Who this book is for

We assume that you have some knowledge of JavaScript and possibly have experience with server-side code development, and that you are looking for a different way of developing server-side code.

Server-side engineers may find the concepts behind Node.js refreshing. It offers a new perspective on web application development and a different take on server architectures from the monoliths we deal with in other programming languages. JavaScript is a powerful language and Node.js's asynchronous nature plays to its strengths. Having JavaScript on both the frontend and the backend gives a whole new meaning.

Developers experienced with browser-side JavaScript will find it productive to bring that knowledge to a new territory.

Although our focus is on web application development, Node.js knowledge can be applied in other areas as well. As said earlier, Node.js is widely used to develop many types of applications.
