Appendix B. Introducing the Path Framework

	"Great acts are made up of small deeds."
	--Lao Tzu

JavaScript is the only language natively installed in browsers. All web-based applications depend on JavaScript to deliver their UI. If you are using a framework built on another language (such as Ruby on Rails), you must merge two completely different development models, one for the client and one for the server. With the arrival of Node and JavaScript on the server, this unfortunate and awkward workflow has been made smooth and elegant.

The Path Framework is a powerful full-stack application development platform that will help you create enterprise-class applications in less time. Unlike Express, which is limited to the server side of an application, and client-side frameworks such as EmberJS that offer no help on building servers, Path unifies your application development process. With its focus on the full stack, Path enables the JavaScript developer to build...

Sandro Pasquali

Sandro Pasquali formed a technology company named Simple in 1997, that sold the world's first JavaScript-based application development framework and was awarded several patents for deployment and advertising technologies that anticipated the future of Internet-based software. Node represents, for him, the natural next step in the inexorable march towards the day when JavaScript powers nearly every level of software development. Sandro has led the design of enterprise-grade applications for some of the largest companies in the world, including Nintendo, Major League Baseball, Bang and Olufsen, LimeWire, AppNexus, Conde Nast, and others. He has displayed interactive media exhibits during the Venice Biennial, won design awards, built knowledge management tools for research institutes and schools, and started and run several start-ups. Always seeking new ways to blend design excellence and technical innovation, he has made significant contributions across all levels of software architecture, from data management and storage tools to innovative user interfaces and frameworks. He is the author of Deploying Node.js, also by Packt Publishing, which aims to help developers get their work in front of others. Sandro runs a software development company in New York and trains corporate development teams interested in using Node and JavaScript to improve their products. He spends the rest of his time entertaining his beautiful daughter, and his wife.
