Node is a wrapper over Chrome Javascript engine. It is a event-driven language and thus .on('something', ...) to do something. I was looking for the web server language like 'PHP', 'Asp.Net', 'Ruby', etc., which I don't have to learn the syntax.

Why is "npm" not working?

npm is a package manager like apt-get or nu-get. Unfortunately it is not working right after the installation of "node.js" as a user. You must use this command line tool by command prompt as admin (On Windows 8.1 you right click on windows icon and hit "command prompt (Admin)". It will create directories, npm and npm-cache, in C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\.
