This is a great book! The thing I love about this book are the relevant topics and real World examples that work perfectly. Azat has done a great job on this. It was released mid 2014 so is current and covers Express 4.

Azat has also made clear what version he is using for everything to ensure readers won't have problems when Node changes in the future.

A great read for intermediate or above Javascript coders and a good lead in for the Node tutorials on this site.
