If you are not into technical books, here is a list of great books (by Bill Gates) with deeper topics.
As with any development platform, one of the first questions one expects to answer is how to organise your code; for small developments this is trivial, but for medium to big developments, this can be a decisive factor in the quality and speed of development.
The book and the offi cial NodeJS documentation has clear ideas of how you should organise your code using modules. But if you are a newbie to NodeJS (like myself) maybe bigger and more complex examples will help you digest the concept.
It would also be helpful to see a microservice-driven implementation in real life, and better still with a fancy Angular front end.
Go to www.yaas.io! YaaS is a microservices ecosystem helping businesses to rapidly expand and build new, highly flexible solutions, and it is powered by SAP Hybris.
With this commands:
git clone https://github.com/SAP/yaas-storefront.git
cd yaas-storefront/
node install
You can get the source code of a full blown NodeJS applications based on microservices that uses Angular.
You can have this application running in under 10 minutes, and easily enhance it.
