Web App Development: Create your Own Web Apps With Node.js
Node js is purely based on Javascript. It is well known for its strong support for real time and data intensive applications. This is why the platform is loved by many. The good thing about the platform is that it can be supported on the various operating systems that are used by developers. These include Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. There are also many other operating systems which support this. The platform is broadly used by developers for the development of networking applications. The reason is because it uses a non-blocking and event-driven I/O, which is the reason behind its ease of use and being fast.
