Provide some basic usages of using Node for building server, but not advanced cases.

Way better than any paid online courses. Loved the section about worker threads. However, just a few areas where it fell short of a perfect score.
Chapter 6 (Processing Form Data with Express) could have been enhanced by using Postman examples to illustrate the concept of handling form data from a front-end page, instead of relying on EJS, which may not be to everyone's liking.
Given my personal preference against EJS, I believe Chapter 11 (Web Sockets) would have been more reader-friendly if it used simple HTML files in conjunction with native JavaScript functions to demonstrate dynamic value handling, rather than EJS.
The last lesson chapter - Useful Node.js APIs - feels kind of crammed. Each sub-section could have been a chapter of their own, making the book more comprehensive. At this point, it was necessary to head over to the author's GitHub repo instead of the book being a complete, stand-alone resource.
