Riassunto

Get the best out of Node.js by mastering its most powerful components and patterns to create modular and scalable applications with ease

Key Features

Book Description

Node.js is a massively popular software platform that lets you use JavaScript to easily create scalable server-side applications. It allows you to create efficient code, enabling a more sustainable way of writing software made of only one language across the full stack, along with extreme levels of reusability, pragmatism, simplicity, and collaboration. Node.js is revolutionizing the web and the way people and companies create their software.

In this book, we will take you on a journey across various ideas and components, and the challenges you would commonly encounter while designing and developing software using the Node.js platform. You will also discover the "Node.js way" of dealing with design and coding decisions.

The book kicks off by exploring the basics of Node.js describing it's asynchronous single-threaded architecture and the main design patterns. It then shows you how to master the asynchronous control flow patterns,and the stream component and it culminates into a detailed list of Node.js implementations of the most common design patterns as well as some specific design patterns that are exclusive to the Node.js world.Lastly, it dives into more advanced concepts such as Universal Javascript, and scalability' and it's meant to conclude the journey by giving the reader all the necessary concepts to be able to build an enterprise grade application using Node.js.

What you will learn

Who this book is for

The book is meant for developers and software architects with a basic working knowledge of JavaScript who are interested in acquiring a deeper understanding of how to design and develop enterprise-level Node.js applications.

Basic knowledge of Node.js is also helpful to get the most out of this book.

Informazioni sugli autori

Mario Casciaro is a software engineer and entrepreneur. Since he was a child he's been in love with building things, from Lego spaceships to programs written on his Commodore64, his first computer. When in college, he used to work more on side projects than on assignments and he published his first open source project on SourceForge back in 2006, it was around 30k lines of C++ code. After graduating with a Master's degree in Software Engineering, Mario worked at IBM for a number of years, first in Rome, then in the Dublin Software Lab. He currently splits his time between Var7 Technologies - its own software company - and its role as Lead Engineer at D4H Technologies where he creates software for emergency response teams. He is a big supporter of pragmatism and simplicity.

Luciano Mammino was born in 1987, the same year Super Mario Bros was released in Europe, which, by chance is his favorite game. He started coding at the age of 12, hacking away with his father's old i386 armed only with MS-DOS and the QBasic interpreter. Since then he has been professionally a software developer for more than 10 years. Luciano is currently wearing the hat of Principal Software Engineer at FabFitFun in Dublin where he is building microservices and scaling applications for millions of users. Luciano loves the Cloud, fullstack web development, Node.js & Serverless. Among other things, Luciano runs Fullstack Bulletin, a weekly newsletter for ambitious fullstack developers and Serverlesslab, bespoke training courses to foster Serverless adoption.
