Nodejs is not a framework, it's a runtime!

Please did you learn all this case a developer

In reference to the basics of the internet, if you're coming from a Cyber security background, you will have already have learnt them.

But let's be honest here, you can't be learn all these things and be very good in them.

Each area in tech have their own speciality even in Backened development.
Just do your research and know the basic requirements in the area of dev you belong.

But Got/GitHub is a must!
