Isomorphic JavaScript Web Development
The latest trend in web development, Isomorphic JavaScript, allows developers to overcome some of the shortcomings of single-page applications by running the same code on the server as well as on the client. Leading this trend is React, which, when coupled with Node, allows developers to build JavaScript apps that are much faster and more SEO-friendly than single-page applications.
This book begins by showing you how to develop frontend components in React. It will then show you how to bind these components to back-end web services that leverage the power of Node. You'll see how web services can be used with React code to offload and maintain the application logic. By the end of this book, you will be able to save a significant amount of development time by learning to combine React and Node to code fast, scalable apps in pure JavaScript.

This book is the perfect introduction to the world of writing isomorphic apps. Navigating the endless options of technologies and frameworks for building modern web-apps can be daunting at times. "Isomorphic Javascript Web Development" serves as a comprehensive guide covering all the things we need to consider for writing a production-level Isomorphic web application.
From project structure to testing and security this book goes through all the topics a developer needs to know, with easy-to-follow examples and useful tips "from-the trenches". It even explains how to troubleshoot and debug common issues. More importantly it contains useful recommendations on which libraries to use so you can have a starting point for choosing your technology stack.
The writing style is practical and concise, and the authors provide links to delve deeper into the topics if interested. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hands-on introduction to the world of Isomorphic Web Development.
