Book Description

Node.js is a modern development stack focused on providing an easy way to build scalable network software. Backed by a growing number of large companies and a rapidly increasing developer base, Node is revolutionizing the way that software is being built today. Powered by Google's V8 engine and built out of C++ modules, this is a JavaScript environment for the enterprise.Mastering Node.js will take the reader deep into this exciting development environment. Beginning with a comprehensive breakdown of its innovative non-blocking evented design, Node's structure is explained in detail, laying out how its blazingly fast I/O performance simplifies the creation of fast servers, scalable architectures, and responsive web applications.Mastering Node.js takes you through a concise yet thorough tour of Node's innovative evented non-blocking design, showing you how to build professional applications with the help of detailed examples.Learn how to integrate your applications with Facebook and Twitter, Amazon and Google, creating social apps and programs reaching thousands of collaborators on the cloud. See how the Express and Path frameworks make the creation of professional web applications painless. Set up one, two, or an entire server cluster with just a few lines of code, ready to scale as soon as you're ready to launch. Move data seamlessly between databases and file systems, between clients, and across network protocols, using a beautifully designed, consistent, and predictable set of tools.Mastering Node.js contains all of the examples and explanations you'll need to build applications in a short amount of time and at a low cost, running on a scale and speed that would have been nearly impossible just a few years ago.

This book is indeed about 'mastering' node. It is a book for the professional with a need to understand where the true strengths of the framework lie. Above all it dispenses with the notion that node can't 'do' multi-CPU machines and elegantly explains why the node solution will trump the old multi-threaded blocking options.I was relieved to find there is no 'introduction' to the javascript language (for example). The book assumes you are familiar with node already. Indeed you are really straight 'in there' with e.g. Streams2, scaling servers and child process forking; which is just what I wanted as there is a paucity of documentation and discussion about node.js out there, even on Stackoverflow. This book contains quite a lot more information and guidance than I could find on the internet, so for me it is a good buy. As usual with all tech books, the program examples don't render well on Kindle, so this time I bought the hardcopy !

ELIAS POLITAKIS Oct 22, 2015

An excellent book on the internals of Node.js that covers almost EVERY aspect for producing scalable Network Servers, but sadly not in the depth I was expecting. Still, the book covers libuv Event Loop, node.js processes and forks, CPU clustering with HTTP Server example, Socket I/O and Streams, Session Management tools such as Redis, Reverse Proxies and RabbitMQ, Errors and Exceptions, Amazon Web Services and a little of Native C++ Addons. The book's figures are not brilliant as the author fails big-time to produce understandable drawings (I had to scratch my head a lot until I could understand them) and it does not get into technologies such as MemCached or Redis too much. Still, you can get up-to-speed with Node.js in just 48 hours and seek other material from there. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for newbies into node.js advanced programming.

Amazon Customer Jan 03, 2017

Nice book. Though, it is not for beginners. You must be familiar with Node.js before giving it a try. As the name suggests, 'Mastering Node.js', for getting mastery over the subject, you can go for this book.

Rakesh Oct 20, 2014

Not sure why this is not being recommended by people(...marketing failure?). This is a must have book for mastering theory(along with some practice) of Node.js. I like detailed theory before diving into a technology, and this book explains it beautifully. I skimmed through few famous node books, but all of them(yes, all of them) fall short on explaining how node works.

Timothy Ha Nov 28, 2014

This is clearly not a book for novice programmers wanting to learn a new and trendy thing. But if you're someone who is making choices for your own projects or your company's ones, please take a look at this book. It clearly explains why Node.js is a smart and scalable solution, it gives you understanding how you will use Node.js in the overall architecture of your services. The book is a good blend of theoretical musings (like threads v.s. event loop) and links to proven components for a Node.js-based solution (like Express framework, nginx, nodejitsu and so on).
