Node & Express

This comprehensive course is your gateway to becoming a professional backend developer using the modern JavaScript ecosystem. You will learn to build powerful and scalable web applications and APIs from the ground up with Node.js and the popular Express.js framework. This course also integrates MongoDB, the leading NoSQL database, to provide you with a full-stack skillset for creating complete, data-driven applications.

What You’ll Learn

• Node.js Fundamentals: Master asynchronous JavaScript, event-driven architecture, and the Node.js module system. You will learn to work with the file system, handle streams, and understand how to build efficient server-side logic.
• Express.js Framework: Discover how to use Express.js to create robust and organized server applications. You’ll learn to handle routing, middleware, and request/response cycles to build clean and maintainable APIs.
• MongoDB & Mongoose: Learn to work with MongoDB, a flexible NoSQL database. You’ll master essential database operations (CRUD) and use Mongoose, an elegant object data modeling (ODM) library for Node.js, to interact with your database effectively.
• RESTful APIs: Design and implement powerful RESTful APIs that serve data to front-end applications. You will learn to handle HTTP methods, manage authentication, and structure your API for optimal performance.
• Authentication & Security: Implement user authentication using best practices, including password hashing, JSON Web Tokens (JWT), and secure session management.
• Deployment: Learn how to deploy your Node.js applications to a cloud hosting provider, making your projects accessible to the world.

Course Structure

This course is a hands-on, project-based journey. Each module builds upon the last, culminating in the creation of a complete, full-stack application. Through a series of video tutorials, coding challenges, and guided projects, you will not only understand the theory but also gain the practical experience needed to build real-world applications. By the end of this course, you will have a strong portfolio of projects and the confidence to build and deploy your own full-stack applications.
