In this course you learn how to use JavaScript frameworks like Node.JS and Express.js to build back-end applications.This course will prepare you for taking OpenJS Node.js Application Developer (JSNAD) certification exam.




Learning Objectives

Since its introduction in 2009, Node.js has become one of the go-to platforms from developing everything for massively scaleable real-time enterprise web applications to automating Internet of Things embedded devices. Because it is written in JavaScript, the most popular and widely used programming language in the world, and has more than 200,000 publicly available opensource packages in its module ecosystem, developing Node.js applications increases developer productivity and reduces infrastructure costs. In our Intro to Node.js training course, students will learn:

  • The fundamentals of asynchronous server-side JavaScript
  • Node.js standard library including Streams, Buffers and HTTP servers
  • How to create, deploy and distribute Node.js applications
  • Workflow automation with Gulp and Grunt task runners
  • Interacting with NoSQL databases like MongoDB
  • The basics of building a real-time web application in the Express.JS framework
  • Learn how to use Node.JS in conjunction with a SQL database
  • Learn how to build and deploy RESTFUL API with Express.js and MongoDB
