I was having a little bit of experiences with Node.js and I was looking a book to really improve my skills. This book is well written and the example are clear and the code well explained. I recommend this book if you are looking for a good introduction to node.js

It is intended towards people who are new to NodeJS and want to learn the very basics of it. I managed to finish it in one weekend with other weekend chores. I like the emphasis on basic concept supported by different examples.I read 2 more books after this one on MEAN stack and had I not read this one first, it would be harder to grasp those.

This is an excellent book covering a wide range of topics surrounding Node.js web development.David does a superb job of leading you through the full lifecycle of a Node.js web application, explaining each piece along the way. You will gain a deep understanding of Node.js development all the way from initial setup to testing and deployment.This is not a book where you are simply told to copy and paste code and that is all. David ensures that you gain a solid competency in each section before moving on to the next. You WILL have excellent knowledge of Node.js web development after reading this book.I would highly recommend this book for Node.js developers both new and old. There is something to be gained for all.Disclaimer: I was the reviewer for this book.

Great book with amazing attention to detail and exciting projectsToo often code books fall into the classic "copy this, get that" format for teaching code which is useful for short term projects but rarely useful for actual learning. With clear, concise examples that are legitimately interesting as well as step by step instructions for implementation on a wide variety of operating systems this book strikes the perfect balance between showing and telling which allows the reader to understand Node.What I was really impressed with is the emphasis on testing and debugging. For me, learning how to debug and test/build the environment is half the battle of learning a new language. This book has a very in-depth tutorial to setting up an environment and using the debugging and testing tools available. This helps remove a lot of the mystery that comes with new languages, and builds a better foundation for the reader.The book is also very well written and can explain really complex topics in a way that makes it easier to understand and uses code examples and exercises to supplement the text that is already there.Overall, I would highly recommend this book to any developers looking to dive into Node as well as any developers looking to brush up on the newest and latest changes to JavaScript.
