Master the Node.js environment!
What used to sound unimaginable is possible with Node.js: a single language for client-side and server-side programming. Today, you can use JavaScript for frontend and backend development. This allows you to develop high-performance, scalable, and real-time web applications quickly and easily. No wonder Node.js is becoming more and more popular.
This comprehensive guide is the perfect place to start if you want to master Node.js, one of the most important players in the JavaScript universe. You’ll learn the basics of Node.js, see how the platform is built, and work with various interfaces.
With Sebastian Springer, you have an experienced author at your side who shares his enthusiasm about professional JavaScript development. Using many real-life examples, he shows you how to use Node.js securely, right from the start.
