For most .NET programmers, Node.js represents a radically different way to build scalable, high-traffic web sites and applications. Now, there's a practical, straight-to-the-point introduction to Node.js specifically for experienced Microsoft developers. Drawing on his immense experience with both Microsoft and JavaScript technologies, David Gaynes guides you through the entire Node.js website development process, from start to finish. Using Visual Studio examples, Gaynes covers everything from setting up servers and authorization through delivering rich CSS pages packed with graphics and data-driven content.
Gaynes begins by showing you how to quickly set up Node.js and each of these complementary tools: Express (Ease of Use); Body-Parser (Form values); EJS (Views); CodeMon (Code Changes / Run Updates); Bower (UI); Bootstrap (styling), Passport (Auth); Memory-Cache (persistence); and databases (MSSQL and MySQL). Next, using clear examples, he explains Node.js's async model, coding approach, and request/response paradigm; site structure, data management, security, and more. He concludes with a full chapter of solutions to common errors Microsoft developers make when they first adopt Node.js.
Node.js for .NET Developers will help you apply all hard-won .NET skills to Node.js -- building web solutions that are more responsive, perform better, and cost less.
