Book Description

Publication Date: 7 May 2012 | ISBN-10: 1449398588 | ISBN-13: 978-1449398583 | Edition: 1

This book introduces you to Node, the new web development framework written in JavaScript. You'll learn hands-on how Node makes life easier for experienced JavaScript developers: not only can you work on the front end and back end in the same language, you'll also have more flexibility in choosing how to divide application logic between client and server.

Written by a core contributor to the framework, Node: Up and Running shows you how Node scales up to support large numbers of simultaneous connections across multiple servers, and scales down to let you create quick one-off applications with minimal infrastructure. Built on the V8 JavaScript engine that runs Google Chrome, Node is already winning the hearts and minds of many companies, including Google and Yahoo! This book shows you why.

  • Understand Node's event-loop architecture, non-blocking I/O, and event-driven programming
  • Discover how Node supports a variety of database and data storage tools
  • Learn best practices for writing easy-to-maintain code for Node
  • Get concrete examples of how to use the various Node APIs in practice
  • Take advantage of the book’s complete API reference

3.0 out of 5 stars Was very good... until node changed 19 Aug 2012
By Laurent D - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this book to learn about Node and the book delivers. It explains well the single-threaded event model and most architecture patterns. My biggest issue with this book is that, sadly, it is outdated. Node.js evolves quite fast and obviously, the book can't keep up. This is a problem if you want to follow the examples, as they won't compile, because node.js removed partial views.

Anyone with access to google and a little research can look for the difference and still use the book. It simply requires a little bit more effort.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good way to get started with Node 17 Jun 2012
By JUAN JOSE DE LEON - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book gives developers the information needed to start with Node, assuming you have knowledge of JavaScript and general programming. It guides you through exercises and discussion.
It explains the concepts and decisions behind Node.js, preparing you for the circumstances where Node is beneficial and when is not, so you don't apply it to everything, as many people do with new technologies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and cogent presentation of Node.js necessities. 9 Jun 2012
By Charles J. Short - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is surprisingly well written in comparison to the many 'computer books' I've read. And it covers the key principles and gotchas of the Node.js event driven programming model: perfect for an 'Up and Running' style book.

This concise style, 184 pages, is the only down side. I hope the authors have the time to write a Node 'Cookbook' for the community which could detail more use cases for the many different Node modules.
