Node.js Web Development

About Node.js

JavaScript is at the fingertips of every frontend web developer, making it a very popular programming language, so much so that it is stereotyped as being for client-side code in web pages. The chances are that, having picked up this book, you've heard of Node.js, a programming platform for coding in JavaScript outside web browsers. Now about ten years old, Node.js is becoming a mature programming platform that's widely used in projects both big and small.

This book will give you an introduction to Node.js. By the end of this book, you will have learned about the complete lifecycle of developing server-side web applications using Node.js, from concept to deployment and security. In writing this book, we have presumed the following:

  • You already know how to write software.
  • You are familiar with JavaScript.
  • You know something about developing web applications in other languages.

When we evaluate a new programming tool, do we latch on because it's the popular new tool? Maybe some of us do that, but the mature approach is to weigh one tool against another. That's what this chapter is about, presenting the technical rationale for using Node.js. Before getting to the code, we must consider what Node.js is and how it fits in the overall marketplace of software development tools. Then we will dive right into developing working applications and recognize that often the best way to learn is by rummaging around in working code.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • An introduction to Node.js
  • What you can do with Node.js
  • Why you should use Node.js
  • The architecture of Node.js
  • Performance, utilization, and scalability with Node.js
  • Node.js, microservice architecture, and testing
  • Implementing the twelve-factor app model with Node.js

Key benefits

  • Learn backend web programming with the JavaScript stack
  • Explore best practices, right from configuring and building web servers to deploying them on a production cloud hosting system: AWS using Docker and Terraform
  • Work through the different stages of developing robust and scalable apps using Node.js 14

Description

Node.js is the leading choice of server-side web development platform, enabling developers to use the same tools and paradigms for both server-side and client-side software. This updated fifth edition of Node.js Web Development focuses on the new features of Node.js 14, Express 4.x, and ECMAScript, taking you through modern concepts, techniques, and best practices for using Node.js. The book starts by helping you get to grips with the concepts of building server-side web apps with Node.js. You’ll learn how to develop a complete Node.js web app, with a backend database tier to help you explore several databases. You'll deploy the app to real web servers, including a cloud hosting platform built on AWS EC2 using Terraform and Docker Swarm, while integrating other tools such as Redis and NGINX. As you advance, you'll learn about unit and functional testing, along with deploying test infrastructure using Docker. Finally, you'll discover how to harden Node.js app security, use Let's Encrypt to provision the HTTPS service, and implement several forms of app security with the help of expert practices. With each chapter, the book will help you put your knowledge into practice throughout the entire life cycle of developing a web app. By the end of this Node.js book, you’ll have gained practical Node.js web development knowledge and be able to build and deploy your own apps on a public web hosting solution.

Who is this book for?

If you're looking for an alternative to the ‘P’ languages (Perl, PHP, and Python), or if you want to get started with server-side web development with JavaScript programming, or if you want a deep dive into deploying services to cloud hosting, this Node.js book is for you. A rudimentary understanding of JavaScript and web application development is a must before you get started with this book.

What you will learn

  • Install and use Node.js 14 and Express 4.17 for both web development and deployment
  • Implement RESTful web services using the Restify framework
  • Develop, test, and deploy microservices using Docker, Docker Swarm, and Node.js, on AWS EC2 using Terraform
  • Get up to speed with using data storage engines such as MySQL, SQLite3, and MongoDB
  • Test your web applications using unit testing with Mocha, and headless browser testing with Puppeteer
  • Implement HTTPS using Let s Encrypt and enhance application security with Helmet

The book covers good ground and is easy to grasp. I did not really need to jump between the book and google to catch up wondering "what the author did there" which is generally the case in such books. It has been well written and would definitely get you up to speed with server side developer. I can now understand their lingo. The book gave me a clear perspective and also helped me with scalability. The project steps seem easy to follow and it works. Testing the application was pretty insightful from the author of the book.

Hi! I am fine with the book but as its almost 2023 I wonder if 6th edition on the way or it makes no sense to wait for it?

This book is great. I had some knowledge about full-stack JavaScript, but this book has already taught me a lot. I wouldn’t say that this book is for a complete beginner to software development (coding), but it’s definitely good if you need to deepen your understanding of JavaScript, or if you’re interested in getting started with JavaScript from another backend language like Python, C#, Ruby, etc.
