Question

I was wondering can node.js run with Apache server? My understanding with this language was that js files gets compiled with Google V8 engine but how do we do this?

How do we use this for building web apps?

Answer 1

One way to create http servers in node is the very popular framework express: https://github.com/visionmedia/express

Example Code (from there):

var app = express.createServer();

 app.get('/', function(req, res){
   res.send('Hello World');
 });

 app.listen(3000);
