By Eric T. Cotner

Want to build real web applications with JavaScript instead of stopping at the basics?

Node.js for Developers gives you a practical path to building modern server-side applications with Node.js. Whether you're new to backend development or already comfortable with JavaScript, this book helps you develop the skills needed to create reliable web servers, REST APIs, and production-ready applications.

At its core, this book focuses on turning JavaScript knowledge into practical backend development skills. You'll learn how Node.js works, how applications handle requests and data, and how to structure projects that can grow beyond simple experiments.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

Set up Node.js projects and understand the runtime environmentBuild web servers and handle HTTP requests and responsesDesign and develop REST APIs with practical JavaScript techniquesWork with routing, middleware, asynchronous programming, and error handlingManage application data and connect backend services to databasesHandle authentication, validation, and essential API security practicesOrganize Node.js applications using maintainable project structuresTest, debug, and troubleshoot backend applications effectivelyPrepare applications for production with configuration, logging, and deployment practicesBuild practical server-side features that reflect real-world development workflows

By the end of the book, you'll have a stronger understanding of Node.js development, backend JavaScript, REST API development, web servers, asynchronous programming, and production application practices. You'll be better prepared to create backend systems that are organized, reliable, and ready to support modern applications.
