Learning Node

Take your web development skills from browser to server with Node—and learn how to write fast, highly scalable network applications on this javascript-based platform. With this hands-on guide, you’ll quickly master Node’s core fundamentals, gain experience with several built-in and contributed modules, and learn the differences and parallels between client- and server-side programming. Get up to speed on Node’s event-driven, asynchronous I/O model for developing data-intensive applications that are frequently accessed but computationally simple. If you’re comfortable working with javascript, this book provides numerous programming and deployment examples to help you take advantage of server-side development with Node.
