If that doesnat completely boggle your mind, by the time the conversation heats up with discussion of ports, sockets, and threads, youall tend to glaze over. Is this really JavaScript? In fact, why in the world would anyone want to run JavaScript outside of a browser, let alone the server? The good news is that youare hearing (and thinking) about the right things. Node really is concerned with network programming and server-side request/response processing. The bad news is that like Rails, Ajax, and Hadoop before it, thereas precious little clear information available. There will be, in time a as there now is for these other acoola frameworks that have matured a but why wait for a book or tutorial when you might be able to use Node today, and dramatically improve the maintainability.Node.js.
