Node.js what is that

What is Node.js

Well many of us (basic programmers know JavaScript) and node.js is server side java script which is compiled and powered by Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. It's very simple to start and anyone can learn by putting some efforts on it. I am not yet pro only because of not giving it much attention. But have written few apps in very less time like weekend efforts only. I am going to keep posting more blog in this series simply trying to put more details on various things like frame work used with node.js. 

Things I am trying

 I am going to try with small example from scratch which will be useful to get the feeling of it. you can try downloading it from official web sit i.e https://nodejs.org/en/ . 

I just downloaded from this site and installed on my windows system. I have installed cygwin for my use (just love from Linux). I can simply run the app.js like 

$ node app.js

to start my server.
