This course is designed to help you succeed as a back-end or full-stack developer. You may be in IT looking to step up in your career or a new graduate seeking to further establish your server-side skills, an IT decision-maker who needs to manage more cloud-centric projects, or someone in another field who wants to be able to talk about server-side computing more knowledgeably. In the course instructional videos and labs, you will learn about server-side development using JavaScript, code your first web server, and use Node Package Manager to manage your application modules and dependencies. You’ll explore how to make applications run in a non-blocking manner by using asynchronous callbacks and promises, learn how REST APIs are used in conjunction with HTTP requests and responses with the Express.js framework, and then, practice using Express by building a web server and creating dynamic content with middleware, routing, and templating.
To be successful in this course and become adept with using Node.js and Express, you should:
- Read the Theory
-
take the practice and graded quizzes
-
complete the hands-on labs
-
complete the final project
-
peer-review two of your classmate’s projects
-
periodically review the discussion forums
