Research thats what brought me to hapi. Flexibility, maintainability, and scalability are core areas when choosing a framework. I was new to Node.js, and I thought any framework I chose would be a huge learning curve. hapi was a pleasant surprise, because it gets you up and running in no time. If youre new to JavaScript, worry not weve covered the ground well. This book is to make sure that you work from the ground up and have a solid foundation in hapi, and if youre familiar with JavaScript, you can always revisit the language and take a walk through advanced concepts like promises and others. We havent covered any concepts like introducing SSL , node inspector, CORS, and so on. These are independent topics, and various informative articles about these are found on the Internet. What weve focused on is building a story out of a framework, getting all the major corners secured, so that the eager developer is confident enough to explore more and has his fundamentals right.

Before you step into code and make apps, services, and/or your next big project, be sure of why you wish to learn coding. That might not seem the right fit for an introduction to a technical book, but to all my learners, the joy of coding can really be assessed if youre sure of why youre learning, and before you get caught in an industry where timelines can get the better of you, its only fair to yourself to keep the spark of research alive.

I am indebted to my parents for the kind of support Ive received all my life. Its a privilege to be supported by members of the family when youre busy working on your dreams.

This is in loving memory of my mother, who wanted me to live my dreams, all my life. Ive also had the privilege to work with some of the best in the industry, whose collaboration and inspiration laid the road ahead for my learning. This book, and hopefully many more to come, is because of the best in business Apress, and their wonderful team including, but not limited to, James, Nancy, Louise, and Alexander. Their patience, guidance, and step-by-step feedback for the narrative and technical assessment were invaluable.
