I bought the paper and kindle versions of "Getting started with hapi.js" about six weeks ago. I had worked with various Node.js projects for a few years before this. Most of them used Express and I had only briefly looked at hapi. Hearing about the high quality standards of the hapi project and the clear, opinionated approach let me to look deeper so I started with this book.The best thing about this book is the clear, concise style and well thought out structure. It doesn't seem to have any agenda other than clearly explaining the subject matter and doesn't it go overboard with long-winded text. It's both accessible to a newcomer and useful for anyone with more experience. For me, I was able to digest it quickly, get what I needed and start putting it into practice right away. Some tech books require a heavy time investment by the reader but this one seems to understand that the reader's time is precious. I got a positive impression of the hapi ecosystem and good foundations to get up and running. It took a short amount of time to work through the examples but they all worked well and helped to make what I was learning stick.If you're interested in getting into Node development for the first time or already use Node and need to get a quick but solid overview of hapi, you won't regret choosing this book. You'll finish up with a solid understanding of the hapi project, routing, plugins, testing, authentication and joi validation. There are also some handy tips on production deployment and debugging.

Einleitend ein paar Worte zu meinem Hintergrund, um meine Rezension besser einschätzen zu können:Ich selbst arbeite schon seit einigen Jahren mit JavaScript und mit NodeJS. Habe dabei unter anderem Erfahrung mit dem Framework Express gesammelt und bin daher mit der Materie ein wenig vertraut.Das Buch gliedert sich in sieben prägnante Kapitel, die die jeweilige Thematik kurz und informativ abdecken.Neben dem üblichen einleitenden Kapitel, das die Prinzipien von Hapi beschreibt und einen schönen Einstieg in die Thematik bietet, wird in den beiden folgenden Kapiteln gleich richtig interessant. Der Autor erläutert ausführlich das Erstellen und Konfigurieren von Routes, ohne dabei zu weit und zu tief vorzugreifen. So wird die Validierung nur kurz angesprochen aber nicht weiter vertieft. Die Inhalte der jeweiligen Kapitel lassen sich ja dem "Blick ins Buch" entnehmen. Insgesamt wird auf guten 130 Seiten eine erstaunliche Bandbreite abgedeckt, ohne mit Informationen überschwemmt zu werden:- Plugins- Testing- Validierung- Authentifizierung- "Pro" Tipps zum Thema "Production Mode"Ich muss ehrlich zugeben, dass ich bisher von so recht dünnen Büchern oft enttäuscht war, aber John hat einen tollen Job gemacht.Einen besseren Einstieg in das Thema Hapi finden Sie kaum woanders. Der Autor steht zudem mit Rat und Tat per Twitter zur Seite, sollten Fragen auftauchen, die im Buch nicht geklärt werden können. Dieser Service verdient noch einen weiteren Stern! :)

This is a great book as an introduction to hapi.js. A little on the thin side, and one needs to supplement this with all the online material available.

I have found myself skipping many parts of the book after I found out that it is high level introduction to hapi.Although it is well written, it doesn't stand many tutorials on the web which thorough examples and explanations.

If you are looking out to start with hapi.js then this book will not help you much. Although it does provide some helpful tips, the subject matter is not presented systematically which deters the reader from progressively learning the framework (hapi.js). A few concepts are sprinkled here and there and it's left to the reader to complete the puzzle. There are large number of references (in the Kindle version) linking to the hapi.js documentation on the net. Also in many places, the author mentions new concepts without explaining, leaving his audience lost. Overall, the content matter is not organized for a beginner to quickly understand the framework to use it effectively in his / her next web project. The book does a poor job in developing the subject and given an option I would ask for a refund.
