Mastering Node.js – Second Edition: Build robust and scalable real time server side applications efficiently 2nd Edition
Expert techniques for building fast servers and scalable, real-time network applications with minimal effort; rewritten for Node.js 8 and Node.js 9
Node.js, a modern development environment that enables developers to write server- and client-side code with JavaScript, thus becoming a popular choice among developers.
This book covers the features of Node that are especially helpful to developers creating highly concurrent real-time applications. It takes you on a tour of Node’s innovative event non-blocking design, showing you how to build professional applications. This edition has been updated to cover the latest features of Node 9 and ES6. All code examples and demo applications have been completely rewritten using the latest techniques, introducing Promises, functional programming, async/await, and other cutting-edge patterns for writing JavaScript code. Learn how to use microservices to simplify the design and composition of distributed systems. From building serverless cloud functions to native C++ plugins, from chatbots to massively scalable SMS-driven applications, you’ll be prepared for building the next generation of distributed software.
By the end of this book, you’ll be building better Node applications more quickly, with less code and more power, and know how to run them at scale in production environments.
