Research – that’s what brought me to hapi. Flexibility, maintainability, and scalability are core areas when choosing a framework. I was new to Node.js, and I thought any framework I chose would be a huge learning curve. hapi was a pleasant surprise, because it gets you up and running in no time. If you’re new to JavaScript, worry not – we’ve covered the ground well. This book is to make sure that you work from the ground up and have a solid foundation in hapi, and if you’re familiar with JavaScript, you can always revisit the language and take a walk through advanced concepts like promises and others. We haven’t covered any concepts like introducing SSL , node inspector, CORS, and so on. These are independent topics, and various informative articles about these are found on the Internet. What we’ve focused on is building a story out of a framework, getting all the major corners secured, so that the eager developer is confident enough to explore more and has his fundamentals right.

Before you step into code and make apps, services, and/or your next big project, be sure of “why” you wish to learn coding. That might not seem the right fit for an introduction to a technical book, but to all my learners, the joy of coding can really be assessed if you’re sure of why you’re learning, and before you get caught in an industry where timelines can get the better of you, it’s only fair to yourself to keep the spark of research alive.
