There are various kinds of platforms that are used to create Web application programs. One of those platforms is Node.js.
The Node.js platform is a programming platform that has very high quality and performance. There are many benefits that we can take from Node.Js, including that node.js can execute programs very quickly.
That's because Node.js uses the V8 engine technology developed by Google and can run command line code very quickly. Node.js also has Single Threaded characteristics. Where Node.js is able to allocate threads during the ongoing program process. That way, the performance of the program will feel lighter.
Node.js has also been used by various well-known companies in the world such as Netflix, Medium and linkedin. That way, the ability and performance of Node.js has proven to be very good and we can use it to develop web programs that we will create.
If you are interested in using Node.js, then you can install Node.js first. The main component that you must have is the installer from Node.Js. You can download it from the official Node.js page. Here's how to install Nodejs on Windows 10.
