Sails.js in Action

DESCRIPTION

Node.js has rapidly become a viable choice for large-scale web

applications that previously relied on Java, PHP, or Rails. Sails.js is a

modern MVC framework for Node that radically simplifies back-end

web development. Sails provides full support for data access, real-time

programming with web sockets, enterprise-caliber security, and

modern development workflow patterns. It also offers powerful

productivity features like rapid API development via Sails blueprints,

task automation via node-machines, and easy integration with frontend

frameworks like Ember and Angular.



Sails.js in Action is a comprehensive guide to building enterprisecapable

web applications using Node and Sails. Written by the creators

of the Sails.js framework, this book carefully introduces each concept,

technique, and tool with real-world examples and crystal-clear

explanations. Readers follow perfectly-paced, gap-free instruction as

they learn to build the back end of a typical Single Page Web

Application. As readers hone skills, they explore advanced features

like services, hooks, and file uploads. Along the way, they learn to

fully understand Node's asynchronous programming model and the

syntax and conventions used to implement it.
