Part 2. Real-world recipes

In the first section of this book, we took a deep dive into Node’s standard library. Now we’ll take a broader look at real-world recipes many Node programs encounter. Node is most famously known for writing fast network-based programs (high-performance HTTP parsing, ease-of-use frameworks like Express), so we devoted a whole chapter to web development.

In addition, there are chapters to help you grasp what a Node program is doing preemptively with tests, and post-mortem with debugging. In closing, we set you up for success when deploying your applications to production environments.
