Express is a minimal and flexible node.js web application framework, providing a robust set of features for building single and multi-page, and hybrid web applications. It provides a thin layer of features fundamental to any web application, without obscuring features that developers know and love in node.js. "Express Web Application Development" is a comprehensive guide for those looking to learn how to use the Express web framework for web application development. Starting with the initial setup of the Express web framework, "Express Web Application Development" helps you to understand the fundamentals of the framework. By the end of "Express Web Application Development", you will have acquired enough knowledge and skills to create production-ready Express apps.

Das Buch habe ich gewählt wegen des Themenbereiches Echtzeit und weil es die Erklärung einer neueren Software-Technologie (node.js) verspricht, inklusive dessen Installation. Ich bewerte das Buch uneingeschränkt positiv wegen der guten, ausführlichen Erklärungen ohne überflüssigen Ballast. Positiv ferner: Den Quellcode kann man sich per E-Mail zuschicken lassen. Die dargestellten Beispiele laufen sofort. Vorkenntnisse in einer Programmiersprache, am besten JavaScript, sollten beim Leser vorhanden sein.

I have learned node.js and express on my own in building web and mobile apps. While it's ok to pick up different pieces of info from different websites and forums about node and express, it is much better to start with a beginner book like this one.Upon reading the book, I rounded out my knowledge with the author's clear technical explanations. It is a much welcome review of the important concepts. I would have had a much easier time if I were to learn from scratch with this book.High recommended for beginners trying to pick up node.js and express, and for people with practical experience but need a refresher.Much like express which is a concise framework doing the core things right, this book succinctly explains the core concepts to help developers get started. The clean explanations are also accompanied with working code samples.

I really have to admit the writer has a talent for writing technical books. I didn't find any resource or book that covers express.js in a lot of detail and explaining in interesting way.

If you are looking for a good Express.js book, this is the one you should read. Certainly this book teaches me Express.js, from basic to advanced techniques. It has clear technical explanations. I like this book a lot because the author actually walks you through actual processes by teaching you what you should, should not do, how to organize all your projects, how to use configurations in your app. This is very important because after a certain level of complexity in your app, you will need to organize your routes.The last three chapters are the best, it actually shows you how to make your app production-ready such as how to benchmark your app using siege command, how to make your app scale and performance well using cluster module, how to ensure maximum uptime for the app, and how to handle critical events.I also recently found out that the author has a forum at [...] so you can post your questions. I did posted some questions and was able to get answers quickly

It is a great book to read for anyone willing to get to know hot to create an express app. It is perfectly suited to developers with no prior knowledge on Node.js because is very explanatory and is moving forward step-by-step, helping the reader to follow at all steps. It enlightens the reader for some basic aspects of how to use Node.js, and at the same time guides the less-experienced developers on adding commonly used functionality for web apps. What i liked most on this book was the last chapter which goes through some much-needed modules and techniques that are almost mandatory for every Node.js app.

Express Web Application Development: Here's a comprehensive guide to making the most of Express's flexibility in building web applications. With lots of screenshots and examples, it's the perfect step-by-step manual for those with an intermediate knowledge of JavaScript.
