“A book that takes you from zero to complete development in Node with Express, including deployment and containerization with Docker. Very practical and readable. If you have no knowledge of JavaScript and Node.js, it's perfect because it has a section entirely dedicated to it. Gradually, it delves into the fundamentals of Node.js, including testing, and concludes with the development of a complete application. Highly recommended for those who want to get started with Node.js and for experienced developers looking to refresh their knowledge.”

“Node.js for Beginners is an exceptional guide to learn Node.js. The book is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of Node.js, starting with its fundamentals and JavaScript basics, to then finish with asynchronous programming and event-driven architecture.

As a Docker Captain, Ulises's expertise shines through every page. The Dockerizing a Node.js Application chapter is particularly interesting. The author explains very clearly the Docker lifecycle, from creating and managing Docker images to integrating continuous integration (CI) pipelines with GitHub Actions. Ulises also introduces the Twelve-Factor App principles, providing a solid foundation for building scalable applications.

I can confidently say this book is an invaluable resource for modern developers. It is practical and insightful. The inclusion of practical examples, testing methodologies, and deployment strategies ensures that readers can apply the knowledge effectively in real-world scenarios.”
