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.

What you will learn

Process HTTP requests and perform file operations

Create RESTful web services that can be consumed by client-side apps

Work with server apps serving JavaScript clients, such as React and Angular

Leverage Node.js to work with popular databases

Apply practical knowledge through building the SportsStore project

Authenticate users and authorize access to application features

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled?

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.

I am still digesting this book (at about half of through), but it answered my relatively newbie questions already and I found the most difficult (for me it was the Node's code execution, concurrency model) topics explained so well I am not worried I can embrace the modern NodeJS - based Web development.I found the most precious the topics on data models, debugging and RESTFULL services ( I am on a data wrangling spree ). The real application example is a real gem - allows to solidify and repeat learn the material.The harder parts I wish could be easier are the ones on security, Docker and deployment in general.My advice for a book reader - learn the NPM commands and make helper scripts.

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.

This book does an excellent job of covering development with Node.js and the surrounding web ecosystem. It starts from the ground up by introducing the required tooling and providing an overview of JavaScript and TypeScript. It runs the gamut on what you would normally be expected to know when building a Node.js app: HTTP, streams, HTML templates, databases, authentication, etc.For folks new to Node.js, this book will help get you up and running with a production grade app. For seasoned Node.js developers, it provides a good reference for filling in the blanks in your knowledge (or at least blowing the dust off the knowledge you already have).The book also covers some niche stuff like worker threads, which is nice if you don’t feel like scouring the web to figure out how to use them. I like how the author walks you through building an entire app in the last few chapters. Overall, I’d say it’s definitely worth a read!
