5本Node.js初学者友好的免费书籍

JavaScript and Node FUNdamentals

This tiny (but fun) book by Azat Mardanov is only 32 pages long, but covers some of the most necessary essentials of anyone looking to start Node development, he talks about the basic syntax, as well as gives away a ton of links that lead to more resources; like interactive tutorials and more books.

Also takes a look at the ever popular Express.js framework, and has got more sections still to cover.

Mastering Node.js

This book started out as a side project, and because the original author behind lost track of time and had to work on other projects, it hasn’t been really finished up, but is nonetheless a resourceful book that every beginner should take a look at.

I’ve specifically linked to the GitHub page so you can see the open / closed issues, as well as fork your own copy. It’s definitely an old book, but some things never change.

Mixu’s Node Book

Mikito Takada, the author of the book, has plenty of experience with Node.js, and so he has written his own version of how he looks at Node.js and how he believes people should look at it, from a perspective of a programmer.

In order to learn Node, you need to learn how to write code – not how to use a 3rd party library or a set of spells. I will recommend a few libraries, but the focus is on writing code yourself.

Node: Up and Running

This book expects you to have some understanding of JavaScript and programming in general, but we take the time to introduce you to the concepts that are important in event-driven programming on the server, rather than just focusing on the APIs that Node provides.

Who doesn’t love free stuff, especially when it comes from O’Reilly, right? Totally love that this full book is available for free as an online HTML version. I don’t think that is in any way an obstacle.

The really good thing about this book is that it also gives you an introduction to some of the most commonly used modules, accelerating your development rate immensely.

The Node Beginner Book

This is a partly-free book, but I’m including it in the list because I think offers the reader a choice; the introduction to the book is free, and so you can easily see what the style of the author – Manuel Kiessling – is, and decide on whether you’d like to grab the full copy. (bundle)
