Node.js is a current hype, obviously with valid reasons. Though several times I’ve planned to learn it, I could not manage it. It’s mostly for being extremely busy at home & work and unable to manage time to read big books/manuals. However, I just had a quick look into Node.js when I’ve found a book titled Instant Node.js Starter authored by Pedro Teixeira published by Packt Publishing. This is a part of Packt’s Instant series.
Packt’s Instant series are published for people who struggles with time for reading. These books are very short, fast and jump directly in action.
