Beginning Node.js, Express & MongoDB Development

It's been a while since I've had to dive into node so I went looking for something that was:1) Affordable2) Covered the key topics3) Had decent reviewsI chose this book in my total non-exhaustive search and I'm glad I did. I was remembering concepts I'd forgotten and being brought up to speed on new ones throughout each chapter. I had the Kindle version and it was well formatted - the code was easy to read and follow.If you want a truly deep dive into MERN, however, this is likely not the book for you. If you are new or want to get up to speed again like me - this book is excellent.At the end of the day I liked the author's approach enough I ended up getting his book on React and so far it's more of the exact same thing I was looking for.

This book is priceless! As a person who has an OK grasp of JavaScript, but have been struggling to get through any YouTube video tutorials on Express and MongoDB, this book got me there and made it fun. The code is clear and explanations are concise. There's no cutest stuff just clear explanations on what is being done and why. I keep this book held open with a clip next to my desk and it makes comparing what I have to what is being typed a breeze!Another thing I should mention is that the book follows along a bootstrap blog template and you turn that template into a working blog. At first I thought that it's strange to work with remade html, css, Js etc. But then I realized how useful this skill is to work with someone else's code and implement functionality around it. Genius! There's also some refactoring which I've gotten very practice in so far so I think it's a great excercise for newbs like me!So this isn't the book if you know zero javascript, css or html. But if you feel comfortable in all of those but have never worked on server side js or in node js, this is a good way to start!

Probably a good place to start. The book runs through some practical applications to teach node.js, which works well to a point. It lacks in presentation of fundamentals in sequential fashion and lacks little things like an Index. Not a textbook or reference book but will get working with enough competency to have some more intelligent questions to ask. I think that is what the author's intension was, so I believe he succeeded.

You’ll have to google some stuff, you’ll have to fix some errors, but that’s what programming is. Literally the first programming book I’ve finished. Covers everything you need to know is a simple basic way that lets you focus on spending your time to learn and spend your own time researching how to make it all work on your own creations. Highly recommend. Don’t pay attention to the distractors, every programming book is out of date six months after it is released, but with some googling and a bit of work everything is doable.

I have tried with different ports, but I and not getting nothing. Besides that the book good. I just need that to work.

Siendo NODE.JS full stack me permite conocer un sola manera de programar, tanto para el front-end como para el Back-end, además, me permite programar aplicaciones de forma asíncrona ya que para desarrollos de aplicaciones de alta transaccionalidad esta es una buena opción para su construcción e implementación.El libro me permitió conocer las ventajas y beneficios de esta tecnología para desarrollo y me permitió explorar y programar todas sus funcionalidades y su integración con otros componentes como Express, MongoDB, entre otros. Asimismo, me permitió realizar despliegues en plataformas en la nube, tanto para la base de datos como para el mismo aplicativo.Finalmente, durante mi aprendizaje me sentí acompañado por el apoyo de Greg en cuanto al soporte dado.

This book does what it says. Good for a beginner. The Clean Blog template from Bootstrap has been updated a bit since the writing of this book, a basic understanding of HTML will help. I can vouch for the code examples, it all works. I would of liked to seen router examples, but I’ve got a far better understanding of Express. Easy and fun, I finished it twice. I recommend it. Working source code at DelMouse/Clean-Bog on git hub if you encounter issues.

Wonderfully minimalistic. Only 2 chapters in so far, but it has been truly a learning experience. Every topic is strict to the point guided by coding. Summaries are very short and concise, nothing overly verbose.One issue, however, is the slight inconsistencies in examples. For example the index.js in Express suddenly replaced the standard Node code but this change was not expressed properly, pun intended.Overall, minimalistic is the best term I can use to describe this book.

Excellent book

The book contains a lot of errors, there are inconsistencies between the pages, e.g. once the author refers to the home.js file and once to homePage.js. There are a lot of bugs in the code - you have to guess a lot and fix it manually. In some places the github code is different than the one in the book. If not for the fact that I am an experienced developer from other areas, it would probably not be possible to follow the examples from the book, it would be good to do a quality check before publishing...

Sehr lehrreich, kein unnötiges Geschwätz, auf den Punkt gebracht. Erklärt ziemlich gut alles, was man für die erste Anwendung benötigt.Absolut empfehlenswert.

I'm about 80% of the way through the book so far and it's been really great. I love that the code gets explained line by line and it has really helped me understand web development. There are some typos and some things have changed and you will have to do some googling - but you should expect to do that if you want to be a developer.

Very good book to go into this pile. Very didactic and clear examples. 100% recommendable.
