I am not a professional coder or programmer. My job is health related. I code as a hobby. This book is what you need to get into development with Mongo and Nodejs. The example application inside the book will form a nice real time app also. The concepts are very well explained without boring you. Even a person like me can understand and code everything.

This book is a quick read to get you quickly running building any web applications with a MongoDB backend. The examples are easy to follow and quick to convert to a real scenario web application. Many extras beyond teaching the node and mongo lesson.

Writing RESTful services in Nodejs can be as simple as glueing modules. Internet is plenty of Node.js middleware. To achieve so, you first need to learn the basics.It's better to have some previous knowledge of Javascript before reading this book as Web Development with MongoDB and Node.js has a tiny introduction to Javascript and Node.js.The book explains how to scaffold web applications through full coded examples. Middleware is the key of being highly productive and the book uses and explains the most well-known modules. You'll find out a big example split into several chapters that is a clone of a popular social image-sharing site that will show you things such as:Express: handle routing, middleware injection, ...Connect: a suite of middleware for multiple things. In the book Connect is used to deal with json, cookies, logging, parsing, encoding, HTTP method support, handling errors ...Handlebars: apart from explaining the basics of this template engine, it also shows how to build html layouts, partial views which prevent code duplication and helpers used for injecting functions at the time of rendering.And all this is wired up with MongoDB which is a NoSQL database. You'll learn the really basics of CRUD operations over Mongo (Create, Retrieve, Update and Delete). But Mongo is such simple that it really doesn't need further explanation other than seeing the API definition. This makes the book swift and faster to read. As it's already a tradition with Mongo and Javascript, it also involves Mongoose. Mongoose introduces schemas and models, that is to say built-in types, field restrictions and validation.The book culminates with four miscellaneous chapters. A chapter dedicated to testing using Behavior Driven Development (Mocha, Chai.js, Sinon.js, Proxyquire). Another chapter that gathers some web services (like Heroku, Amazon, Digital Ocean, Nodejitsu and Microsoft Azure) and tells how to deploy your nodejs web-apps. And finally, the last two chapters reviews front-end frameworks like: Backbone.js, Ember.js, Angular.js; and Node.js frameworks like Meteor, Sails, hapi, Koa or Flatiron.At the end of the book you will be more likely to start developing your own RESTful services as Node.js makes things simple and this book covers really common problems.You can get your copy of Web Development with MongoDB and Node.js right here!

Jason is a MEAN expert! Great real world examples and spoken in a language that anyone can understand. Highly recommend this book to anyone who is spiking the Mongo/Express/Angular/Node stack to build engaging single page apps in JS.

This book contains hands-on instructions for getting started with development of complete interactive Web sites using up-to-day Web technologies. It empowers readers with practical knowledge of Node.js and MongoDB. The first chapter describes new concepts of Web development, which were introduced with Node.js. From chapter 4, Writing an Express.js Server, we are guided to create a sample Web application, which includes all main functionality of real-world applications, based on the usage of Express.js Web framework. Chapter 9, Testing Your Code, introduces the tools and techniques to write automated tests for Node.js code. Chapter 10, Deploying with Cloud-based Services, provides detailed instructions for Cloud-based deployment and hosting of Web applications. In chapter 12, Popular Node.js Web Frameworks, author reviews other Web frameworks, including recently-emerged ones, and analyzes their advantages, drawbacks and cases of usage. The book is written by clear and concise language. The content includes a lot of code fragments, schemes, and screenshots. Each chapter ends with Summary section, which recapitulates all the main topics of the chapter. There are several reminder sections, like A JavaScript Primer, which recalls JavaScript basics, or What is an API, which discusses API development concepts. All chapters include links to additional information resources. For all main technologies being discussed, detailed step-by-step installation instructions are provided for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux environment, which greatly stimulate readers to download and try all the stuff. I think that this book can be useful for all Web developers, who want to use modern technologies for creating powerful and scalable Web applications.
