Solid NodeJS book that teaches you how to use NodeJS strong points.

Part 1 is definitely a must-read and really well explains NodeJs buffers and streams. No bullshit, only quality stuff. Probably my most favourite NodeJS book part/section I've read.

I really like the "problem, discussion, solution" approach of the book.
It makes reading and understanding the contents much better.

Part 2 is the standard nodejs webapp bullshit that you can skip.

Part 3 is relatively short - only one chapter on writing node modules, but it covers interesting topics such as benchmarking, sem versioning (finally people will learn how to use/understand it).


I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn how to properly utilize Node's strong points.

I recommend this book specially first 4 chapters which are principles of Node, However, the book is a bit outdated and need to be updated.

This is a solid, in depth book on using node.

JavaScript was always confusing so books focused on trying to explain it. This is one of the few that shows it in action.
