Description
Node.js is the platform of choice for creating modern web services and products. This fast-paced book gets you on top of things on server-side programming with Node.js 8, as you develop real programs that are small, fast, low-profile, and useful. Take JavaScript beyond the browser, explore dynamic language features, and embrace evented programming.Harness the power of the event loop and non-blocking I/O to create highly parallel microservices and applications. This expanded and up to date second edition showcases the contemporary ECMAScript features, current best practices, and modern development techniques.
JavaScript is the backbone of the modern web, powering nearly every web app’s user interface. Node.js is JavaScript for the server. This greatly expanded second edition introduces new language features whilst dramatically increasing coverage of core topics. Each hands-on chapter offers increasingly more challenging topics and techniques, broadening your skill set and enabling you to think in Node.js.
Write asynchronous, non-blocking code the usage of Node.js’s style and patterns. Cluster and load balance services and products with Node.js core features and third-party tools. Harness the power of databases such as Elasticsearch and Redis. Work with many protocols, create RESTful web services and products, TCP socket clients and servers, and more. Test your code’s functionality with Mocha, and manage its life cycle with npm. Discover how Node.js pairs a server-side event loop with a JavaScript runtime to produce screaming fast, non-blocking concurrency. Through a series of practical programming domains, use the contemporary to be had ECMAScript features and harness key Node.js classes and popular modules. Create rich command-line tools and a web-based UI the usage of modern web development techniques.
Join the smart and diverse community that’s unexpectedly advancing the state-of-the-art in JavaScript development.
