Overview of this book

<p>With its event-driven architecture and efficient web services capabilities, more and more companies are building their entire infrastructure around Node.js. Node has become a de facto part of web development that any serious developer needs to master.</p> <p>This book includes six Node.js projects that gradually increase in complexity. You'll start by building a simple web server and create a basic website. You will then move to create the login system, blog system, chat system, and e-learning system.</p> <p>By creating and following the example projects in this book, you’ll improve your Node.js skills through practical working projects, and you'll learn how to use Node.js with many other useful technologies, such as ExpressJS, Kickstart, and Heroku.</p>

Summary


In the first chapter, we started with installing Node.js and the Git Bash tool. We also learned the basic HTTP server along with an introduction to NPM. We then moved to understand serving the HTML pages followed by designing a basic website.

In the next chapter, we'll actually be using Express, which is a framework and it makes it so easy that we don't have to repeat ourselves like this. I still have a project, but I didn't save it, so we won't have to include the navbar and all that stuff; we'll be able to create routes and do a bunch of other stuff really. We'll get into stuff that's a little more advanced; this project was basically just to introduce you to Node.js.
