Now you’re ready to learn about server-side development in more depth. Node has found an important niche outside server-side code: front-end build systems. In this part, you’ll learn how to start projects with webpack and Gulp. We’ll also introduce the most popular web frameworks and compare them from multiple developers’ perspectives to help you decide on the perfect framework for your projects.
If you want to learn in detail about Connect and Express, chapter 6 is entirely dedicated to building web applications with these modules. There’s also a chapter dedicated to templating and using databases with Node.
To complete the journey of full-stack web development with Node, we’ve included chapters on testing and deployment, so you can prepare your first Node application.
