Node.js the Right Way: Practical, Server-Side JavaScript That Scales Description
JavaScript is the backbone of the modern web, powering nearly every web app’s user interface. Node.js is JavaScript for the server. This book shows you how to develop small, fast, low-profile, useful, networked applications. You’ll write asynchronous, non-blocking code using Node’s style and patterns. You’ll cluster and load balance your services with Node core features and third-party tools. You’ll work with many protocols, creating RESTful web services, TCP socket clients and servers, and more.
This short book packs a hefty dose of Node.js. You’ll test your code’s functionality and performance under load. You’ll learn important aspects of Node development—from its architecture and core, to its ecosystem of third-party modules. You’ll discover how Node pairs a server-side event loop with a JavaScript runtime to produce screaming fast, non-blocking concurrency. Through a series of practical programming domains, you’ll use the latest available ECMAScript Harmony features and harness key Node classes such as EventEmitter and Stream. Throughout the book, you’ll develop real programs that are small, fast, low-profile, and useful.
Get ready to join a smart community that’s rapidly advancing the state of the art in web development.

I don't have enough positive things to say about this book. You start with the simplest callbacks, moving to asynchronous file I/O, to network patterns and slowly build up to rolling your own HTTP server. It's is so much more than "here is how you make a simple web app", but it shows that node is a general purpose evented platform--equally at home handling inputs on large-scale distributed systems, as well as embedded on small IoT devices. There is finally a book that teaches that Node.js is much more than a bare-bones webscale application server for hipsters, and I'm grateful for that.

Well written, concise, clear and with practical examples. Probably one of the best technical books I've read in a while. Everything is easy to follow and understand. Wish more tech books were like this one!
Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn and immediately start working with Node.js
