Book Description

Node.js is a server-side JavaScript framework that uses an event-driven and non-blocking I/O model, allowing users to build fast and scalable data-intensive applications.

The book starts with an introduction to HTTP server and client objects to help you build functional real-time applications. You’ll then understand how you can integrate Socket.io for effective communication between objects. As you advance, you’ll even be able to implement data storage in your application using SQL and MongoDB. With the help of practical examples, you’ll cover a variety of such as adding themes using Bootstrap and deploying your microservices with Docker. Once you’ve built and deployed your applications, you’ll learn how to add authentication against third-party services using OAuth to enable security for your Express applications.
