js Presentation Outline
Title: Introduction to Node.js
Subtitle: A powerful runtime for building scalable, server-
side applications
Presented by: J.B
Date: 1.1.2025
What is Node.js?
 Definition: Node.js is an open-source, cross-
platform JavaScript runtime environment.
 Built on: Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript
engine.
 Purpose: Enables JavaScript to run on the
server-side.
Key Features of Node.js
1. Asynchronous and Event-Driven:
o Non-blocking I/O operations for better performance.
2. Fast:
o Powered by the V8 engine for high speed.
3. Single-Threaded:
o Uses an event loop for handling concurrent requests.
4. Cross-Platform:
o Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
5. Package Management:
o Includes npm (Node Package Manager).
Why Use Node.js?
 Scalability: Handles thousands of concurrent
connections.
 Lightweight: Minimal overhead.
 Versatility: Can be used for web servers, APIs, and
microservices.
 Community: Extensive ecosystem of open-source
libraries.
Architecture of Node.js
 Event Loop:
o Handles asynchronous operations.
 Single-Threaded Model:
o Processes requests efficiently.
 Non-Blocking I/O:
o No waiting for operations to complete.

Real-World Applications
 Web Servers:
o Power dynamic, data-driven web applications.
 APIs:
o Build RESTful and GraphQL APIs.
 Streaming Services:
o Handle real-time data streaming (e.g., video and audio).
 IoT:
o Control IoT devices with lightweight applications.

Popular Frameworks Built on Node.js
1.Express.js: Simplifies web server creation.
2.NestJS: A progressive framework for building scalable
apps.
3.Koa.js: Lightweight and modern web framework.
4.Socket.io: Real-time communication library.
How to Install Node.js
1.Download from nodejs.org.
2.Run the installer.
3.Verify installation:
4.node -v
npm -v
Example: Simple HTTP Server
const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {


res.statusCode = 200;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
res.end('Hello, Node.js!');
});

server.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server running at http://localhost:3000/');
});
Benefits and Challenges
Benefits:
 High Performance.
 Full-stack JavaScript.
 Vibrant Ecosystem.
Challenges:
 Single-thread limitations.
 Callback hell (solved by Promises/Async-Await).
Conclusion
 Summary: Node.js is a powerful runtime for building
efficient, scalable, and fast server-side applications.
 Next Steps: Explore frameworks like Express.js and build
a real-world project.
Q&A: Open for questions.
