Node.js is a platform for doing network applications using JavaScript on the client and server. Basically, it's like an Apache web server, written in C, and using the Chrome browser's JavaScript engine. The community is well-developed and there are many pre-written 'modules'. wp:Node.js
- Node.js official website
- Node.js API docs
- npm - the official package manager for Node.js
- nvm - Node Version Manager. A bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions. Although the packaged node.js for Ubuntu 12.04 is rather old, nvm allows you to instantly use the newest version; and use multiple versions (if your projects have certain dependencies) without problem.
- nodejs modules
- Felix's Node.js Guide
- Learnable.com has an intro to node.js course which is valuable.
- Node School
- Socket.io a node.js module for WebSockets
- Express - a web application framework for node
- NeDB Node embedded database similar to MongoDB
- AngularJS - a 100% JavaScript client-side templating framework that provides data binding. Not related to node.js, but useful on the client-side.
