Learning Node.js brings together the knowledge and JavaScript code needed to build master the Node.js platform and build server-side applications with extraordinary speed and scalability.

Readers start by installing and running Node.js, understanding the extensions it uses, and quickly writing their first app. Next, building on the basics, they'll write more capable application servers and extend them with today’s most powerful Node.js tools and modules. Finally, readers will discover today’s best practices for testing, running Node.js code on production servers, and writing command-line utilities.

Throughout the book, author Marc Wandschneider teaches by walking the reader line-by-line through carefully crafted examples, demonstrating proven techniques for creating highly efficient applications and servers.
