Node.js Tutorial for Beginners: Learn Node in 1 Hour

Node.js is a server-side JavaScript platform for building network applications.

It features an event-driven, nonblocking I/O model, and it's long been popular with the GitHub set.


"It's always been meant to handle a lot of connections and move a lot of data"

says Jason Hoffman, CTO at Joyent, which has overseen development of Node.js.


Hoffman cites GitHub's usefulness as a social and collaboration platform as well as providing a distributed, centralized way to manage source code. Hoffman also notes hosting Node.js on GitHub gives people the power to fork it


There have been many forks but not one that has emerged as a separate project.
