If you've worked with JavaScript, you can quickly get up and running with Node.js, a lightweight and efficient platform for building network apps. Alexander Zanfir helps you write your first pieces of code and understand the frameworks available for the platform, including options such as Express, Sails, and Koa. He'll also help you create promises and generators, two unique aspects of Node.js. All this information is bundled into a small user authentication API Alexander creates along the way, which can be used as the stepping stone for the next full-scale app you build with Node.js.

Topics include:

* Installing Node.js

* Understanding the benefits of JavaScript

* Writing modules and packages

* Reading and writing files

* Working with frameworks: Express, Sails, and Koa

* Generating promises

* Working with generator functions
