Hi there, thanks for your response.
I programmed some Desktop Apps with Java and C#. And during some hackathons i used python+flask+nginx to implement a Web-Applications with a RestAPI on the backend.
I was just curious for which type of application i can use node.js (since i didn't use javascript on the backend at all). Usually i used PHP, C# or Pyhton for the backend..
Is MS Windows 10 using node.js for their applications (since its possible to develop Node.js apps in Visual Studio Code)?
- allendoerfer 11y agoI do not think, that node.js is involved in the JavaScript apps for Windows. In your place I would test node.js the next time you do something like you did with Flask. If you now C#, I would not recommend to waste time to implement a node-based Windows GUI app.
- ph0o 11y agoi will try it! :) thanks!
- thomasfoster96 11y agoI think you can develop Windows 10 apps using JavaScript, but as far as I know Node.js isn't involved. I think Microsoft promotes Node.js more so that people use their Azure platform to host Node.js applications.
- kyllo 11y agoYou can use Node in place of PHP or Python to implement a REST API backend. You can also use it to run scripts the same way you would use Python to do that. Windows doesn't use node, they have their own JS runtime and a GUI framework that you can script with JS.
