Key benefits

Rapid application development with Mongoose on the Node.js stack
Use Mongoose to give structure and manageability to MongoDB data
Practical exampless on how to use Mongoose for CRUD operations
Provides a number of helpful tips and takes away the complexity of everyday MongoDB operations
Walks you through building a project management application using Mongoose, Node.js, MongoDB, and Express

Description

Mongoose is all about putting the data model where it should be: in your application. You can control everything from within your application in JavaScript, eliminating the need to work with the database or a separate management system. Mongoose for Application Development is a practical, hands-on guide that takes you from installing the technology stack through the steps of developing a web application. It covers the key features of Mongoose and how to use them to rapidly develop a Node.js and MongoDB application. This book introduces the full technology stack of Node.js, MongoDB, Express, and Mongoose. It will take you through the process of building an application on this stack with a focus on how Mongoose makes the process quicker and easier. You will see how Mongoose removes a layer of complexity when dealing with MongoDB whilst giving you more control over your data from your application. You will learn how to define schemas and models for your data in JavaScript. Using these schemas and models, you will learn how to build the cornerstone of any web application that will include CRUD operations (creating, reading, updating, and deleting data). If you want to learn how to build applications quickly and efficiently using Node.js, then Mongoose and this book are ideal for you. Using practical examples throughout, Mongoose for Application Development not only teaches you about the concepts of Mongoose, but walks through how to use them to build a real-life application.

Who is this book for?

This book is ideal for people who want to develop applications on the Node.js stack quickly and efficiently. Prior knowledge of the stack is not essential as the book briefly covers the installation of the core components and builds all aspects of the example application. The focus of the book is on what Mongoose adds to you applications, so experienced Node.js developers will also benefit.

Amazing book. There are a lot of tips and tricks in there and if you use mongoose a lot you will actually find a lot of cool coding secrets and explanations to weird things that go on under the hood. Its a must read if you like Mongoose.

This is an excellent book for anyone moving from C#/.NET or any other non-web based development platform. It is a great way to get a quick start if you want to jump onto the Javascript bandwagon and get ready for web apps that run and behave like Windows apps.The book covers everything you need to build a browser based application (or mobile apps too) with all code being Javascript. The examples are easy to follow and to the point, including the traditional CRUD application. Routes, Jade templates, JSON, AJAX, data validation and plugins are all also covered. It's just a good book to get started writing client and server side applications. Also covers a lot of the different methods for fetching and working with data. Mongoose has a "code first" database creation feature that is very cool.There is one problem due to changes made to Node.js launch for Express/Mongoose since the date of publication. I'd recommend skipping the getting started instructions in the book (chapter 1) and use this web site instead, especially if you are running with MS Windows:[...]I found the above URL after following the book's instructions, step-by-step (using Windows 7) and couldn't get Express to fire up. Other than that, I'd recommend using this book for anyone who wants to get started writing highly responsive web based/mobile applications.

This book helped me a lot. It's small, to the point. The code works. It got me up to speed. Good job

Konstantin Sep 26, 2013

I bought this book from the publishers site to help me get up to speed with using Mongoose, Node.js, MongoDB, and Express. I must say i am very impressed with it. The book is very well written, and the examples work as expected. (unlike other programming books you buy). The sample project in the book comes in very handy and teaches you how to build a CRUD like application using these technology stack. Note that the major focus on this book is mongoose! Though you get to understand how the other stack work, they are not in-depth. Mongoose however is cover pretty deeply.

Eric Rabbath May 02, 2014

This is an excellent short book on using Mongoose to connect your MongoDB back-end database to your Node.js application. The explanations are very clear and to the point, and the examples given are always an excellent illustration of the point being discussed.The ongoing example is also well chosen, and well used to integrate the various concepts into a complete working application. It uses Express to build the application, and while the explanations in the book are very clear and complete, a basic understanding of the key concepts of the Express framework (routes, request, response objects) is useful to really understand what is going on.As mentioned by others, the installation instructions are a little out of date, but this can very easily be solved with a simple web search.
