A very common description of Node is this: Node.js allows JavaScript to run on the server. While true, this is also misleading. Node's creators organized and linked powerful C++ libraries in such a way that their efficiency could be harnessed without developers needing to comprehend their complexities. Node abstracts away the complexity of multiuser, simultaneous multithreaded I/O by wrapping that concurrency model into a single-threaded environment that is easy to understand and already well understood by millions of web developers.

When you are working with Node you are ultimately working with C++, a language whose suitability for enterprise-level software development no one would question.

Node's C++ foundation puts lie to claims that Node is not enterprise...

Sandro Pasquali

Sandro Pasquali formed a technology company named Simple in 1997, that sold the world's first JavaScript-based application development framework and was awarded several patents for deployment and advertising technologies that anticipated the future of Internet-based software. Node represents, for him, the natural next step in the inexorable march towards the day when JavaScript powers nearly every level of software development. Sandro has led the design of enterprise-grade applications for some of the largest companies in the world, including Nintendo, Major League Baseball, Bang and Olufsen, LimeWire, AppNexus, Conde Nast, and others. He has displayed interactive media exhibits during the Venice Biennial, won design awards, built knowledge management tools for research institutes and schools, and started and run several start-ups. Always seeking new ways to blend design excellence and technical innovation, he has made significant contributions across all levels of software architecture, from data management and storage tools to innovative user interfaces and frameworks. He is the author of Deploying Node.js, also by Packt Publishing, which aims to help developers get their work in front of others. Sandro runs a software development company in New York and trains corporate development teams interested in using Node and JavaScript to improve their products. He spends the rest of his time entertaining his beautiful daughter, and his wife.
