to an installation lesson when they are just getting started with JS.

But, I do like the idea of keeping preparation lessons like this one as close as possible to where they are useful like you have here.

Whats your thoughts?

[Eduardo06sp]

@KevinMulhern I'm personally a huge fan of context switching in this case.

I love that you start to get into JavaScript for the first time, do a lot of reading, then you get an "easy" installation lesson next.

I just imagine a learner engaging in learning JS for the first time with a potentially huge cognitive load doing a ton of reading (which although not liked by many, is necessary). Then they just hit an installations lesson which is a much easier walkthrough that lets their brain rest. Then they continue learning more JavaScript.

This is could force a bit of spaced repetition as well, depending on rate of lesson completion.

I may be overthinking it, but this is why I would favor putting Installing Node.js right before the lesson it's used in as opposed to anywhere before that. Regardless, I absolutely would not mind making a change if you prefer the increased levels of simplicity and organization of doing installation stuff up front instead, before all of the JavaScript lessons.

That sounds like solid reasoning to me! thanks @Eduardo06sp.
