# Node Cookbook - Third Edition This is the code repository for [Node Cookbook - Third Edition](https://www.packtpub.com/web-development/node-cookbook-third-edition?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repository&utm_campaign=9781785880087), published by [Packt](https://www.packtpub.com/?utm_source=github). It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the book from start to finish. ## About the Book The principles of asynchronous event-driven programming are perfect for today's web, where efficient real-time applications and scalability are at the forefront. Server-side JavaScript has been here since the 90's but Node got it right. ## Instructions and Navigation All of the code is organized into folders. Each folder starts with a number followed by the application name. For example, Chapter02. The code will look like the following: ``` const express = require('express') const app = express() const past = require('./past') const future = require('./future') app.get('/:age', (req, res) => { res.send(past(req.params.age, 10) + future(req.params.future, 10)) }) app.listen(3000) ``` The following is a list of the software that is required to run the examples in this book: * Chapters 1-10: Windows, macOS, or Linux. * Chapter 11: Linux or macOS (we recommend that Windows users work through Chapter 11, Deploying Node.js, by SSH-ing into a remote Linux machine). * Node 6 or higher. In cases where the code is specific to Node 8, this is specified. * Node can be downloaded from http://nodejs.org. * Curl 7: Curl can be downloaded from http://curl.haxx.se. ## Related Products * [Universal JavaScript with React, Node, and Redux [Video]](https://www.packtpub.com/web-development/universal-javascript-react-node-and-redux-video?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repository&utm_campaign=9781787286795) * [Cross-platform Desktop Application Development: Electron, Node, NW.js, and React](https://www.packtpub.com/web-development/cross-platform-desktop-application-development-electron-node-nwjs-and-react?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repository&utm_campaign=9781788295697) * [Building Bots with Node.js](https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/building-bots-nodejs?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repository&utm_campaign=9781786465450)
