This book will show you how you can use Node.js core modules and also how you can use patterns to create your own modules. It will also teach you about NPM and how you can use it to install any of the many available third-party libraries. The book then goes on to explain the three main patterns you need to understand to be able to fully use Node.js: the callback pattern, EventEmitter, and streams. All these patterns are presented with practical code examples that you can use immediately, getting you started quickly on this exciting technology.
Instant Node.js Starter starts with the installation of Node.js and then shows you how to create your first Node.js HTTP server. By showing you the main Node.js concepts together with some working code samples, by the end of the book you will have created a set of working Node.js scripts to create servers and clients.You will learn how you can include and use Node.js core modules, and how you can use patterns to create your own modules. You will also learn how you can use NPM to pick, install, and use any of the many available third-party modules in your applications. You will learn how you can use the callback pattern and EventEmitter to control the asynchronous flow and the power of Node.js streams to make your application more scalable and responsive.

This book is good start point for somebody who would like to start to develop in NodeJS
I had liked to have this book when I started to develop in NodeJS, because with less than 30 pages I had known the main API and principles of NodeJS without needing to search on Internet several hours and read different scattered sources to get all the knowledge that this book provides.
I recommend this book as a good start point to anybody that would like to start to develop in NodeJS.

Instant Node.js Starter is a very good starting point. Clear, short (only 48 pages) but giving quite enough to kick off with Node js. In this short contents there are examples illustrating the explanations. No external tools or frameworks included - just core parts explained. Good reading.

If you would like to learn NodeJs in shortest time and to find what's going behind this recent technology, I would highly recommend you to read "Instant NodeJs Starter". This is a mini-book that needs a few days to read and after completing the book, you will have enough knowledge to go ahead and write simple applications using NodeJs.

This little book helped me to realize which are the core features of nodejs, and due to its shortness, is more like a guide of "what to further research" than a fully self-contained recipe. I had some troubles following the installation in a linux system. In a Windows machine I was able to test all the code proposed.

A pointless read.
Too short and basic to teach you anything.
