IBM just published another great Redbook, this time on application development with Node.JS, Express and AngularJS:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248406.pdf
It describes the process on BlueMix, but it is applicable to a local application also.
What I like about it is the intricate detail it goes into for each and every step of the process and line of code in the application. It includes a ton of details about exactly what is going on with each step. If you're just learning these technologies or want a primer, this is an extremely informative resource.
