Currently,I have finished the first 2 chapters.I found several downsides of the book: 1. web editor the author recommended is unfamous and in minority, seldom developers might use enide studio.As a result,its degbugging functionality is not applied to me and RESTClientTool is suitable for me. my Suggestions: a.use common middle-level editors,say,sublime or brackets or atom or visual studio code. b.Also,the node debugging should involve node-inspector module or VSC debugging. c.use the Postman( a chrome plugin) to replace RESTClientTool of the Enide studio.
2.function or variable name convention is not good.It would be more favorable that test_add should be changed to testAdd which uses camelCase name convention.
3.It would be less confused to use modules.exports compared with exports.
step by step guide with a lot of code starting from scratch. I recommend it to those such as I who want to get started with REST app development in Node.JS having minimal Node knowledge.
AMAZING resource for API designers in Node.js. I found this book had everything I needed to get started and nothing more. This guide helped fully round me out as a full stack developer.
A lot of review for NodeJS developers and although it would age better if coding examples used ES6, it certainly isn't essential. This material is targeted more at a new NodeJS/Express developer and provides a nice (not excellent) tour of the technologies in use, terminologies and design patterns. It doesn't provide enough depth to be a great reference book, but should be more than sufficient for beginning (and a nice review for intermediate) NodeJS Web developers.
Not much cover the REST theory and codes are a little bit obsolete. But explains the API implementation detail. If u already know REST and want to know the basic implementation of API, should try it.
