Ceci est une ancienne révision du document !
Earlier this month, I was offered the chance to get a copy of Web Development with MongoDB and NodeJS by Jason Krol for review. Since I had previously been experimenting with NodeJS, I jumped at the chance, and worked my way through the book quickly. After finishing the book, I can only say that I am impressed by the quality of the book, as well as the teaching method of the author.
As I’ve already said, this eBook manages to do almost everything right. By the end of the book, you’ll have been led through the entire process of designing and testing a web application using Node.js and MongoDB, as well as having some extra information in the last few chapters. The one problem I ran into was in Chapter 4 (Express.js). The current version of npm (at the time of writing: 2.1.2) did not allow me to install a working version of Express.js 3.5.1, due to changes in dependency packages. Instead, I had to follow the instructions while taking into account the information at the end of chapter 4 (on Express.js version 4). However, this could also count as a plus-point towards the book, for supplying the necessary information in the chapter.
Apart from this one small setback (which, in all honesty, cannot be attributed to the author or the book), the book is written very clearly, and laid out in the way one would approach such a project. The formatting of the book allows the reader to clearly understand what sections of code are relevant to the explanation, and the supplied downloads offer working examples for each chapter (while some changes may be required for the Express.js files). By the end of the book, you should have a good idea of how to approach such a project, as well as having a working application. From there, you should have a good foundation for starting a project of your own design. Even if you’re less interested in NodeJS and more interested in how such a project should be be approached, then this book is an excellent resource and example.
Furthermore, if the book is not enough of a resource for you, it also offers relevant links, and as much extra information as can be included without detracting from the actual material of the book. Along with this abundance of information, the formatting of the book (the pub version at least) offered a very thorough table of contents, and a linked index section at the back of the book. Couple this with the ability to search the ebook, you should be able to find any relevant information as quickly and efficiently as possible.
