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.
