Yeah, it is relatively short, but that is a strength. Long books with vast tracts of code can get very boring very quickly. This book does not, and keeps the learning pace up well. Most of the examples are short enough that you can (and should) type them in yourself and try running them - it helps cement the concepts being taught.Yeah, there are a couple of typos and mistakes that somehow got through proof reading (passing null as the first param into Array.prototype.slice?) but they're quite easy to spot and fix if you have some existing of JavaScript (which you should), and they will no doubt be fixed in the next edition of the book which is on the way soon:[...]Also note that this book often makes the assumption that you will be running on the Linux commandline, not Windows. Quite a few things will need changing a bit to get to work on Windows, especially the IPC stuff (Windows simply doesn't support ipc:// URLs, you just have to use TCP instead and it works fine). Again, not a major drawback in my opinion.The book is the best I've seen for getting the balance right between teaching just the right concepts (starting out by explaining the single-threaded nature of Node.js, for example, is a CRUCIAL thing to do and this book does it) and overexplaining things to the point of being boring.In short: I highly recommend this book. Buy it and you probably won't need to buy anything else to learn Node.js. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars What a fantastic little book *by M***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2017* Node.js the Right Way is a fantastic little book. It’s a small book (but then it’s Pragmatic exPress) and it doesn’t go into anything in much detail, but then that’s what makes it fantastic. It gives a useful and practical overview of writing Node.js server side applications and explains many of the tools and JavaScript patterns which will be useful to Node.js programmers.It starts off with examples of manipulating the local file system using Node.js. This struck me a little odd as the only thing I tend to use the local file system for is reading configuration files. If I need to write a file I tend to put it in Amazon S3. However, this is genius and looking at how to manipulate the filesystem gives some useful insights into Node.js programming.The book then goes on to look at networking with sockets, something which is often neglected in a world where we expect everything to be RESTful. There’s then a tour through scalable messaging, including clustering, how to access databases and how to write web services, including JavaScript promises and generators!The final chapter covers writing a web application with a single page front end and authentication. This is the only place the book falls down. Too much is covered in two short a chapter. It’s still quite useful though.This is not a book for a novice JavaScript or even a novice Node.js developer, but for once a little knowledge is not a dangerous thing and Node.js the Right Way will help increase that knowledge. It even led me to believe JavaScript might actually be the future. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great for people who know programming but want to learn more about NODEJS *by A***W on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2016* Firstly, this is a great book but if you are a beginner in the world of programming I'd recommend a simpler book to start with. It's quite a short book but it's to the point and with real code examples which you can play with to deepen your understanding. As with many of these books you can either choose to do the practical then the theory after if you wish. It starts with a basic NODE example of using the file system then goes into the more complex features of Node.js such as creating authenticated API's. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/48434511-node-js-the-right-way-practical-server-side-javascript-that](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/48434511-node-js-the-right-way-practical-server-side-javascript-that) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
