It is built on chrome’s v8 javascript engine
This means it's asynchronous, and doesn't block itself for one request (but rather immediately moves to the next request) This makes node extraordinarily fast and efficient. This practical node.js tutorial provides you with all you need to build web applications and api using node.js and express framework.
