Node.js Design Patterns – Second Edition: Master best practices to build modular and scalable server-side web applications
Get the best out of Node.js by mastering its most powerful components and patterns to create modular and scalable applications with ease
About This Book
Create reusable patterns and modules by leveraging the new features of Node.js .Understand the asynchronous single thread design of node and grasp all its features and patterns to take advantage of various functions.This unique guide will help you get the most out of Node.js and its ecosystem.
Who This Book Is For
The book is meant for developers and software architects with a basic working knowledge of JavaScript who are interested in acquiring a deeper understanding of how to design and develop enterprise-level Node.js applications.
Basic knowledge of Node.js is also helpful to get the most out of this book.
What You Will Learn
Design and implement a series of server-side JavaScript patterns so you understand why and when to apply them in different use case scenariosBecome comfortable with writing asynchronous code by leveraging constructs such as callbacks, promises, generators and the async-await syntaxIdentify the most important concerns and apply unique tricks to achieve higher scalability and modularity in your Node.js applicationUntangle your modules by organizing and connecting them coherentlyReuse well-known techniques to solve common design and coding issuesExplore the latest trends in Universal JavaScript, learn how to write code that runs on both Node.js and the browser and leverage React and its ecosystem to implement universal applications
In Detail
Node.js is a massively popular software platform that lets you use JavaScript to easily create scalable server-side applications. It allows you to create efficient code, enabling a more sustainable way of writing software made of only one language across the full stack, along with extreme levels of reusability, pragmatism, simplicity, and collaboration. Node.js is revolutionizing the web and the way people and companies create their software.
In this book, we will take you on a journey across various ideas and components, and the challenges you would commonly encounter while designing and developing software using the Node.js platform. You will also discover the “Node.js way” of dealing with design and coding decisions.
The book kicks off by exploring the basics of Node.js describing it’s asynchronous single-threaded architecture and the main design patterns. It then shows you how to master the asynchronous control flow patterns,and the stream component and it culminates into a detailed list of Node.js implementations of the most common design patterns as well as some specific design patterns that are exclusive to the Node.js world.Lastly, it dives into more advanced concepts such as Universal Javascript, and scalability’ and it’s meant to conclude the journey by giving the reader all the necessary concepts to be able to build an enterprise grade application using Node.js.
Style and approach
This book takes its intended readers through a comprehensive explanation to create a scalable and efficient real-time server-side apps.

Very encompassing, not as design patterns specific as I thought it would be If you buy this book because you are seeking some design patterns, this book has that, but it doesn’t treat it as the primary topic throughout the book and it seems to only remember to discuss it a little bit in each chapter or two. Rather, this book encompasses more than just Node.js design patterns and covers topics involving callbacks, Promises, generators, isomorphic JavaScript, React, modules, ECMAScript 2015, streams, architecture, and much more. All of the topics are important, no doubt, but should all of those topics go into a book that uses “Design Patterns” as its title? I think not, and so I took away a star. Either re-word the title of the book or remove the chapters that are more along the lines of general topics in Node.js / JavaScript and perhaps place those in their own book. Don’t get me wrong. I read all chapters of the book and from each chapter, I learned something, so I don’t consider the book to be uninformative. However, I think that the title of a…
Great content, but minor editing needed I just finished reading through this book. It feels like it doesn’t take full advantage of the ES6 as it could, but nonetheless it was still an effective and enjoyable read. The patterns described are detailed in a thorough, intuitive manner which makes it easy for the reader to retain and understand.The only minor gripe I have about this book is the lack of editing. There are a handful of grammar, spelling, and code syntax mistakes that although not difficult to mentally correct, do take you out of “the flow.” Hopefully the publisher gets enough errata submissions to publish a more polished version.That being said, it is definitely not a reason to skip this book. If you are a Node developer, the information and ideas presented in this book are invaluable. Give it a go!
Thank you, Mr. Casciaro, for writing a great book In the day and age when most technology books seem to be written in a month by compiling information freely available on the web, it is refreshing to find a book that was written by someone who clearly not only knows what he’s talking about extremely well, but also knows how to present the material in a coherent way.I am not going to describe the content of the book, as you can easily get that from a TOC, but I will say this:1. If you are an experienced developer that is new to Node.js and need to get up to speed quickly, read this book2. If you are interested in asynchronous programming patterns and practices, read this book3. If you are writing a JavaScript library that needs to work both in Node and in the browser, read this book4. If you are interested in messaging and integration patterns, read this book5. If you simply want to read an awesome technical book for a change, read this bookThe bottom line — if you are doing…
