Web Development with Node and Express: Leveraging the JavaScript Stack Book Description:
Learn how to build dynamic web applications with Express, a key
component of the Node/JavaScript development stack. In this
hands-on guide, author Ethan Brown teaches you the fundamentals
through the development of a fictional application that exposes
a public website and a RESTful API. You’ll also learn web
architecture best practices to help you build single-page,
multi-page, and hybrid web apps with Express.
Express strikes a balance between a robust framework and no

choices. With this book, frontend and backend engineers
familiar with JavaScript will discover new ways of looking at
web development.
