What is Node?
  • open source environment! (free)
  • uses JavaScript on servers (for the backend programming!)
  • use case 1: connect, read, write, update data in a database!
  • use case 2: create, open delete files on the server!

PROS
  • uses asynchronous programming! => doing one task and while waiting for response doing another task!
  • faster than non asynchronous programming languages

CONS
  • a lot of dependencies?
