Overview |
NodeJs is a runtime for executing JavaScript on the server-side. It is the most popular runtime for using JavaScript on a server, and the basis for most frontend projects as well!
Node comes with npm, a package manager that allows you to conveniently install third-party packages, such as jest (a test-runner), or express (a webserver) or even frontend-specific JavaScript libraries like VueJS or Angular. Even VisualStudio Code, the code editor we'll use in this tutorial, is written using NodeJs!
