Did you know that Note on the Application Of Machinery to the Computation Of Astronomical And Mathematical Tables was published on this day in 1822 by Charles Babbage. Yes, the plans for the Difference Engine itself: an automated mechanical calculator, operated by a hand crank.
We can do better than hand-cranked, mis-matched web services.

Node.js 8 the Right Way: Practical, Server-Side JavaScript That Scales
JavaScript is the backbone of the modern web, powering nearly every web app’s user interface. Node.js is JavaScript for the server. This greatly expanded second edition introduces new language features while dramatically increasing coverage of core topics. Each hands-on chapter offers progressively more challenging topics and techniques, broadening your skill set and enabling you to think in Node.js.
Write asynchronous, non-blocking code using Node.js’s style and patterns. Cluster and load balance services with Node.js core features and third-party tools. Harness the power of databases such as Elasticsearch and Redis. Work with many protocols, create RESTful web services, TCP socket clients and servers, and more. Test your code’s functionality with Mocha, and manage its life cycle with npm. Discover how Node.js pairs a server-side event loop with a JavaScript runtime to produce screaming fast, non-blocking concurrency. Through a series of practical programming domains, use the latest available ECMAScript features and harness key Node.js classes and popular modules. Create rich command-line tools and a web-based UI using modern web development techniques.
Join the smart and diverse community that’s rapidly advancing the state of the art in JavaScript development.
Now in beta from pragprog.com/book/jwnode2.
