DESCRIPTION

JavaScript on the server? You bet! Node.js is a JavaScript framework

that can be used to create 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.

Node.js in Action, Second Edition is a thoroughly-revised new edition

that starts at square one and guides readers through all the features,

techniques, and concepts needed to build production-quality Node

applications. The book dives into the many different uses of Node:

traditional web applications, real-time web applications, non-web

network applications, and even desktop applications. It also covers the

ongoing development of Node via io.js and the emerging ECMAScript

6 features.

KEY FEATURES

• Simplifies web application development

• Teaches Node.js from the ground up

• Outlines valuable online resources

• Application examples including chat, microblogging, and more

AUDIENCE

Perfect for a web developer transitioning from Rails, Django, or PHP.

Requires basic knowledge of JavaScript. No prior experience with Node.js

needed.
