"Node.js in Action(第2版 英文) 第一章,高清PDF" 本书《Node.js in Action》第二版是关于Node.js开发的一部权威指南,由Alex Young、Bradley Meck、Mike Cantelon等多位专家共同撰写。这本书主要涵盖了Node.js的基础、Web开发以及超越Web开发的应用场景。 在第一章中,作者向读者介绍了Node.js的世界。Node.js现已成为一个成熟的Web开发平台,其独特之处在于使用了V8 JavaScript引擎,允许开发者在服务器端使用JavaScript进行编程。以下是一些关键知识点: 1. **Node.js的核心特性**:Node.js的核心模块提供了非阻塞I/O、事件驱动的架构,使得它在处理高并发请求时表现出色。此外,Node.js的单线程模型和异步编程模型也是其核心特性,这与传统的多线程模型不同,能有效降低系统开销。 2. **npm(Node Package Manager)**:npm是Node.js的包管理器,它允许开发者方便地安装、分享和复用代码库。npm拥有庞大的社区和丰富的模块生态,大大简化了开发过程。 3. **现代JavaScript**:Node.js基于ECMAScript,因此它支持最新的JavaScript特性,如ES6(ES2015)及以后版本的特性,如箭头函数、模板字符串、类、模块导入/导出等。这些特性让JavaScript更接近于传统的面向对象语言,提高了开发效率。 4. **什么是Node.js Web应用**:Node.js可以用来构建Web服务器、API接口和完整的Web应用。通过HTTP模块,开发者可以直接创建服务器并处理HTTP请求。同时,Node.js可以与前端框架如React、Vue.js等配合,实现前后端分离的开发模式。 5. **Node.js的适用场景**:除了Web开发,Node.js还广泛用于命令行工具的开发、实时通信应用(如聊天室)、数据流处理、桌面应用(如Electron框架)等领域,展现了其强大的灵活性和可扩展性。 在后续章节中,作者将深入讲解Node.js的Web开发,包括前端构建系统、服务器端框架(如Express)、中间件(如Connect)、模板引擎、数据存储、测试以及部署和维护等方面的知识。通过这些内容,读者将全面掌握Node.js的使用和开发技巧。

The first edition of Node.js in Action was about web development with a particular focus on the Connect and Express web frameworks. Node.js in Action, Second Edition has been updated to suit the changing requirements of Node development. You’ll learn about front-end build systems, popular Node web frameworks, and how to build a web application with Express from scratch. You’ll also learn how to create automated tests and deploy Node web applications. Node is being increasingly used for command-line developer tools and desktop applications with Electron, so you’ll find chapters dedicated to both of these areas. This book assumes you’re familiar with basic programming concepts. The first chapter provides an overview of JavaScript and ES2015 for those of you who haven’t yet discovered the joys of modern JavaScript. Roadmap This book is organized into three parts. Part 1 provides an introduction to Node.js, teaching the fundamental techniques needed to develop with it. Chapter 1 explains the characteristics of JavaScript and Node and steps through example code. Chapter 2 guides you through fundamental Node.js programming concepts. Chapter 3 is a full tutorial on how to build a web application from scratch. Part 2, the largest section of the book, focuses on web application development. Chapter 4 dispels some of the mystery around front-end build systems: if you’ve ever had to use webpack or Gulp in a project but didn’t really understand it, this is the chapter for you. Chapter 5 reviews some of the most popular server-side frameworks available for Node, and chapter 6 goes into Connect and Express in more depth. Chapter 7 is dedicated to templating languages, which can improve your productivity when writing server-side code. Most web applications need a database, so chapter 8 covers the many types of databases that you can use with Node, from relational to NoSQL. Chapters 9 and 10 deal with testing and deployment, and this includes cloud deployment. Part 3 goes be
