Node.js: Put your network applications together quickly and easily with this handy and efficient java based framework

Node.js Is a handy to have on hand application for developers that are looking for an easy way to build scalable network programs. It relies on JavaScript (more specifically, Google’s V8 JS engine – The one they use to power Chrome) and is completely suitable for building web servers.

It can be set to communicate with the operating system through several event notification interfaces and responds to new connections immediately. It has a minimal impact on your system’s performance even when it’s not in standby mode and with all of the community support for the development of the code, it’s sure to have everything you’re looking for (and maybe even more) in a framework.

Features:

- Lets the operating system know (via epoll, kqueue, dev, poll, or select) that it should be notified when a new connection is made and then goes to sleep, ensuring that it’s not taking up any of your system’s valuable resources.
- Executes the callback as soon as a new connection is made.
- Adapted for the creation of network programs.
- A Rich API to sift through so that you can see for yourself just how much it’s capable of accomplishing.
- Exceptional community support that ensures the code is always n development.
- Interactive lessons and tutorials provided by the community if you’re interested in learning more.
