Once you're warmed up, we'll move on to more complex projects such as a consumer feedback app, a real-time chat app, and a blog using Node.js with frameworks such as loopback.io and socket.io. Finally, we'll explore front-end build processes, Docker, and continuous delivery.
By the end of book, you will be comfortable working with Node.js applications and will know the best tools and frameworks to build highly scalable desktop and cloud applications.
This is an easy-to-follow guide full of practical examples. This book takes a project-based approach and each chapter contains step-by-step instructions to create stunning applications across different application domains from scratch.
