Node Web Development gives you an excellent starting point straight into the heart of developing server side web applications with node. You will learn, through practical examples, how to use the HTTP Server and Client objects, the Connect and Express application frameworks, the algorithms for asynchronous execution, and use both SQL and MongoDB databases. This book is the ideal companion for getting started with Node. Starting with practical advice on installing Node for both development and application deployment, you will learn how to develop both HTTP Server and Client applications. Many different ways of working with Node are shown, including using database storage engines in applications and developing websites both with and without the Connect/Express web application framework. You will also get an introduction to Node's CommonJS module system allowing you to implement an important subset of object-oriented design. What you will learn from this book : Discover the role of server-side JavaScript in web application development Make informed architecture choices in Node for performance and throughput Install and use Node for both the development and deployment of server-side web applications Use the Connect and Express application frameworks Set up either SQL or MongoDB database systems in your application Learn the difference between synchronous and asynchronous algorithms and why they are important Approach This book is a practical introduction to learning about Node. Each chapter introduces you to a different area of Node, using screenshots and examples to get you up and running as quickly as possible. Who this book is written for If you are a developer who wants to use JavaScript on the server side in order to build quicker, higher performing web applications, then this book is for you.

Play Framework Cookbook Posted: 10 Sep 2011 03:55 AM PDT Book Description The Play framework is the new kid on the block of Java frameworks. By breaking with existing standards the play framework tries not to abstract away from HTTP as most web frameworks do, but tightly integrates with it. This means quite a shift for Java programmers. Understanding these concepts behind the play framework and its impact on web development with Java are crucial for fast development of applications. The Play Framework Cookbook starts where the beginner documentation ends. It shows you how to utilize advanced features of the Play framework – piece by piece and completely outlined with working applications! The reader will be taken through all layers of the Play Framework and provided with in-depth knowledge from as many examples and applications as possible. Leveraging the most from the Play framework means to think simple again in a java environment. Implement your own renderers, integrate tightly with HTTP, use existing code, improve site performance with caching and integrate with other web services and interfaces. Learn about non-functional issues like modularity or integration into production and testing environments. In order to provide the best learning experience during reading Play Framework Cookbook, almost every example is provided with source code, so you can start immediately to integrate recipes into your own play applications. What you will learn from this book : Write own render methods to return custom formats for creating custom PDFs or RSS and ATOM feed responses Understand internal caching and implement your own cache in just a few lines of code Use existing modules to incorporate legacy spring or guice applications Integrate external APIs into your own application without affecting your application during downtimes Add custom monitoring points deep inside your application to simplify bottleneck detection Create your own API which gets exposed to the world wide web Leverage the validation abilities of the play framework to make sure you always handle valid data to your backend Create your own modules to make your application as reusable as possible Improve performance by setting up multi node environments without struggling through the usual pitfalls Provide integration to your operation monitoring systems like nagios or icinga Implement messaging capabilities by connecting to apache camel or rabbitmq Improve searching of data in a multi node setup by searching via apache solr Approach This book is in Packt's Cookbook series. A Packt Cookbook contains recipes for solutions to the most important problems you face when working with a topic. Inside the Cookbook you will find: A straightforward and easy to follow format A selection of the most important tasks and problems Carefully organized instructions for solving the problem efficiently Clear explanations of what you did Details for applying the solution to other situations Who this book is written for This is the ideal book for people who have already written a first application with the Play Framework or have just finished reading through the documenation.
