Over 60 high-quality recipes covering debugging, security, performance, microservices, web frameworks, databases, deployment and more; rewritten for Node.js 8, Node.js 6, and Node.js 4 About This Book • Actionable recipes across the full spectrum of Node.js development • Cutting edge techniques and tools for measuring and improving performance • Best practices for creating readily-scalable production systems Who This Book Is For If you have good knowledge of JavaScript and want to build fast, efficient, scalable client-server solutions, then this book is for you. Some experience with Node.js is assumed to get the most out of this book. If working from a beginner level Node Cookbook 2nd Edition is recommended as a primer for Node Cookbook 3rd Edition. What You Will Learn • Debug Node.js programs • Write and publish your own Node.js modules • Detailed coverage of Node.js core API's • Use web frameworks such as Express, Hapi and Koa for accelerated web application development • Apply Node.js streams for low-footprint data processing • Fast-track performance knowledge and optimization abilities • Persistence strategies, including database integrations with MongoDB, MySQL/MariaDB, Postgres, Redis, and LevelDB • Apply critical, essential security concepts • Use Node with best-of-breed deployment technologies: Docker, Kubernetes and AWS In Detail Today's web demands efficient real-time applications and scalability. Asynchronous event-driven programming is ideal for this, and this is where Node.js comes in. Server-side JavaScript has been here since the 90s, but Node got it right. With Node for tooling and server-side logic, and a browser-based client-side UI, everything is JavaScript. This leads to rapid, fluid development cycles. The full-stack, single language experience means less context-switching between languages for developers, architects and whole teams. This book shows you how to build fast, efficient, and scalable client-server solutions using the latest versions of Node. The book begins with debugging tips and tricks of the trade, and how to write your own modules. Then you'll learn the fundamentals of streams in Node.js, discover I/O control, and how to implement the different web protocols. You'll find recipes for integrating databases such as MongoDB, MySQL/MariaDB, Postgres, Redis, and LevelDB. We also cover the options for building web application with Express, Hapi and Koa. You will then learn about security essentials in Node.js and advanced optimization tools and techniques. By the end of the book you will have acquired the level of expertise to build production-ready and scalable Node.js systems. The techniques and skills you will learn in this book are based on the best practices developed by nearForm, one of the leaders in Node implementations, who supported the work of the authors on this book. Style and approach This recipe-based practical guide presents each topic with step-by-step instructions on how you can create fast and efficient server side applications using the latest features and capabilities in Node 8 whilst also supporting usage with Node 4 and 6.

The definitive survey of Keith Tyson's thirty-year career. British Turner Prize-winning artist Keith Tyson is known for a distinctive and diverse body of work including drawing, painting, installation and sculpture. Showing a wide range of influences, from mathematics and science through to poetry and mythology, he is interested in how art emerges from the combination of information systems and physical processes that surround us every day. For over thirty years, Tyson has probed, dissected, explored and questioned reality. Not fixed to one artistic style, Tyson sets out to challenge himself and the audience, whilst working with diverse materials – paint, clay, metal, resin – to question our knowledge of the world we perceive as real, and art’s role in representing it. With newly commissioned texts from an internationally diverse array of writers, and including a previously unpublished interview with the artist, this is the definitive survey of one of the most restless and adventurous creators working today.

På denna grund är rysliga berättelser koncentrerade till ett hus fyllt av ondska. Ett tjugotal författare inklusive skräckdrottningen Caroline L Jensen, låter rädslor kräla fram ur husgrunden, vinden eller gungan ute i trädgården. Läs ett kapitel i taget eller alla i streck, men ha gärna lamporna tända för säkerhets skull. Det har alltid legat ett hus på denna plats, säger lokalbefolkningen. Uppe på Hallandsåsen blickar gravhögar från uråldrig tid ner på det nedgångna huset precis i skogsbrynet. Här har gränsen gått i över tusen år. Först mellan folken i söder och de i norr, sedan mellan socknar och län, och under en tid även riksgränsen mellan Sverige och Danmark. I alla tider har folket i bygden fruktat huset vid åsens fot. Ändå har det lockat främlingar, så väl enstöringar och familjer, men ingen har stannat länge - utom de som aldrig någonsin kommit därifrån. På denna grund är en modern skräcksamling med allt från mörk thriller till övernaturlig skräck, från 1800-tal till nutid. Läs den nu - på egen risk.
