About this title

Synopsis

Node.js: The Practical Handbook doesn't teach you Node.js the way the official docs do — it teaches you Node.js the way a senior engineer would grill you about it in a technical interview.

Written by four educators from the CSE, Allied Branches, and AIML departments at BGIEM, this handbook walks through Node.js from first principles — the V8 engine, the event loop, modules, npm — straight through to building a real REST API with Express, handling errors properly, testing, logging, and deploying with PM2 and Docker.

What sets it apart is Chapters 13 and 14: a dedicated deep dive into the trick questions interviewers actually ask about Node.js internals, and a chapter on the "common uncommon mistakes" that quietly sink otherwise strong candidates and codebases. Every chapter pairs a clear explanation with runnable code and the reasoning behind why it works — not just that it works.

Whether you're a student preparing for placement interviews, a self-taught developer moving from the browser to the backend, or an engineer who wants to close the gaps in your Node.js fundamentals before your next interview, this book is built to get you past both the code and the conversation about the code.

Inside you'll find:

• The event loop and async programming explained without hand-waving
• CommonJS vs ES Modules, and when each one bites you
• File systems, streams, and building a production-style REST API
• Error handling, debugging, logging, and testing patterns that hold up in real projects
• Deployment basics with PM2 and Docker
• A full chapter of Node-specific interview trick questions, with answers
