Node.js in Action [PDF]

node js in action

JavaScript on the server? You bet. Node js is a JavaScript server capable of supporting scalable, high-performance web applications.

Using asynchronous I/O, the server can do more than one thing at a time, a key requirement for real-time apps like chat, games, and live statistics. And since it’s JavaScript, you use the same language end to end.

Node js in Action shows you how to build production-quality applications. Clear introductions of key concepts and example-by-example coverage take you from setup to deployment. You’ll dive into asynchronous programming, data storage, and output templating, and interact with the filesystem to create non-HTTP applications like TCP/IP servers and command-line tools. Perfect for a web developer transitioning from Rails, Django, or PHP. Requires basic knowledge of JavaScript.

No prior experience with Node.js needed.
