About This Book
Take your web development skills from browser to server with Node—and learn how to write fast, highly scalable network applications on this JavaScript-based platform. With this hands-on guide, you’ll quickly master Node’s core fundamentals, gain experience with several built-in and contributed modules, and learn the differences and parallels between client- and server-side programming.
Get up to speed on Node’s event-driven, asynchronous I/O model for developing data-intensive applications that are frequently accessed but computationally simple. If you’re comfortable working with JavaScript, this book provides numerous programming and deployment examples to help you take advantage of server-side development with Node.
* Explore Node’s unique approach to asynchronous development
* Build sample Node applications with the Express framework and Connect middleware
* Use NoSQL solutions such as Redis and MongoDB—and explore Node’s relational database modules
* Work with PDF files, serve HTML5 media, and create graphics with Canvas
* Set up bidirectional communication between browser and server with WebSockets
* Learn in-depth practices for debugging and testing your applications
* Deploy Node applications in the cloud or on your own system
“Learning Node will make it easy for someone from any programming background to get a grip on Node.js and build amazing projects.”
—Tom Hughes-Croucher, co-author of Node: Up and Running (O’Reilly)
