Node.js is a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

It seems like the vast majority of blog posts on the web that introduce a new language/framework/concept, all begin with having the user write some code that outputs the words: ‘Hello World!’. And so I find it fitting that this, my first blog post in what is my very small corner of the internet, be titled: ‘A real Hello World!’.
