Node: Up and Running: Scalable Server-Side Code with JavaScript

Book Description

This book introduces you to Node, the new web development framework written in JavaScript. You’ll learn hands-on how Node makes life easier for experienced JavaScript developers: not only can you work on the front end and back end in the same language, you’ll also have more flexibility in choosing how to divide application logic between client and server.

Written by a core contributor to the framework, Node: Up and Running shows you how Node scales up to support large numbers of simultaneous connections across multiple servers, and scales down to let you create quick one-off applications with minimal infrastructure. Built on the V8 JavaScript engine that runs Google Chrome, Node is already winning the hearts and minds of many companies, including Google and Yahoo! This book shows you why.

• Understand Node’s event-loop architecture, non-blocking I/O, and event-driven programming
• Discover how Node supports a variety of database and data storage tools
• Learn best practices for writing easy-to-maintain code for Node
• Get concrete examples of how to use the various Node APIs in practice
• Take advantage of the book’s complete API reference

书名：节点：启动并运行：使用JavaScript的可伸缩服务器端代码

这本书向您介绍了Node，这是一个用JavaScript编写的新的Web开发框架。您将亲身体验Node如何使有经验的Java开发人员的工作变得更轻松：您不仅可以使用相同的语言在前端和后端工作，而且在选择如何在客户端和服务器之间划分应用程序逻辑方面也有更大的灵活性。

由框架的核心贡献者编写， 节点：启动并运行 向您展示了Node如何向上扩展以支持跨多个服务器的大量同时连接，以及如何向下扩展以使您能够以最少的基础设施创建快速的一次性应用程序。Node构建在运行Google Chrome的V8 JavaScript引擎上，已经赢得了许多公司的心，包括谷歌和雅虎！这本书告诉你为什么。
