Book Description
Using the same framework to build both server and client-side applications saves you time and money. This book teaches you how you can use JavaScript and Node.js to build highly scalable APIs that work well with lightweight cross-platform client applications. It begins with the basics of Node.js in the context of backend development,and quickly leads you through the creation of an example client that pairs up with a fully authenticated API implementation. By the end of the book,you’ll have the skills and exposure required to get hands-on with your own API development project.
