Node.js Manual

Welcome to the Node.js Manual!

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. — The official Node.js website

This manual consists of three different sections:

The Node.js API Reference documents the core Node.js modules
The Node.js Guide contains articles and code samples on coding in Node.js
The Javascript Reference contains doucmentation about the Javascript language

You can instantaneously copy and run the code samples found here live into your Cloud9 IDE account by just clicking a button.
