I recently got an opportunity to go through the second edition of the Node cookbook. This book is for JavaScript enthusiasts, engineers, and experts. This book vividly illustrates how to leverage your JavaScript skills to craft well-written server-side software applications. The book is stuffed and saturated with a number of easy-to-grasp examples with their source codes. All the tips, techniques, and technologies for implementing Node-inspired web and enterprise-scale applications are clearly explained by the author. This book is developed with the aim of lessening the workload of web application developers and moderating any kind of security risks. Beginning with making your own web server, the practical recipes in this cookbook are designed to smoothly help you progress to make full web applications, command-line applications, and Node modules. There are some critical additions in the second edition. With the surging popularity of big data analytics, NoSQL databases are gaining more market and mind shares these days. This book has separate chapters for describing in detail about web applications interfacing with various databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis. Additionally there are descriptions on working with web sockets, and interfacing with network protocols, such as SMTP. Additionally, there are recipes on handling streams of data, security implementations, writing your own Node modules, and different ways to take your apps live. The chapter 8 explains how to set up an SSL-secured web server, use the crypto module to create strong password hashes, and protect your users from cross-site request forgery attacks. The chapter 3 explains how to convert data from your apps into XML and JSON formats when sending to the browser or third-party APIs.In a nutshell, this book is a boon and handy guide for developers for bringing forth many kinds of specific as well as generic high-quality web applications using Node, which is emerging as the viable and venerable alternative to all the traditional web application development languages and frameworks.

This is an interesting book if you want develop applications in a javascript enviroment, NodeJS is right now a programming environment that is used increasingly in developing all types of web applications, and consists of executing javascript on the server side.The book is very well structured, talking about how to create a server, to how to create your own modules in node, through HTTP calls, data serialization, use of database, sockets at real-time communications, the express framework for web pages, and security settings on the server.It's especially suitable for senior profiles in javascript but with the amount of code snippets any developer could create their own applications with nodejs framework.Highly recommended, now I'll start developing my new website with nodejs, express and mongoDB with the help of the book!

The author set the bar high with his first edition of Node Cookbook, this second edition takes it one step further. With easy to follow examples, use cases and tips, this book manages to instruct and teach the basics and some high level node.js practices with ease. It even touches on the bleeding edge of development with express 4 just as it has been released. I would highly recommend this to anyone starting out in Node.js looking at building applications and scripts for the server.

David has updated his original writing of this book and the second edition is just as good, if not better than the first. He's updated the text and source code to use newer packages. In addition to these updates and an added recipe in a chapter or two, David has also added a new chapter covering Stream Processing with four new recipes.The book still stays at the 5 stars I gave the first edition, and I'm looking forward to reading anything else the authors puts out.

I had the chance of going through Node Cookbook. I was trying my hands on Node.js (with around 1 month of juggling with the paradims of Node.js). I found this book to be useful. It had ample examples for the topics covered and I liked the sections relating to Encryption and Socket.io. Helped me in my project. Overall its a good read.
