Overview of this book

Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment that allows you to use JavaScript to develop server-side web applications. This short guide will help you develop applications using JavaScript and Node.js, leverage your existing programming skills from .NET or Java, and make the most of these other platforms through understanding the Node.js programming model. You will learn how to build web applications and APIs in Node, discover packages in the Node.js ecosystem, test and deploy your Node.js code, and more. Finally, you will discover how to integrate Node.js and .NET code.

Summary

In this chapter, we have deployed an application to the web using Heroku, configured environment settings and provisioned databases, set up Travis CI to automatically deploy successful builds, and learned about further options and considerations for deploying Node.js applications.

Now that our application is available online, we can start thinking about how to integrate it with the wider Web. In the next chapter, we'll look at allowing users to log in using third party social media services as an identity provider.
