Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a web browser. This course is your guide for learning the fundamentals of Node.js.

In this course, you'll start by understanding the inner workings of Node.js. More specifically, you’ll explore its features, how event loops work, and how multithreading works. You’ll then move on to the fundamentals of Node.js like file systems, global objects, and the Buffer class.

In the latter half of the course, you’ll explore more advanced concepts like modules,  events,  and packages. At the end of this course, you will get hands-on with Node.js and create your own food delivery web application.

By the end of this course, you will have a new, in-demand skill to put on your resume and a cool project to add to your portfolio.

# Concurrency
While we have praised Node.js for running applications on a single thread, there is more to it. When we ask the OS to read a file for us, we use the file system API. Node.js provides us with several APIs that allow us to make #key# asynchronous: processes that can run in the background without causing the main program to wait #key# calls. For Node.js, these underlying APIs are written in C++ and threads are hidden from us. If you have ever worked with threads before, you will realize that things can get messy when dealing with multiple threads. Deadlocks and race conditions are the worst, so having Node.js manage that for us is, undoubtedly, a praiseworthy feature.

# How does it work?
Let's take a look at the components that make all of this possible.
