DESCRIPTION
Node.js has rapidly become a viable choice for large-scale web
applications that previously relied on Java, PHP, or Rails. Sails.js is a
modern MVC framework for Node that radically simplifies back-end
web development. Sails provides full support for data access, real-time
programming with web sockets, enterprise-caliber security, and
modern development workflow patterns. It also offers powerful
productivity features like rapid API development via Sails blueprints,
task automation via node-machines, and easy integration with frontend
frameworks like Ember and Angular.
Sails.js in Action is a comprehensive guide to building enterprisecapable web applications using Node and Sails. Written by the creators
of the Sails.js framework, this book carefully introduces each concept,
technique, and tool with real-world examples and crystal-clear
explanations. Readers follow perfectly-paced, gap-free instruction as
they learn to build the back end of a typical Single Page Web
Application. As readers hone skills, they explore advanced features
like services, hooks, and file uploads. Along the way, they learn to
fully understand Node's asynchronous programming model and the
syntax and conventions used to implement it.
