Full Stack JavaScript

My new book Full Stack JavaScript (my 4th traditionally-published book) comes with a series of screencast videos for better immersion in a wonderful and mesmerizing world of Node.js, Backbone and MongoDB. It’s a one thing to read through the text and another to follow up with dynamic videos which walk you through the book’s projects.

The videos and the source code are open source, meaning they are publicly available. Therefore, you don’t have to buy a book—you can just watch the 14 videos on YouTube (playlist) and go through the code on GitHub (repository).

People familiar with my early book will recognize the content. Full Stack JavaScript is update and revised edition of the best-selling Rapid Prototyping with JS. It’s been three years and the versions have changes. I learned more about writing and structuring as well (after I published three books with Apress publishing!).

Pre-order on Amazon (print book): http://amzn.to/1nIknSG

So if you are beginner to Node, I highly recommend watching the videos and going through projects. If you need results quickly and want to really master Node, Backbone and MongoDB in a short time (or start mastering), then pre-order the book as well at Amazon.com.

PS: If you want to support Apress and me, get the book. I’ll get $1 from each sale.;-)
