It helped a lot to understand all this new world for me. Easy to follow and easy to get it.

Great introductory book for those with no knowledge of node. Manuel does a great job of not only covering node concepts, but the context in which they exist, giving practical explanations to event-based async calls and why it's relevant, never going to deep but giving a solid understanding. He also covers some JavaScript basics for those not coming from a JS background, which is helpful for someone with backend experience in another language/framework.

I needed to come up to speed quickly on this platform. This book and its predecessor were both concise and rich with practical pointers. If you need to know NodeJS, this is the place to start, but it'll also carry you well along the way.

At first I was a bit put off by what seemed like a slow pace in the instructional approach, however the examples provided are well explained and work as very good building blocks to the more advanced concepts. I'm an experienced JS programmer by trade but I learned to appreciate very well the special, asynchronous "zen" of Node application fundamentals with this instruction. Good stuff.

Very good sequel but where is the errata? A lot of the examples this is pinned to are no longer in npm. bower is deprecated so hope yarn etc. is updated in errata.
