Modern Full-Stack Development

 Summary
In this chapter, we looked at Node and NPM and discussed the very basics of their 
usage. But, because Node and NPM are, conceptually, pretty simple things, these basics 
are, by and large, all you need to write real applications. You now know how to execute 
JavaScript code, how to create an NPM project, and how to add dependencies. You 
understand the difference between the global cache and the local (project) cache, and 
you even know how to write a basic web server!
In the next chapter, we’ll continue looking at these two tools in a bit more detail, 
getting to some slightly more advanced stuff with them, to expand the foundation from 
which we’ll build our two apps later in the book.
