This book is intended to be a short guide to introduce you to NodeJS. Get to know NodeJS quickly with this Book / Tutorial for beginners.
Node.js is a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime for easily building fast and scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. What is truly special about NodeJS is that it uses JavaScript, so you can actually design and code server side applications in JavaScript. There are thousands of libraries which work client side and also server side. This opens the door for new developers coding both front end and back end with maximum compatibility.
So, why using Node.js?
• Asynchronous and Event Driven.
• Very Fast.
• Single Threaded but Highly Scalable.
• No Buffering.
What kind of applications benefit the most from Node.js?
• I/O bound Applications.
• Data Streaming Applications.
• Data Intensive Real-time Applications (DIRT).
• JSON APIs based Applications.
• Single Page Applications.
Use Node.js to build server side logic or your own APIs in a non synchronous way. To better take advantage of this guide it's recommended to know the basics of programming and JavaScript before reading this book!
