Hello Everyone I was looking for a good practical book about Node about 10 months ago, but I couldn't really find anything beyond the highly theoretical and everything I looked at seemed to have negative reviews. So I thought I'd do the research and write the book I wanted.
So without further ado, I give you Node Cookbook, it's been published by Packt[1], and is available on Amazon[2], Safari Books Online[3] and other places (but getting it direct from Packt would save you money). I've tried to include recipes from beginner to advanced, Chapter 1 starts with a recipe not dissimilar to the standard hello world recipe then takes you through to recipes that show how to secure your static file server etc. There's loads of stuff covered, like WebSockets, Jade/Stylus/Express, Redis/MongoDB/CouchDb/MySQL, SMTP, sending SMS text messages. Here's the TOC: Chapter 1: Making a Web Server Chapter 2: Exploring the HTTP Object Chapter 3: Working with Data Serialization Chapter 4: Interfacing with Databases Chapter 5: Transcending AJAX: Using WebSockets Chapter 6: Accelerating Development with Express Chapter 7: Implementing Security, Encryption, and Authentication Chapter 8: Integrating Network Paradigms Chapter 9: Writing Your Own Node Modules Chapter 10: Taking It Live This group has been an invaluable source of information, and also in identifying what would be useful for people so I just want to say a big thank you to everyone on this group for all the questions and answers and willingness to help. You guys are beautiful, Best regards, Dave -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
