Server-side applications with Node.js, covering HTTP requests, static and dynamic content delivery, form data processing, and RESTful web services
Hands-on examples, step-by-step code listings, and best practices for building and deploying server applications
Common services like authentication, managing application state, and performance optimization

Description

Dive into the world of Node.js with this comprehensive guide, taking you from foundational concepts to practical web development mastery. Written by an industry veteran with over 50 programming books under his belt, this book will help both beginners and seasoned developers. Gain a deep understanding of the most important server-side features in web development with Node.js. The first part of the book will get you up to speed with basic features of Node.js and TypeScript. In the second part, you’ll elevate your skills by creating simplified implementations of key server-side features to understand how they work and how they are presented to clients. Armed with the understanding gained from implementing each feature, you will be able to replace custom code with production-ready open-source packages. The third part will help you understand how server-side features are combined for practical web development. Using Adam Freeman’s signature SportsStore application, you will learn how to develop client and server-side components, culminating in a thorough application deployment preparation. By the end of this Node.js book, you will be able to build and deploy server applications to support HTTP clients, including JavaScript applications created with frameworks such as Angular and React.

I spent a couple of weeks reviewing this title, my background is that I have been programming for more than 25 years. This means I’m old enough to have seen a lot of bad Node code over the last 8-10 years, I’ve also seen some pretty nice code, projects adopt Typescript and get into refactor hell and so on. I am going to go out on a lib and say I like Adam Freeman, I don’t know him, haven’t met him, but I like the way he’s able to reason about node and to present the material in this title. I am delighted that titles have now gravitated towards using Typescript as default and that extolling the benefits of catching runtime errors at dev stage is a solid and encouraged practice.On to the meat and bones of the title. If you’re new to node or you feel you can scrape by but you’re not really a node developer then this title holds some decent value for you. You’ll get a modern take on node development, you’ll get typescript, you’ll get sensible community package choices, handy npm scripts, you’ll use webpack (still the #1 bundler found in the wild despite the vogue of other options) and you’ll be able to elevate yourself from beginner or lacking confidence to a competent contributor on node projects and most crucially for the 2024 and beyond Job market you’ll be able to do it in Typescript. Slightly unsure if the template sections are as necessary as they were before 2018 given the ubiquitous nature of React in typical projects using node for the backend but in the spirit of completeness it does make sense to include.A solid read I enjoyed working through, code I didn’t want to take issue with and a recommended title. An easy 4 - 4.5 stars affair.

I am a C# developer and have touched on JS and TS when creating web applications, so I already have a basic understanding of them. However, this book would be great for someone with absolutely no experience with either as it takes you through all aspects required to progress through the books chapters culminating in the creation of a store with database support and full data validation. It even covers creating a docker image from the finished project.Overall a great read for beginners, I would highly recommend.
