DESCRIPTION
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past two years, you've heard about Node.js—a new platform that lets you write the server side of your web applications in JavaScript. Once you cut through all the buzz, though, solid examples that show you how to implement Node.js in production are still few and far between. That's exactly what you'll find in this book. Node.js in Practice assembles nearly 100 practical techniques that you'll use when you get down to the business of implementing Node in production. All the code is tested, instantly useful, and relevant.
Node.js in Practice is a random-access collection of fully-worked examples that offer solutions to the common-and not-so-common-issues you face when you roll out Node. You'll dig into important topics like 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 so you'll be able to find what you're looking for quickly. The heavily-annotated code makes the examples easy to follow, and handy cross-references show you how the technique you're reading dovetails with other related examples.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- Perfect next step for Node.js in Action readers
