About this title

Synopsis

Whether you're a JavaScript beginner ready to build your first backend app or a self-taught developer looking to grow beyond tutorials, Node.js Projects gives you the hands-on experience you need. Through a series of self-contained projects ranging from content aggregators to secure password managers, web scrapers, ML-backed analysis, and an AI-powered learning assistant, you'll apply modern tools like Fastify, MongoDB, Redis, JWT, and Google's Gemini API in practical, job-relevant ways.

With each chapter, author Jonathan Wexler challenges you to think like an engineer, emphasizing architectural thinking, clean coding, and iterative design. You'll build confidence solving real-world problems while deepening your understanding of asynchronous programming, API design, security practices, and scalable deployment patterns.

Confidently master async programming with async/await and the Node.js event loop
Effectively design scalable APIs using Fastify and modular routing patterns
Reliably manage data with the filesystem, MongoDB, and CSV output
Securely implement authentication flows with JWTs and environment-based configs
Seamlessly integrate third-party APIs like OpenAI and Google Gemini
Efficiently build real-time features with Redis, schedulers, and event-driven logic
Smoothly transition from prototype to production with modern Node.js workflows

About the Author

Jon Wexler, author of the notable "Get Programming with Node.js," brings his rich background in software engineering and passion for teaching to his latest work, "Node.js App Anthology: Bite-sized projects to develop real-world engineering techniques." His approach to writing, deeply rooted in practical experience and an intuitive understanding of web technologies, particularly Node.js, subtly conveys his depth of expertise. Wexler reflects elements from his experiences teaching at a coding bootcamp and developing enterprise applications at big tech companies to help break down complex technical concepts into engaging and manageable projects. This has earned him recognition and positive reviews, making his guidance in this new book an invaluable asset for developers looking to elevate their skills through real-world applications.
