Node.js in Action, Second Edition is a thoroughly revised
book based on the best-selling first edition. It starts at square
one and guides you through all the features, techniques, and
concepts you'll need to build production-quality Node
applications.
About the Technology
You already know JavaScript. The trick to mastering Node.js is
learning how to build applications that fully exploit its powerful
asynchronous event handling and non-blocking I/O features. The Node
server radically simplifies event-driven real-time apps like chat,
games, and live data analytics, and with its incredibly rich
ecosystem of modules, tools, and libraries, it's hard to beat!
