In this book, we take you on a fun, hands-on and pragmatic journey to learning Node.js, Express and MongoDB development. You'll start building your first Node.js app within minutes. Every chapter is written in a bite-sized manner and straight to the point as I don’t want to waste your time (and most certainly mine) on the content you don't need. In the end, you will have the skills to create a blog app and deploy it to the Internet.

Beginning Node.js, Express MongoDB Development Reviews
-
This book contains a step by step guide to starting with Node JS, Express and MongoDB. It uses a lot of really helpful npm packages which are often times used in real projects.
It can certainly be used as a reference for how to do specific things using Express. -
I am going to post a more extensive review here or on my new blog (not yet online).
I have learned a lot by reading/studying this book. Not just about Node.js, Express and MongoDB, but also on how to deploy the database to MongoDB Atlas and the web app to Heroku. I was really looking forward to getting introduced to Heroku and MongoDB Atlas.
I can recommend this book, but don't wait too long to read it, because this technology is in constant and I already got some warnings about deprecated packages.
Given that I found a bit more code errors than I would like, 3 or 3.5 stars seems appropriate.
However, compared to the blogs, online courses and video tutorials that I have read and watched the past couple of months on the topics of Node.js, Express and MongoDB, I will give this book four stars, because it really is significantly better than what is available online. -
Great book for beginners + those that want to refresh their knowledge :)
Could have exercises for the readers to tackle + some orthographic mistakes :( -
Love everything in one shot, it gives me a good Foundation for a javascript stack!
I enjoy reading books or the fundamental skills this book was a great starting point to learn how to use a MEN stack, it's a good read.
