Who this book is for

Server-side engineers may find JavaScript to be an excellent alternative programming language. Thanks to advances in the language, JavaScript long ago stopped being a simplistic toy language suitable only for animating buttons in browsers. We can now build large systems with the language, and Node.js has many built-in features, such as a top-notch module system, that help in larger projects.

Developers experienced with browser-side JavaScript may find it attractive to broaden their horizons to include server-side development using this book.
