The Node Cross-Plateform JavaScript Runtime Engine made it possible to create full-stack web apps with JavaScript - frontend (browser) and backend (server/node). Additionally, Node revolutionized web development for javascript engineers around the world.
Node enabled for the first time the ability to run javascript outside of the browser - this powered server-side framework for RESTful web APIs, web app hosting, local scripts, web scraping, and much more!
Moreover, Node is backed by a strong & thriving community of open-source projects and packages via the Node Package Management registry. This empowered individual engineers to leverage the vast sea of available packages that simplify nearly any use case.
In our latest episode, Juan Lizarazo and Jared Potter explore the key-value gains from using Node and how javascript runs outside the browser to enable these new possibilities.

What's the difference between a plain simple index.html static web app, and the "popular" single-page apps built with Vue, React, and Angular?
When should you use one over the other? Jared Potter and Juan Lizarazo explore the difference between a static web app and a SPA web app.
Along the way, we talk about each's pros and cons and when to use one over the other. For many types of projects - a simple index.html, style.css, and index.js files are all you need. When highly dynamic content is at play, a Single Page App built with Vue, React, or Angular becomes more effective.
Learning this distinction will help you become a better web software engineer and help you land your first tech job!
