This book is a hands-on guide to learning everything needed to build a professional web application using Node.js, the open-source, cross-platform, back-end JavaScript runtime environment. Craig Buckler starts off with the basics - installation and building your first apps. He then moves on to more advanced concepts, including debugging, asynchronous programming, using Express.js, working with databases, deployment, and more, and finishes by showing how to build a complete multi-player real-time quiz application.
