Course overview
Build modern web services and gain confidence using Node.js
Gain an introduction to Node.js fundamentals, from setting up your environment to building secure REST APIs. You’ll learn how to structure back-end apps, manage data flow and apply real-world solutions.
Learning objectives
- Set up Node.js and NPM
- Use modules effectively
- Write non-blocking code
- Handle streams and buffers
- Read from and write to the file system
- Develop RESTful web APIs
- Implement Express routing
- Apply JWT for security
- Connect to SQL and NoSQL databases
What you’ll learn
Discover how to build robust Node.js apps using Express and database connections. Understand the event loop, manage data in motion, and build RESTful APIs. By the end of the course, you’ll be confident in developing scalable, full-stack Node.js applications that are ready for use.
Node.js fundamentals
Understand the value of Node.js by exploring its event-driven architecture and asynchronous programming model. Learn how these core principles enable efficient handling of multiple tasks without blocking execution. Plus, practice running scripts from the command line and begin working with essential tools that prepare you for full-scale application development.
Managing modules and dependencies
Learn how to structure your Node.js applications efficiently using modules and external packages. You’ll explore how to create and reuse your own modules; maintain clear, modular code; and configure your projects with package.json. Through practical examples, you’ll also discover how to control versioning and follow best practices for organising your application’s codebase.
Data handling and integration
On this course, you’ll explore how to manage data effectively within your applications by working with some of Node.js’s most powerful features. You’ll use buffers to process binary data and learn how streams enable efficient, real-time data transfer, ideal for handling large files or continuous input. These skills will enable you to develop responsive applications that process and move data reliably under load.
