This document provides a quick workflow for creating an API in Node.js by using GitHub and Cloud 9 IDE. It involves creating a GitHub repository, cloning it to Cloud 9, initializing the Node.js project, installing dependencies like Express and Grunt, and scaffolding the project structure. The workflow then tests and implements API resources before concluding with the overall project structure.
