Node.js the Right Way is a book on the magic of server-side Javascript using Node applications by Jim R. Wilson. Summary of the Book The Pragmatic Programmers do it again. This time, Jim Wilson introduces readers to Node.js, the JavaScript runtime built into Google Chrome for easily building fast, scalable network applications. He discusses how readers and programmers can use the Google V8 JavaScript engine to execute code. Focussing on 0.12.x, and the ZeroMQ library, this book explains how to use Node modules to fully utilize the power of Javascript. Readers will learn how to make small, fast and efficient networked applications to balance the load and use third party tools provided by the Node community. In one small dosage, Jim Wilson helps readers learn about Node’s development background, its core and architecture, as well as its community which is one of the friendliest and most innovative of all the communities out there. Learn how to use the latest ECMAScript Harmony features, EventEmitter and Stream, to make real programs that are efficient and small. About Jim Wilson Jim R.
