Introduction

Node's capabilities extend far beyond simply serving web pages. Node's core focus of supporting various computing tasks and networking objectives with straightforward APIs allows developers like us to unleash our creativity and innovate increasingly interconnected solutions and ideas.

In this chapter, we'll be looking at some fundamental examples of such interconnectivity with the knowledge that we can take these archetypes and grow and combine them into larger applications.

Knowledge of how to implement network paradigms can help us exceed the normal boundaries of a web app, providing advanced functionality to our users and implementing more ways for individuals to connect with our services.
