Haim Michael gave a presentation on Node.js Jump Start. The presentation introduced Node.js as a platform for developing web applications using JavaScript. It discussed asynchronous programming in Node.js, the module architecture, and popular Node.js modules. The presentation provided learning resources on the Node.js website and recommended courses for further learning.

3. What is Node.js?
● The node.js platform allows us to develop web
applications excellent in their performance.
● The node.js platform is based on JavaScript v8. We use
the JavaScript language.

4. Asynchronous Programming
● The functions in node.js are asynchronous. As a result of
that everything is executed in the background
LifeMichael.com
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World!n');
});
server.listen(1400,'127.0.0.1');

5. The Module Architecture
● The node.js platform uses the module architecture. It
simplifies the creation of complex applications.
● Each module contains a set of related functions.
● We use the require() function in order to include a
module we want to use.
LifeMichael.com

6. The Module Architecture
● The Node Package Manager, AKA as NPM, allows us to
manage the packages installed on our computer.
● NPM provides us with an online public registry service
that contains all the packages programmers publish
using the NPM.
● The NPM provides us with the npm tool we can use for
downloading, installing the managing those packages

7. Centralized Modules Repository
● The centralized repository of public modules maintained
by the NPM is available at https://www.npmjs.org/.

8. Popular Modules
● The https://nodejsmodules.org website tracks the
popular modules been used together with node.js.
● Some of the more interesting modules I recommend to
check include the following:
socket.io
mongoosejs.com
