Who is this for?
Those who are inquisitive, creative, and are critical thinkers make great Node.js developers. They love solving puzzles, and are team players working with front-end developers and designers to bring information, data and logic to life.Back-end web development with Node.js handles all of the behind-the-scenes magic of websites and applications - everything that the user does not see. Unlike other back-end tools, Node JS is written in JavaScript, which means Node JS developers can move easily into full-stack development. It is free and open-source, making it a great choice for anyone wanting to build a project - or a lucrative career - as a back-end or full-stack developer.
