Node.js is an event-driven runtime JavaScript framework, that works asynchronously. You can use it create simple program or network applications. Suppose your program wants to send multiple calls to the server app, but also goes idle for some time. Learn about the advanced installation of Node.js.
The Play
| CrimKri | Hello, Hey CE Expert!!!! Thanks to help me last time about Microsoft Visual Code. It is a nice application and I am creating my project in it. However, it needs Node.js. What it is? |
| CE~RamExpc | It is an event-driven runtime JavaScript framework, that works asynchronously. You can use it create simple program or network applications. Suppose your program wants to send multiple calls to the server app, but also goes idle for some time.
In such cases, you can use Node.js. |
| CrimKri | Yes, I understand the asynchronous behavior. But why Visual Studio Code needs it? |
| CE~RamExpc | No, Visual Studio Code does not need it for its normal functions. You might want to use some extensions that need Node.js. |
| CrimKri | Yes! I hope so. Even though, Visual Studio Code does not need it, still I am now interested in installing Node.js. |
| CE~RamExpc | Good to know that. |
| CrimKri | So the question is: how can install the Node.js? |
