Node.js in PracticeUpplaga 1

DESCRIPTION Node.js is a relatively new platform that lets software developers write the server side of web applications in JavaScript. Problem is—solid examples that show how to implement Node.js in production are still few and far between. That's exactly what this book offers. Node.js in Practice assembles nearly 100 practical techniques that can be used when implementing Node in production. All the code is tested, instantly useful, and relevant. It’s a random-access collection of fully-worked examples that offers solutions to the common-and not-so-common-issues faced when rolling out Node. It includes the ins and outs of event-based programming, how and why to use closures, how to structure applications to take advantage of end-to-end JavaScript apps, and more. The book arranges techniques into logical clusters like Events, Streams, File System, and Testing. The heavily-annotated code makes the examples easy to follow and handy cross-references show how techniques dovetail with other related examples. RETAIL SELLING POINTS Nearly 100 fully-worked examples Covers basic to advanced topics Logical easy to follow guide AUDIENCE This book is for software developers who have some understanding of Node.js and intend to use it in their everyday work or want solutions to specific problems. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Node is a server-side platform for developing network applications. It’s built on V8, Google’s JavaScript runtime engine.
