Now that we know that
backend development is a thing
and why we do have server-side code for some websites,
in this course section, I wanna dive into NodeJS.
And I'm wanna get you started with NodeJS,
because as mentioned in the previous course section,
we will be using NodeJS
as a server-side programming language,
because it allows us to leverage
our existing JavaScript knowledge,
and it's a very popular and highly performant
programming language that we can use on the server-side.
Now, in this course section,
we're going to get started with NodeJS,
and therefore, we are briefly going to revisit
what exactly NodeJS is and how it works.
But then we will focus on installing it
and getting started with it,
and we will see how we can execute
JavaScript code with NodeJS.
And of course, in this course section,
we are going to build our first NodeJS driven website,
and we are therefore going to write our first NodeJS code.
