Node.js has taken the world by a storm by simplifying Web application development thorough the use of readily available and pluggable modules, thus, reducing the overall development time. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, you can learn to design and develop attractive and efficient Web applications using Node.js.This book intends to familiarize the reader with the basic and advanced concepts of Node.js. The book begins with an introduction to the features and tools of Node.js and proceeds to explain the use of different modules in Node.js. It explains the concepts in a detailed but simple format along with codes and detailed steps of demonstrations. You will learn to implement different modules and manipulate databases with Node.js.
