MEAN Web Development by Amos Q. Haviv (Ebook)
MEAN.JS is the full stack solution in JavaScript that assists you in making the robust and fast network applications using MongoDB, Express, Angular JS and Node.JS.
This book by ‘Amos Q. Haviv’ is an excellent resource for Node.JS programmers. It will go through the steps in developing a full stack application using Node.JS.
Half of the section of this book is focussed on the basic installation, Node concepts, development, building Express applications, Installing and integrating MongoDB and Mongoose.
Other section includes Angular JS concepts along with the CRUD MEAN module, Socket.io, Testing and debugging.
So, if I review it as a whole, it will let you know the detailed overview of how to develop a full stack application using MEAN.
Mastering Node.JS by ‘T J HolowayChuk’ (Ebook)
Mastering Node.JS is an awesome resource for developing Node applications. It is the open source e-book by Node Hacker for Node Hackers.
The author had beautifully covered all the concepts of Node.JS from installation to the deployment of any Node application.
The first chapter is about the installation of Node with all of its dependencies. Further, he explained the concept of globals, events, modules, buffers, streams, File System, Communication in Network via TCP, Testing, and Deployment.
This book is available for free; you can download it in various formats.

The thing I like the most is, they guide the users/student from the very basic level. Like for example, you can see here. You will see how they organize all the video tutorials for Node.JS. All of the video tutorials are self-explanatory, run-time code demonstration and animated videos that help user in brainstorming the key concepts of Node.JS.

To start your career as a beginner, go for the ‘Felix’s Node.JS Guide’. Felix Geisendörfer, is an early Node.JS core contributor, for the past few years. He has done many seminars and consultation on developing Node.JS applications.
He compiled this guide, to help people finding all the solutions regarding Node.JS on a single platform.
I found this guide really helpful, because all of the proper documentation and stepwise solution from installing Node.JS to deployment. The multiple chapters in the guide brainstorm the key concepts of Node.JS.
There is no styling or CSS on its website, but the content is really helpful and thorough. We highly recommend this guide for newbies cracking Node.JS concepts.
Stack Overflow
Stack Overflow is the language independent platform question-answer site for enthusiast programmers. It is the platform for every development platform like Java, C#, Node.JS, Python and many others.
Stack overflow works on the principle of upvoting the certain answers on the platform. The most authenticate answer from the community is finally approved. So, viewer will find the most approved answer regarding their issue. Most of the issues resolve here is in the form of code.
