All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
process.stdin.on("data", (data) => {
const name = data.toString().trim().toUpperCase();

process.stdout.write(`Hello ${name}!`);
} else {
process.stderr.write("Input was empty.");
}
})
Following is what you need for this book:
The book is for web developers who have knowledge of JavaScript and want to gain a broad understanding of Node.js concepts for server-side development.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-12).
| Chapter | Software required | OS required |
|---|---|---|
| 1-12 | Node.js 14 (including anpm) | Windows, MacOS, and Linux (Any) |
| 1-12 | Google Chrome | Windows, MacOS, and Linux (Any) |
