What is Node.js?

Node.js is an asynchronous event-driven framework. Hmm, sounds like Windows Forms, but no, we are talking more than just the GUI here. Updates on Node.js (security updates, bug fixes, releases etc) can be found on the Node.js blog page. It is similar to Python's Twisted framework. Node.js development is supported by the Node.js Foundation. It was created by Ryan Dahl and developers at San Frnncisco-based Joyent and released for use on Linux in 2009.
