Preface

In 2015, when Manning approached us to write a book on Sails.js, we wanted to take an approach that reflects our background: building real-world applications for clients. And because that was why we built Sails.js in the first place, we wanted to take that experience and weave it into the pages of this book. We feel it’s important to teach the theory behind how Sails.js works, but it’s even more important to emphasize the practical steps involved in building a client-led project using the framework. Fortunately, our publisher agreed, and so we were able to embark on that effort. We hope you have as much fun reading Sails.js in Action as we did writing it.
