Node.js Projects: Building Real-World Web Applications and Backend APIs - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Whether you're a JavaScript beginner ready to build your first backend app or a self-taught developer looking to grow beyond tutorials, Node.js Projects gives you the hands-on experience you need. Through a series of self-contained projects ranging from CSV generators and content aggregators to secure password managers, web scrapers, and an AI-powered learning assistant, you'll apply modern tools like Fastify, MongoDB, Redis, JWT, and Google's Gemini API in practical, job-relevant ways.

With each chapter, author Jon Wexler challenges you to think like an engineer, emphasizing architectural thinking, clean coding, and iterative design. You'll build confidence solving real-world problems while deepening your understanding of asynchronous programming, API design, security practices, and scalable deployment patterns.

• Confidently master async programming with async/await, Promises, and the Node.js event loop
• Effectively design scalable APIs using Fastify and modular routing patterns
• Reliably manage data with the filesystem, MongoDB, and CSV output
• Securely implement authentication flows with JWTs and environment-based configs
• Seamlessly integrate third-party APIs like OpenAI and Google Gemini
• Efficiently build real-time features with Redis, schedulers, and event-driven logic
• Strategically break down complex problems into modular, testable components
• Smoothly transition from prototype to production with modern Node.js workflows
