Book Description
Node.js revolutionizes server-side
JavaScript development and empowers developers to build efficient, scalable,
and versatile applications across a range of use cases. This book is written by
a Node.js core collaborator and releaser and is the only book for beginners on
Node.js. It takes you on a progressive learning path that will give you the
skills needed to leverage Node.js.
You’ll learn Node.js fundamentals and
refresh your knowledge of JavaScript before transitioning to the development of
modern web applications using Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB. You’ll get
hands-on with complex topics such as asynchronous programming, npm libraries,
event-driven patterns for HTTP servers, RESTful API, and JSON Web Tokens. The
final chapters will walk you through the deployment process, offering insights
into various strategies, including bare metal setups, virtual machines, and
containerization with Docker. You’ll also be guided through the use of Process
Manager 2 (PM2) for efficient process management.
By the end of this Node.js book,
you'll have the skills to craft, test, and deploy Node.js web applications
confidently and use this powerful stack in your day-to-day projects.

Who this book is for
This book is for developers eager to
learn Node.js swiftly and utilize it for web app development. Front-end
developers looking to delve into back-end development or become full-stack
developers using Node.js will also benefit from this book’s comprehensive
coverage of topics. Before you get started with this book, you’ll need to be
familiar with the basics of coding (JavaScript programming or another
