Courses Description

Node.js is an open-source, JavaScript runtime environment on Chrome’s V8 that lets you effortlessly develop fast and scalable web applications. It utilizes an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight, efficient and excellent for data-intensive real-time applications that run across shared devices. Node.js is an epitome of an exceptionally customizable and scalable tech. The server engine utilizes an event-based, non-blocking I/O model. This makes the adaptation of JavaScript easier to the machine language providing execution of the code super fast.The code operates faster in server-to-client direction. This enhances the performance ability of the web applications to the next level. To be more precise, web application development in Node.js ensures a steady and secure non-blocking I/O model, simplifying the code beautifully.
