Node Web Development
Quit scratching your head already. Of course you’re doing it, scratching your head and mumbling to yourself, “What’s a browser language doing on the server?” In truth, JavaScript has a long and largely unknown history outside the browser.

Right from the start, David Herron’s Node Web Development (2011, Packt) gives hints as to who this book would be most useful to: experienced software engineers, getting ready to explore the Node.js platform for the very first time. Frontend engineers that are looking to get into backend development, would probably find this book very useful.
If you are the tartget audience, though, you will find this book to be one of the best resources on Node.js available.
