Backends with Node and Express

Build RESTful APIs from Server Setup to Serverless Deployment

About this book

Node.js backend development and Express.js tutorial. Node.js Express backend server JavaScript Node.js. Build real server applications from first route to deployment. This practical hands-on guide takes you from beginner to pro, covering routing, middleware, databases, and authentication with Node.js and Express. You'll learn to create scalable APIs, handle errors, and secure your app. Whether you're new to backend development or looking to solidify your skills, this book provides step-by-step examples and real-world projects. Compare with JavaScript and jQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development and JavaScript from Beginner to Professional for a comprehensive learning path. What You'll Build RESTful APIs with Express routing Middleware for logging, auth, and error handling Database integration (MongoDB, SQL) User authentication (JWT, sessions) Deployment to cloud platforms Why This Book Stands Out Unlike front-end-focused guides, this book dives deep into server-side development. You'll master Express, handle async operations, and optimize performance. Each chapter builds on the last, culminating in a production-ready application. By the end, you'll confidently deploy your own backends. Who Should Read JavaScript developers ready to go beyond the browser. Ideal for web developers, bootcamp graduates, and self-taught coders. No prior backend experience needed—just basic JavaScript knowledge. What Readers Say 'Clear, concise, and immediately useful. The authentication chapter alone saved me hours.' — Early reader review. 'Finally a book that teaches Express without fluff.' Start building today. Master Node.js and Express with this all-in-one resource.
