Node.js backend básico con buenas prácticas. from Coursera

Este curso está destinado a principiantes o personas sin conocimientos previos en el funcionamiento de Node.js. Y con el objetivo de darte la capacidad para levantar un servidor e interactuar con la información de entrada y salida del mismo, con lo que posteriormente podrías usar la información que necesites en una página real.

Node.js es uno de los frameworks de Javascript más utilizados en la actualidad, para ejecutar tu código Javascript en un entorno de ejecución por fuera del navegador y hacerlo sobre el Motor V8 propiedad de Google, que se encarga por nosotros de transformar lo que hicimos a código máquina en lugar de interpretarlo, teniendo mejor rendimiento de esta manera. Y el manejo de información lo podremos usar con un framework llamado “express”, que lo verás en todos los entornos de trabajo reales.

Y todo esto, lo podrás hacer con un mismo lenguaje de programación que podrías utilizar para un frontend, sin embargo, también Node.js lo puedes usar con otros lenguajes además de Javascript, como por ejemplo Python.
