Nest is the Node framework. It is built on top of Express. You can build Microservices, REST APIs, GraphQL APIs, real-time apps and more.
The official website is https://nestjs.com. The documentation is available at https://docs.nestjs.com. I strongly suggest you to read the documentation as much as possible when learning or searching something in Nest. To initiate the reading, you can start with Philosophy section in documentation.
The framework is written in TypeScript and the apps that you’re going to be build will also be in TypeScript.
It is expected to have the recent version of Node and npm installed on the computer.
In next article, we’ll install the Nest CLI, a required tool to work smoothly with Nest framework.
