The Web Security Topics Series
Server-Side JavaScript
Most Web developers and designers will be familiar with the use of JavaScript to perform client-side computation, but its use outside the browser has only recently become feasible. The more exacting demands of server-side computation require JavaScript to be used in ways that may be new to you if you have only ever written scripts for Web pages.
The series of short tutorials planned for these pages grew into something more substantial, which has now been published as a book in paperback and Kindle format.
