Where to learn server side javascript

I am starting to work in javascript. my use for javascript for server side applications. e.g. Node.JS

but wherever I see any tutorial / example for javascript, it always starts with html tags, script tags, calling browser window functions, etc., for example.

 <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function displayDate() { document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML=Date(); } </script> </head> <body> <h1>My First Web Page</h1> <p id="demo">This is a paragraph.</p> <button type="button" onclick="displayDate()">Display Date</button> </body> </html>

Where can I find a javascript tutorial that only teaches a language and not using its webpage / browser.

I want to know aspects of the language, such as

  • regexp in js

  • functional programming in js

  • any good javascript design templates (if any)

  • program structure in js in general

Thank you very much.

If you are new to Javascript, you should start with the Javascript book: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford: http://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Good-Parts-Douglas-Crockford/dp/0596517742

This will provide an excellent and concise introduction to the language.

If you're starting with node, it might also be a good idea to check out Express JS, which has a pretty good guide, and you can work with a higher level API: http://expressjs.com/guide.html

Please note that you will also miss some of the low-level actions using Express :)
