Node.

js for beginners
In this article we are going to learn using Node.js from the very beginning -
no prior knowledge is needed. The goal of this series is to get you started
with Node.js and make sure you understand how to write an application
using it.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Node.js

The modern web application has really come a long way over the years
with the introduction of many popular frameworks such as bootstrap,
Angular JS, etc. All of these frameworks are based on the popular JavaScript
framework.

But when it came to developing server based applications there was just
kind of a void, and this is where Node.js came into the picture.

Node.js is also based on the JavaScript framework, but it is used for


developing server-based applications. While going through the entire
tutorial, we will look into Node.js in detail and how we can use it to develop
server based applications.

Chapter 2: What is Node.js?

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment used for


development of server-side web applications. Node.js applications are
written in JavaScript and can be run on a wide variety of operating systems.

Node.js is based on an event-driven architecture and a non-blocking


Input/output API that is designed to optimize an application’s throughout
and scalability for real-time web applications.
Over a long period of time, the framework available for web development
was all based on a stateless model. A stateless model is where the data
generated in one session (such as information about user settings and
events that occurred) is not maintained for usage in the next session with
that user.

A lot of work had to be done to maintain the session information between


requests for a user. But with Node.js there is finally a way for web
applications to have real-time, two-way connections, where both the client
and server can initiate communication, allowing them to exchange data
freely.

Chapter 2: Why use Node.js?

We will have a look into the real worth of Node.js in the coming chapters,
but what is it that makes this framework so famous. Over the years, most of
the applications were based on a stateless request- response framework. In
these sort of applications, it is up to the developer to ensure the right code
was put in place to ensure the state of web session was maintained while
the user was working with the system.

But with Node.js web applications, you can now work in real-time and have
a 2-way communication. The state is maintained, and the either the client
or server can start the communication.
