Get Programming with Node.js Pdf Book Description:

Node.js is only one of many platforms on which you can build an application. Because of its design, Node.js is particularly useful for building web applications applications that handle requests over the internet and provide processed data and views in return. For many of you, the concept of building an application purely in JavaScript is both new and your ultimate goal. For others, this book is your introduction to web development. You’ve never built or fully understood the inner workings of a web application, and you’ve come here to learn how everything fits together. Nothing in JS would ever be the same again. In the eight or so years since, Node.js has skyrocketed to practical ubiquity, not only within the JavaScript world, but also far beyond. Node.js represents a powerful, respected, first class, enterprise server side platform for global-scale web applications. It sparked an explosion of interest in embedding JS in practically any computing or electronic device you can imagine from robots to television sets to light bulbs. The Node.js ecosystem is built around hundreds of thousands of published module packages in npm the largest code repository ever for any programming language by more than 6 times. That statistic doesn’t include the countless privately installed packages comprising billions of lines of JavaScript. With the enormous momentum around and attention to Node.js, it can be painfully daunting for someone who wants to learn this ecosystem to figure out where to start.

I think that’s why I appreciate this book so much. From the first page, it lays out a refreshingly down-to-earth, pragmatic, clear path that shows you how to navigate your way into Node.js. You won’t find unnecessary historical or philosophical fluff here; the book jumps right into showing you how to install and configure Node.js so that you can get to the code as quickly as possible. The book is divided into short, digestible lessons. Each section is clearly organized, ensuring that you won’t get lost in the weeds and lose sight of the bigger picture.That’s what Node.js always has been to me, from the moment I first heard Ryan talk about it to the present. Node.js is a powerful tool that gives me, a JavaScript developer, the capability to own my entire application. I think that you’ll find this book to be the guide you’ve been looking for as you cross over from knowing about Node.js to knowing how to wield it effectively as your favorite web application tool.
