Key benefits

  • Packed with practical examples and explanations, Mastering Node.js contains everything you need to take your applications to the next level.
  • Unleash the full potential of Node.js 9 to build real-time and scalable applications.
  • Gain in-depth knowledge of asynchronous programming, event loops, and parallel data processing.
  • Explore Node's innovative event-non-blocking design, and build professional applications with the help of detailed examples.

Description

Node.js, a modern development environment that enables developers to write server- and client-side code with JavaScript, thus becoming a popular choice among developers. This book covers the features of Node that are especially helpful to developers creating highly concurrent real-time applications. It takes you on a tour of Node's innovative event non-blocking design, showing you how to build professional applications. This edition has been updated to cover the latest features of Node 9 and ES6. All code examples and demo applications have been completely rewritten using the latest techniques, introducing Promises, functional programming, async/await, and other cutting-edge patterns for writing JavaScript code. Learn how to use microservices to simplify the design and composition of distributed systems. From building serverless cloud functions to native C++ plugins, from chatbots to massively scalable SMS-driven applications, you'll be prepared for building the next generation of distributed software. By the end of this book, you'll be building better Node applications more quickly, with less code and more power, and know how to run them at scale in production environments.

Who is this book for?

This book is targeted at JavaScript developers who want to take an in-depth look at the latest Node.js framework to create faster, scalable, real-time backend applications. Basic JavaScript programming knowledge—and also some previous Node.js development experience—are mandatory to get the best out of this book

What you will learn

  • Build an Electron desktop app using Node that manages a filesystem
  • Explore Streams and understand how they apply to building networked services
  • Develop and deploy an SMS-driven customer service application
  • Use WebSockets for rapid bi-directional communication
  • Construct serverless applications with Amazon Lambda
  • Test and debug with headless browsers, CPU profiling, Mocha, Sinon, and more
  • Scale applications vertically and horizontally across multiple cores and web services

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.

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 !
