JavaScript using Node.js

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that can be run on your computer as a standalone application. You can develop scripts to create applications that do not use the web browser as an engine to execute code. Instead, the applications are compiled and run from a server on a computer. Then, you can access and execute the applications directly on your web browser by navigating to the server that is running the code or by using your computer's command prompt. Node.js uses a runtime engine called V8, which is open source and written by Google. The purpose of V8 is to compile JavaScript code so that it can be run more efficiently. Traditional JavaScript is interpretive, which means that each line is translated into code that the browser can understand before it is run. However, when the program is compiled beforehand, the line-by-line translation does not need to happen, so the application can run directly with less time spent on translation. Node.js...
