Over 50 recipes to master the art of asynchronous server-side JavaScript using Node

Overview

Packed with practical recipes taking you from the basics to extending Node with your own modules
Create your own web server to see Nodes features in action
Work with JSON, XML, web sockets, and make the most of asynchronous programming

In Detail

The principles of asynchronous event-driven programming are perfect for today's web, where efficient real-time applications and scalability are at the forefront. Server-side JavaScript has been here since the 90's but Node got it right. With a thriving community and interest from Internet giants, it could be the PHP of tomorrow.

"Node Cookbook" shows you how to transfer your JavaScript skills to server side programming. With simple examples and supporting code, "Node Cookbook" talks you through various server side scenarios often saving you time, effort, and trouble by demonstrating best practices and showing you how to avoid security faux pas.

Beginning with making your own web server, the practical recipes in this cookbook are designed to smoothly progress you to making full web applications, command line applications, and Node modules. Node Cookbook takes you through interfacing with various database backends such as MySQL, MongoDB and Redis, working with web sockets, and interfacing with network protocols, such as SMTP. Additionally, there are recipes on correctly performing heavy computations, security implementations, writing, your own Node modules and different ways to take your apps live.

What you will learn from this book

Write and publish your own modules
Interface with various databases
Work with streams of data
Handle file uploads and POST data
Use the Express framework to accelerate the development of your applications
Learn about security, encryption, and authentication techniques

Approach

As part of Packt's cookbook series, this book is packed with practical recipes that will get you working efficiently with Node from the start. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of working with Node.

Who this book is written for

If you have some knowledge of JavaScript and want to build fast, efficient, scalable client-server solutions, then Node Cookbook is for you. Experienced users of Node will improve their skills although even if you have not worked with Node before, these practical recipes will make it easy to get started.

great for getting into Node

I haven't finished yet but so far all examples are good and easy to follow. Would recommend to anyone looking to use Node for the first time (you must be the type that learns by example). Also, an understanding of javascript is must.

I do have some background on JS. And my coworker suggested JS.node. JS.node is really fast way to handler server side JS. But this book is not the best if you want to study live cases.

Get going with Node

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2012

This book covers a lot of ready-to-serve recipes in a structured fashion. Starting out by creating a simple HTTP server to improving the same in a step by step manner, steadily introducing higher level modules that do the job well. The book discusses a lot of functionalities required in a modern web based app, be it CSS styling, database integration, sessional authentication to web sockets and email support etc with code snippets all along.

Although the number of libraries in npm repository is increasing day by day and a lot of competing implementations for the same functionality coexist, still author has done his best to handpick stable and popular libraries and discuss how to incorporate them with your web app.

The book tries to capture a wide spectrum of libraries, but it is a bit difficult to keep up with the lightening speed of development of the libraries and the node js itself. (Example Express is moving to version 3, node is moving to v 0.8.x).

I would personally like, CommonJS, game Development using Node JS to be discussed as well. There are other competing/similar web frameworks that can be discussed as well. A different approach (taken by MeteorJS) is worth mentioning as well. Debugging JavaScript is a subjective issue, but still as IDE/toolchain to debug JavaScript matures, a few approaches can be mentioned to assist developers in debugging.

Chapter 9 "Writing your own Node modules" covers important practices like Test Driven Development, reusing existing modules all the way to how we can publish our modules to npm repository.

Lastly, the book walks you through to deploy your app on IAAS (Amazon EC2) or PAAS (Nodejitsu) providers, which smoothens the process of bringing your code from localhost to the cloud.

Overall the book is a very well written resource to get you up and running with Node JS, providing you most of the things you need to quickly create a modern web application.

Good book,
but the examples are out of date. I.e. they don't work with the current (newer) version of node.
The example for download is not complete, and some of them can not be unpacked.

Positively surprised

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2012

Before starting the review, I must say that I have not read the book in depth. I have one week with it, but I feel that is enough time to write my opinion.

I would also like to ask forgiveness for my bad English, I hope that despite my mistakes you can understand this text.

In chapter 1 we have the most basic articles (or recipes): making a web server, simple routing, serving static files, caching, performance and a little about security. It's a good introduction for the rest of the book.

Chapter 2 goes far away with HTTP communications: managing POST data, file uploads and downloads (with resume), and using Node as an HTTP client. All focused on web development. Nice.

Chapter 3 is a good introduction before starting to talk about databases: JSON (and JSONP), XML and Ajax. This chapter finishes with a very interesting example about fetching trending tweets.

Chapter 4 deals with databases. It's a very complete chapter that shows the use of multiple databases: from the typical MySQL to the most modern MongoDB, CouchDB and Redis, explaining the differences between them.

After databases, chapter 5 talks about one of the most interesting HTML5 features: WebSockets. Starts by creating a WebSocket server with its corresponding client, to continue with socket.io, allowing WebSocket like experience to older browsers. The chapter ends with a widget example that provides a constantly update total of all users currently on site.

Chapter 6 is more than just an introduction to web development with Express. It begins by explaining how to start developing your application with Express (scaffolding, defining environments), and continue with more advanced tasks like dynamic routing, templating systems (Jade, EJS), CSS engines (Stylus, LESS), and session management. Finally, shows us a not so simple application with Express, jade, stylus and mongosking.

Chapter 7 discusses security. It's a very interesting chapter, because there aren't many serious articles online about Node's security and it is something vital before taking your application to production.

You can find recipes about implementing several types of authentication: basic, digest, password encryption (MD5, SHA1, and more), and setting up an HTTPS server (with core Node and Express). Also includes recipes for preventing some types of vulnerabilities: CSRF and XSS.

In chapter 8 we learn Node's capabilities beyond simply serving web pages: send emails (with and without attachments), send SMS and making automated phone calls (wow!), communication using TCP, making an SMTP server for sending and receive emails, and using virtual hosting for your apps (with and without Express).

Chapter 9 will be one of the favourites for those who don't know the JavaScript modular and prototypical patterns. Maybe they should start the book for this chapter. The first recipe creates a test-driven module API whith core Node and then does the same using the should.js third-party module. The following recipe creates a functional module from the previous tests, then refactor this module from functional to prototypical (perfect!). The next recipe shows us how to extend to other modules: first tests are created and then implements the functionality (TDD with Node... awesome). Also integrates our module with EventEmitter, very useful for your own modules. Finally, after creating the module, shows how to share it with everyone through npm. A very complete chapter, I like it.

Finally, chapter 10 deals with issues taking live your Node application, sice compress and upload to install and start the Node process. Again, a must read chapter with tons of unvaluable Linux commands.

My conclusion: I think it's not a book for beginners. It's true that sometimes talks about basic issues, but it's an excuse for quickly get into more complex issues. This is good for me, a developer with experience on some programming languages like C, Java, PHP and JavaScript, but for newbies I think you should first read a good JavaScript and general web development book.

There isn't a book with many pages, but each one contains much useful information for further research on your own. I have the impression that it's one of those books that require more than one reading.

David Mark Clements does not waste time with long introductions trying to make reading more enjoyable, he goes straight to the point and from page 1 you will be writing code and practicing with Node.

I liked it, I was surprised by the quantity and quality of code and I think it's a book that will go with me during a few months.
