In this chapter, we learned about Node and how asynchrony in JavaScript works. We also learned about the different ways asynchronous actions in JavaScript are handled, including the async… await syntax.
After the primer, we dug into writing some code and started a very light server in Koa. This showed us the prerequisites of Koa, how to install the framework, and how to get started on it.
In the next chapter, we will learn about the core concepts of Koa. We will learn about the application, context, request, and response objects in Koa. We will also learn how to create and use middleware. We will go into details about Koa's philosophy and show readers how the different parts of the framework work.
