This in depth book on Node.js 9.x provides a takes a deep dive into the history, internals, use cases, and API's of Node.KS. More importantly, the updated edition adds insight into the new features of 9.x such as async/await, gives an excellent overview of micro-services architecture, walks through working with Kubernetes locally to speed up development and prepare for production deployments, and takes a run at debugging and testing. This is a great read for new Node.JS developers, and experienced developers looking to get up to speed with Node 9.x and current best practices.

It seems to be the best nodejs book i have ever discovered

I remember buying the first edition of this book back in 2013 when I didn’t know what the hell I was doing the software world. Reading through a few chapters of this second edition, I was impressed at the level of details, concepts and the fact that this book continues to focus on mastering the core platform that is Node.js before moving into higher level concepts on top of the platform.I will also note that this Packt title is written damn well and flows properly which is a requirement for my expectations at this point.

This is a great book, full of what I think is the edge of Node coding and way of think.The only two things that is not great is this book are:- First: It doesn't go all the way with examples. I had to download the code. But I think when you are following a way of thinking it's best to show you all the way, not just part of it. Because if I am lost I can turn back and start over. Which was not possible in several examples.- Second: The use of paid examples. I don't have accounts in amazon, twillio, or digital ocean, which makes the examples provided hard to follow. As I said previosly in the first point, I would prefer to follow it all through.But that is just my opinion. Besides that, I recommend it very much. Very rich and the autor show his incredible mastery of Node.If you want to improve your knowlodge in Node... go for it buying it !
