In our journey to master Node.js development on Debian/Ubuntu Linux systems, we’re going to guide you through creating your first Node.js project, and writing your first program.
As an additional step, we’ll also introduce you to nodemon, which is a program you can use to automatically re-run your code any time it changes. This tool can improve your speed and overall joy when working with Node.js.
