This book is about shell scripting with Node.js. You will learn:

How Node.js works:

  • Its foundations: its architecture, its event loop, etc.
  • Its API: How to use its global variables and modules.

What are npm packages (the de-facto standard for JavaScript packages) are.

How to use npm (the package manager bundled with Node.js) to:

Install and manage packages.

Create and publish packages.

  • How to write cross-platform package scripts for running development tasks such as generating artifacts and running tests.
  •  How to use all of the aforementioned knowledge to create and deploy cross-platform shell scripts.
What knowledge is required to read this book?

You should be familiar with JavaScript – especially:

  • ECMAScript modules: importing and exporting values, etc.
  • Asynchronous JavaScript: Promises, async functions, etc.

My book on JavaScript, “JavaScript for impatient programmers” is free to read online:

  • It has a chapter on modules.
  • It covers asynchronous JavaScript in a series of chapters, starting with “Asynchronous programming in JavaScript”.
