Additionally, we delved into the usage of nvm to manage multiple Node.js versions. nvm allows you to switch between different versions of Node.js effortlessly. This can be particularly useful when working on projects that require specific Node.js versions or when testing compatibility across different versions.

Furthermore, the chapter covered the usage of the Node.js REPL and Chrome DevTools. The Node.js REPL is an interactive shell that allows developers to experiment with JavaScript code, execute commands, and see immediate output. It provides a convenient environment for quickly testing code and debugging issues....
