This is a step-by-step guide for building a complete application from scratch without too much information overload. It adheres to a pragmatic approach to learn the different areas of Node.js using ample code examples.
If the phrase scalability sounds alien to you, then this is an ideal book for you. You will not need much Node.js experience as each framework is demonstrated in a way that requires no previous knowledge of the framework. You will be building scalable Node.js applications in no time. Knowledge of JavaScript is required.

About the Author

Joshua Johanan

Joshua Johanan is a web developer who currently lives in South Bend, Indiana. He has been a web developer for 5 years. He has built sites using many different languages, including PHP, Python, JavaScript, and C#, although if asked, he would prefer using Python and JavaScript. These languages have led him to use different MVC frameworks such as Zend Framework, Django, and .NET's MVC. As you can tell from this book, he has used JavaScript on both the backend with Node.js and the frontend using many different libraries. These include Backbone, React, jQuery, and plain old JavaScript. He currently works for a health care organization, writing websites in C#. This does not allow him to utilize the latest flashy browser technologies, but it does enforce good development skills such as maintainability and scalability. This is his first book, but he posts regularly on his blog at http://ejosh.co/de.
