The Node Craftsman Book shows you how to work with Node.js and how to think deeply about how you build your Node projects. You’ll master how to build a complete Node.js application across six crafting milestones, and you’ll learn many specific skills to achieve that mastery. These skills include how to work with the Node Package Manager in depth, how to connect your Node applications to databases, and how to write unit tests and end-to-end tests for your code. You’ll experience the full Node.js development picture, and learn how to craft and control your Node.js applications – right through to fully-fledged web applications using REST, and integration with Angular applications.
