Posted on by

Summary Node.js in Action is an example driven tutorial that starts at square one and guides you through all the features, techniques, and concepts you ll need to build production quality Node applications You ll start by learning how to set up your Node development environment, including loading the community created extensions Next, you ll run several simple demonstration programs where you ll learn the basics of a few common types of Node applications Then you ll dive into asynchronous programming, a model Node leverages to lessen application bottlenecks.About this BookJavaScript on the server You bet Node.js is a JavaScript server capable of supporting scalable, high performance web applications Using asynchronous I O, the server can do than one thing at a time, a key requirement for real time apps like chat, games, and live statistics And since it s JavaScript, you use the same language end to end Node.js in Action shows you how to build production quality applications Clear introductions of key concepts and example by example coverage take you from setup to deployment You ll dive into asynchronous programming, data storage, and output templating, and interact with the filesystem to create non HTTP applications like TCP IP servers and command line tools Perfect for a web developer transitioning from Rails, Django, or PHP Requires basic knowledge of JavaScript No prior experience with Node.js needed.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.What s InsideSet up Node and extensions Grok asynchronous programming and the event loop Examples including microblogging, IM, games, and About the AuthorsAs skilled practitioners, expert teachers and trainers, and contributors to the core

enjoyed the lets dive in approach of the first example, unfortunately due to technology changing so fast the quality the further in the book theerrors and theomissions and means to reproduce the later examples mainly thinking about express and connect deteriorate, making it sometimes rather frustrating.The book al...Another NodeJS book that puts too much focus on building web apps and libraries instead of Node itself.Beyond explaining the event loop, this book goes full library explanation mode that you can always read from the official library s docs.While the content and flow is good, this book covers Express 3 It needs to be updated to Express 4 asap as Express 4 is already in wide usage 3 starts for a book that needs a new revision.The book is not update with latest version of node and express, but is a good foundation for starting programming with node.jsPart 1 of the book introduces Node fundamentals in detail covering a chat application in chapter 2,which I felt was tough to follow, being newbie to Node.But Part 2 is the heart of the book covering Node s low level API s in detail, all the middle ware s, and then coverage of Web Frameworks Connect and Express is comprehensive and easy to follow.After covering Part 2, revisiting Part 1, clarified all my doubts, the Chapter 2 Chat application was easy to understand now.It s clear and concise cove Part 1 of the

book is extremely good I really hope there s an updated edition covering the recent significant changes to Connect, Express, Socket IO and all the other modules in this book Without an updated edition, the shelf life of this book will quickly expire and to a certain extent already has.Unfortunately the errata is a problem, even after compensating for the different module versions The scattered errata makes the exercises difficult to work with and are sometimes do The content quality in this book is extremely good I really hope there s an updated edition covering the recent

MVC architectures in general while expanding my literacy with the now near ubiquitious JavaScript language There was even a chapter on acceptance testing and another on github which both merge see what I did there nicely with other efforts I have going on at work and on personal projects Even if you are NOT working This was a great dive into Node.js and dovetailed with some of the grunt gulp preprocessor reading I ve been looking at It also gave me another perspective on ASP.NET MVC and MVC architectures in general while ...Very good introduction to Node.js The book teaches the basic conceptions of Node.js, frameworks that are used for creating Node.js apps, web applications.What I think could be better 1 More details about Node.js child processes, ...I enjoyed reading this book, however, I recommend this book for beginners who would like to know Node.js and have a whole idea of Node community, libraries, frameworks and in use practices All in all, it is worth to read that By the way, I have read Node.js in Action, Second Edition, manning....Best node book available right now Focuses on express
