Who this book is for

This book is for .NET or Java developers who are interested in learning Node.js. No prior experience with Node.js is expected. You might have written some client-side JavaScript before, but this is not required. The main worked example in this book is a Node.js web application. Web development experience in .NET or Java will be helpful, but it's not necessary to have experience with any particular application library or framework.
