Node.js is an interesting and popular open-source JavaScript runtime which is useful for both front-end and back-end developers familiar with JavaScript.
It’s no surprise that Node.js makes things efficient and faster while giving the ability to develop scalable systems with ease. Personally, I plan to get a head start on Node.js as well after learning Golang.
However, with several free online resources available, what could be potentially a good resource?
That’s tough to know without actually going through the resources yourself. But, fortunately, The Linux Foundation and the OpenJS Foundation (the one behind NodeJS) has announced a new free “Introduction to Node.js” training course on edX learning platform.
