Node.js


Node.js is a software system designed for writing scalable Internet applications, notably web servers. Programs are written in JavaScript, using event-driven, asynchronous I/O to minimize overhead and maximize scalability. Node.js consists of Google's V8 JavaScript engine, libUV, and several built-in libraries. For more information, try checking out the [wikipedia page about Node.js][1]
