Best Node.js Blogs and YouTube Channels

Node.js is an open-source framework that helps developers create dynamic web pages that can run across multiple platforms. It is built on Chrome V8, which means that it uses the same compiler or interpreter as Chrome.

Node.js is used for full-stack, front-end, and back-end development. It simplifies real-time communication between the client and server. Node.js also has an event-driven architecture, which allows input and output asynchronously. These are some of the few reasons programmers and developers have started using Node.js avidly.

You can find educational sources to get started with learning your Node.js or improve your skills.
