Building Node Applications with MongoDB and Backbone
Samenvatting
Build an application from backend to browser with Node.js, and kick open the doors to real-time event programming. With this hands-on book, you’ll learn how to create a social network application similar to LinkedIn and Facebook, but with a real-time twist. And you’ll build it with just one programming language: JavaScript.
If you’re an experienced web developer unfamiliar with JavaScript, the book’s first section introduces you to the project’s core technologies: Node.js, Backbone.js, and the MongoDB data store. You’ll then launch into the project—a highly responsive, highly scalable application—guided by clear explanations and lots of code examples.Learn about key modules in Node.js for building real-time appsUse the Backbone.js framework to write clean browser code, and maintain better data integration with MongoDBStructure project files as a foundation for code that will arrive laterCreate user accounts and learn how to secure the dataUse Backbone.js templates to build the application’s UIs, and integrate access control with Node.jsDevelop a contact list to help users link to and track other accountsUse Socket.io to create real-time chat functionalityExtend your UIs to give users up-to-the-minute information
