Node.js is an exciting software platform for building scalable server-side and networking applications. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript, and can be run within the Node.js runtime on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux with no changes.
In the first lesson of the course titled “Building web apps with Node.js”, you will get your hands dirty with installing Node.js on a variety of platforms (Windows/Linux) and in a variety of ways (building from source / installing binaries).
Moreover, you will see how to leverage Node.js and how to quickly build a simple Web server that can handle and process HTTP requests, all with a few lines of code.
