Node.js, MongoDB, and AngularJS web development

摘要

JavaScript has been at the forefront of client-side web development for quite a long time. As the popularity of JavaScript goes unabated, the demand for fully JavaScript-based web application development popped up. Google, with its V8 JavaScript engine, played a pivotal role in the advancement, and Node.js added server-side scripting using V8. The advantages of using the same language for client-side and server-side development are manifold, ranging from code reusability to management and debugging. This book provides a quick overview of Node.js, MongoDB, and the AngularJS model-view-controller (MVC). Given the breadth of the topics covered, it is nearly impossible to make it a standalone guide to the specified technologies. Instead, it is a quick reference for veteran web developers who want to immediately jump into the Node.js, MongoDB, and AngularJS platforms.
