Node.js is white hot, powering the server side of major web apps from
Walmart, PayPal, and Netflix. While super-powerful, raw Node can be
complex and awkward. Express.js is a web application framework for Node
that organizes server-side JavaScript into testable, maintainable
modules. It provides a powerful set of features to efficiently manage
routes, requests, and views, along with beautiful boilerplate for web
applications. Lightweight, fast, and unobtrusive, Express helps harness
Node’s raw power so developers can concentrate on what the application
does instead of managing the nit-picky technical details.
Express in Action is a carefully designed tutorial that teaches
developers how to build web applications using Node and Express. It
starts by introducing Node’s unique characteristics and then shows how
they map to the features of Express. With a clear vision of how an
Express application looks, readers can systematically explore key
development techniques, meet the rich ecosystem of companion tools and
libraries, and even get a glimpse into its inner workings. After just a
few chapters, they’ll be able to build a simple Node app. By the end of
the book, they’ll know how to test it, hook it up to a database, and
even automate the dev process.
