A practical introduction to Node.js, an exciting server-side JavaScript web development stack
Overview
- Learn about server-side JavaScript with Node.js and Node modules.
- Website development both with and without the Connect/Express web application framework.
- Developing both HTTP server and client applications.
In Detail
Node.js is a JavaScript platform using an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model allowing users to build fast and scalable data-intensive applications that run in real time.
This book gives you an excellent starting point and goes straight to the heart of developing web applications with Node.js. You will go from a rudimentary knowledge of JavaScript or server-side application development to being able to create and maintain your own Node.js application.
Node Web Development shows that JavaScript is not just for browsers anymore. It can be used for web application development, for developing any Internet protocol, for real-time applications, and much more. With this book you will learn through practical examples how to use the HTTP Server and client objects as well as both SQL and MongoDB databases. The book explains how application algorithms are expected to cooperate correctly with the event loop, and gives advice on algorithm refactoring for asynchronous execution through the event loop.
What you will learn from this book
- Discover the role of server-side JavaScript in web application development
- Explore architecture choices in Node.js for performance and throughput
- Install and use Node.js for both development and deployment
- Use the Connect and Express application frameworks
- Deploy both SQL and MongoDB database systems
Approach
Presented in a simple, step-by-step format, this book is an introduction to web development with Node.
Who this book is written for
This book is for anybody looking for an alternative to the P languages (Perl, PHP, Python), or anyone looking for a new paradigm of server-side application development. The reader should have at least a rudimentary understanding of JavaScript and web application development.

David Herron has worked as a software engineer and software quality engineer in Silicon Valley for over 20 years. Recently he worked for Yahoo! as an architect of the Quality Engineering team for their new Node.js based web app platform (Manhattan and Mojito).
While a staff engineer at Sun Microsystems, David worked as an architect of the Java SE Quality Engineering team where he focused on test automation tools, including the AWT Robot class that's now widely used in GUI test automation software. He was involved with launching the OpenJDK project, and other open source activities related to Java.
Before Sun he worked for VXtreme on the video streaming stack which eventually became Windows Media Player when Microsoft bought that company. At The Wollongong Group he worked on both the e-mail client and server software and was part of several IETF working groups improving e-mail-related protocols.
David is interested in electric vehicles, world energy supplies, climate change, and environmental issues, and is a co-founder of Transition Silicon Valley . As an online journalist, he writes about electric cars and other green technology for PlugInCars.com, TorqueNews.com, Examiner.com, LongTailPipe.com, and ElectricRaceNews.com. He runs a large electric vehicle discussion website on VisForVoltage.org, and blogs about other topics including Node.js, Drupal, and Doctor Who on DavidHerron.com. Using Node.js, he has developed a Content Management System called AkashaCMS (akashacms.com) that produces static HTML websites.
I wish to thank my mother, Evelyn, for, well everything; my father, Jim; my sister, Patti; and my brother, Ken. What would life be without all of you?
I wish to thank my girlfriend, Maggie, for being there and encouraging me, her belief in me, her wisdom and humor, and kicks in the butt when needed. May we have many more years of this.
I wish to thank Dr. Ken Kubota of the University of Kentucky, for believing in me, and giving me my first job in computing. It was six years of learning, not just the art of computer system maintenance, but so much more.
I wish to thank my former employers, University of Kentucky Mathematical Sciences Department, The Wollongong Group, MainSoft, VXtreme, Sun Microsystems, and Yahoo!, and all the people I worked with in each company.
I am grateful to Ryan Dahl, Isaac Schlueter, and the other Node core team members for having the wisdom and vision needed to create such a joy-filled and fluid software development platform. Some platforms are just plain hard to work with, but not this one, and that takes vision to implement it so well.
Ollie Bennett is a technical consultant based in London, with a passion for playing with the latest technologies. After completing a master's degree in Theoretical Physics, he focused his attention on web development, and maintains a portfolio of websites. Node.js and other recent JavaScript advancements are forming an ever increasing part of his interests.
He can be found at http://olliebennett.co.uk/.
Nathan Zondlo is a graduating senior from Lock Haven University. He has a strong interest in web development using the JavaScript full stack. He has built various websites using the HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript trifecta, but is currently spending all his free time researching JavaScript and contributing to various online communities.
I would love to thank Packt Publishing, namely Sruthi Kutty and Abhishek Kori, for reaching out to me through LinkedIn's Node.js group and asking me to take part in the review process. Troubleshooting and building the applications in the book has been a lot of fun, and I'm very happy to be included in the process.

Welcome to the world of developing web software with Node (also known as Node.js). Node is an up-and-coming software platform that liberates JavaScript from the web browser, enabling it to be used as a general software development platform in server-side applications. It runs atop the ultra-fast JavaScript engine from the Chrome browser, V8, and adds in a fast and robust library of asynchronous network I/O modules. The primary focus of Node is on building high performance, highly scalable, server and client applications for the "real-time Web".
