It's concise and to the point. The author gets you up and running fairly quickly. Having said that I have two caveats two caveats regarding the book: 1. It is about Node.js only. While you will dive into interacting with databases or JSON it's strictly from a Node point of view. This isn't a negative, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone that only has a beginner's understanding of JS. 2. All of the examples are written for Linux users. The author is very upfront about the fact that if you're running Windows you're on your own; If you run Windows you will need to find a workaround. While you could use Cygwin to solve this problem I personally prefer Git Bash. It lets me run all of the Unix commands I need from the Bash shell, and interface with Git repositories all in one package.Again, great book but Window's users need to be aware of caveat #2 before buying (this applies mostly to users that are newer to programming, or users not use to working with the Unix/Linux command line. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic book for learning the Node.js basics *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 September 2016* I think this book gets the balance just right between explaining the concepts it introduces, and being too verbose. Yeah, it is relatively short, but that is a strength. Long books with vast tracts of code can get very boring very quickly. This book does not, and keeps the learning pace up well. Most of the examples are short enough that you can (and should) type them in yourself and try running them - it helps cement the concepts being taught.Yeah, there are a couple of typos and mistakes that somehow got through proof reading (passing null as the first param into Array.prototype.slice?) but they're quite easy to spot and fix if you have some existing of JavaScript (which you should), and they will no doubt be fixed in the next edition of the book which is on the way soon:[...]Also note that this book often makes the assumption that you will be running on the Linux commandline, not Windows. Quite a few things will need changing a bit to get to work on Windows, especially the IPC stuff (Windows simply doesn't support ipc:// URLs, you just have to use TCP instead and it works fine). Again, not a major drawback in my opinion.The book is the best I've seen for getting the balance right between teaching just the right concepts (starting out by explaining the single-threaded nature of Node.js, for example, is a CRUCIAL thing to do and this book does it) and overexplaining things to the point of being boring.In short: I highly recommend this book. Buy it and you probably won't need to buy anything else to learn Node.js. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/266908145-node-js-the-right-way-practical-server-side-javascript-that](https://www.desertcart.at/products/266908145-node-js-the-right-way-practical-server-side-javascript-that) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
