Node.js

„Companies like Netflix, PayPal and even NASA have shown that with the help of Node.js, JavaScript can be used to implement scalable server-side solutions and change your way of thinking.“

Although many of the Node.js modules are written in JavaScript, Node.js is not a JavaScript framework but a cross-platform runtime environment for JavaScript applications, based on Google’s V8 engine. Its event-driven architecture, which is capable of asynchronous I/O, makes it the perfect choice for highly scalable real-time web applications – in the front-end as well as on the server. In combination with the JavaScript package manager npm Node.js quickly became one of the most important JavaScript environments and can be seen as one of the drivers for JavaScript’s acceptance in- and outside the classical web development world. Well-known experts share their knowledge in the Node.js track, beginning with the very basics like creating web servers and networking tools as well as high-sophisticated topics like optimizing Node.js applications for heavy workloads.
