Build an interactive and full-featured web application from scratch using Node.js and MongoDB

About This Book

  • Configure your development environment to use Node.js and MongoDB
  • Use Node.js to connect to a MongoDB database and perform data manipulations
  • A practical guide with clear instructions to design and develop a complete web application from start to finish

Who This Book Is For

This book is designed for JavaScript developers of any skill level that want to get up and running using Node.js and MongoDB to build full-featured web applications. A basic understanding of JavaScript and HTML is the only requirement for this book.

What You Will Learn

  • Configure your development environment to use Node.js and MongoDB
  • Write and configure a web server using Node.js powered by the Express.js framework
  • Build dynamic HTML pages using the Handlebars template engine
  • Persist application data using MongoDB and Mongoose ODM
  • Test your code using automated testing tools such as the Mocha framework
  • Deploy the development environment to the cloud using services such as Heroku, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure
  • Explore Single-Page application frameworks to take your web applications to the next level

In Detail

Node.js and MongoDB are quickly becoming one of the most popular tech stacks for the web. Powered by Google's V8 engine, Node.js caters to easily building fast, scalable network applications while MongoDB is the perfect fit as a scalable, high-performance, open source NoSQL database solution. Using these two technologies together, web applications can be built quickly and easily and deployed to the cloud with very little difficulty.

The book will begin by introducing you to the groundwork needed to set up the development environment. Here, you will quickly run through the steps necessary to get the main application server up and running. Then you will see how to use Node.js to connect to a MongoDB database and perform data manipulations.

From here on, the book will take you through integration with third-party tools for interaction with web apps. It then moves on to show you how to use controllers and view models to generate reusable code that will reduce development time. Toward the end of the book, we will cover tests to properly execute the code and some popular frameworks for developing web applications.

By the end of the book, you will have a running web application developed with MongoDB and Node.js along with it's popular frameworks.

Style and approach

An easy guide to Node.js and MongoDB, which will quickly introduce you to the relevant concepts by taking you through the different steps involved in building a full-fledged web application.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best reference book for Node.js and related technologies
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2015
As a reviewer of this book, I can say that this book is complete reference for the people who want to cover all the stuffs about Node.js and related technologies. After basic start with Javascript basics, all the basic terms like Non Blocking I/O are covered in a simple way supported with examples. At the end of this book, you will be able to create web applications with Express.js and MongoDB, design RESTful services, write unit and integration test to build high quality applications. One of the difficult thing about using Node.js is choosing frameworks for creating web applications, but you are lucky. There is also fancy comparison section about commonly used frameworks in this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Errors in book render it very confusing. Update: it gets clearer

Update 12/20/15: Note that while I stand by my original notes (below), the second half of chapter 4 cleared some things up. I've updated my rating from 2 to 3 stars. If the rest of the book continues without more typos and sections in the wrong order, I'd up my rating again to 4 stars. I also submitted several of the typos I noticed, and got a notice from the publisher that the authors had accepted those corrections. I don't know if those corrections will make it into THIS edition, or if they'll only affect a next edition the authors might publish. Hopefully the former! So, if you download this book and bog down some in chapter 4, just try pushing through and keep going, and things may clear up for you some.

This book was frustrating to use. The book's approach seems to be to rush the reader through the creation of an app, and only partially explain things along the way. I imagine that they may explain some of the mysteries later in the textbook, and that they want to rush you along to give you the satisfaction of having created something that works.

However, I've found a number of typos and errors. That's a problem, because the reader is likely new to Node/MongoDB, since it's an introductory textbook. When the book instructs you to run the app so far and something goes wrong because of one of those errors, it's hard for the reader to know how to solve the problem, because the book hasn't explained how everything in the app actually works.

In Chapter 4, for example, the book helps us create a very simple 'server.js' file, and run that file. So far, so good. The book does a decent job of explaining that file so far, what's in it, and why. Then the next section adds a 'configure.js' module, and this is where the problems start. The book says that the app should still run smoothly after updating the 'server' file and adding the 'configure' file. But the 'configure' code listed in the book has two semi-obvious syntactical typos. Even after correcting those, the app doesn't run correctly, because the 'configure' module is requiring a third module, './routes', which the book hasn't given us instructions for creating yet.

The book gives the impression of not having been very well reviewed/edited. I'm nearly ready to give up on it. Maybe it will get clearer after chapter 4, and the outside reading I'll need to do to understand any poorly-structured parts will probably be good for me anyway. But I really can't recommend this book.

I am a JavaScript developer learning Node & Express. i found this book very helpful. The author explains each step throughout the entire process of building an app which is very helpful. The book covers most areas of Express and Node and some advance topics. For me it was a good buy.
