Node.js for Modern Web Development (Paperback)

Paperback. Node.js for Modern Web Development: Create Scalable Applications is your ultimate guide to mastering Node.js and building high-performance server-side applications. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this comprehensive guide will help you understand the power of Node.js and how to leverage it to create scalable, fast, and reliable web applications.Node.js has become one of the most popular tools for building modern web applications due to its non-blocking, event-driven architecture that enables developers to handle a large number of simultaneous connections with ease. This book will take you through the fundamentals of Node.js, its core modules, and how to integrate it with other technologies to build real-time, scalable web applications.What you'll learn in Node.js for Modern Web Development: Introduction to Node.js: Understand what Node.js is, how it works, and why it's well-suited for modern web development. Learn about the key features of Node.js, such as its asynchronous event-driven architecture, and explore how it differs from traditional server-side programming.Setting Up Node.js Development Environment: Learn how to install and configure Node.js on your local machine, and set up the tools and libraries you'll need for development. Understand the role of npm (Node Package Manager) and how to use it to install and manage dependencies.Node.js Core Modules: Dive into the core modules that make Node.js so powerful, such as the HTTP, File System (fs), and Path modules. Learn how to work with these modules to handle requests, manage files, and interact with the server's environment.Building Web Servers with Node.js: Learn how to build simple web servers using Node.js and the HTTP module. Discover how to handle routing, manage HTTP requests, and generate responses dynamically, creating the foundation of your server-side application.Working with Databases in Node.js: Learn how to integrate databases into your Node.js applications. Explore how to connect to both SQL and NoSQL databases (such as MongoDB) and perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using popular libraries like Mongoose and Sequelize.Building APIs with Node.js: Master the process of building RESTful APIs in Node.js. Learn how to define routes, handle different HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), and structure your API to be clean, efficient, and easy to scale.Authentication and Security in Node.js: Understand how to secure your Node.js applications by implementing authentication and authorization. Learn how to use Passport.js for handling user login and registration, and how to protect routes with JWT (JSON Web Tokens) and session management.Real-Time Web Applications with Socket.io: Learn how to build real-time applications using Socket.io. Discover how to implement real-time communication features such as live chat, notifications, and collaborative editing in your web applications.Testing Node.js Applications: Learn how to write effective unit and integration tests for your Node.js applications. Understand how to use testing frameworks like Mocha and Chai to ensure that your code is robust, reliable, and bug-free.Deploying Node.js Applications: Learn how to deploy your Node.js applications to production environments.By the end of Node.js for Modern Web Development, you will have the knowledge and skills to build powerful, scalable server-side applications using Node.js. Whether you're building APIs, real-time applications, or full-stack web apps, this book will help you create applications that are fast, efficient, and easy to Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. …
