Build an application from backend to browser with Node.js, and kick open the doors to real-time event programming. With this hands-on book, you...ll learn how to create a social network application similar to LinkedIn and Facebook, but with a real-time twist. And you...ll build it with just one programming language: JavaScript.
If you...re an experienced web developer unfamiliar with JavaScript, the book...s first section introduces you to the project...s core technologies: Node.js, Backbone.js, and the MongoDB data store. You...ll then launch into the project-a highly responsive, highly scalable application-guided by clear explanations and lots of code examples.
- Learn about key modules in Node.js for building real-time apps
- Use the Backbone.js framework to write clean browser code, and maintain better data integration with MongoDB
- Structure project files as a foundation for code that will arrive later
- Create user accounts and learn how to secure the data
- Use Backbone.js templates to build the application...s UIs, and integrate access control with Node.js
