Synopsis

Node.js has emerged as a strong alternative to PHP, and has taken the world of web development by storm. Node.js is a platform for building fast, scalable network applications using JavaScript as a server-side scripting language. JavaScript developers are currently seeking guidance on how to properly leverage server-side frameworks such as Node.js to build quality web applications. The range of modules and the well-designed package system makes development with Node.js a joy, and developers have only just started exploring its realm of possibilities.

Starting with an overview of the most popular programming paradigms, you will venture out on a journey to the depths of Node.js, utilizing its capabilities to conceptualize and develop applications using AngularJS, Socket.io, BackboneJS, EmberJS, and GruntJS.

The unique project-based chapters will guide you through how to build an impressive website, a customized blog application, real-time chat application and a handy To-Do list manager.

Packed with real-world examples and trade secrets gained from years of experience in the web development domain, this book takes you to the next level and teaches you everything you need to know to utilize the astronomical potential of Node.js . As a JavaScript platform, Node.js can also be used for desktop application development, which you will learn about in the final chapter of this book.

This is a definitive guide that offers hands-on experience in using this open source and destructively popular JavaScript platform-Node.js.
