Get Started with Nodejs

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine enabling JavaScript to be used for server-side programming.

Node.js has become a key part of 'JavaScript Everywhere', encouraging web application development to unify around a single programming language, rather than rely on a different language for writing server side scripts.
