Node.Js Course

DESCRIPTION:

The Node.js Development course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of Node.js, a runtime environment that allows server-side execution of JavaScript.
This course covers the basics of JavaScript on the server, asynchronous programming, and the Node.js ecosystem. Participants will gain hands-on experience in building scalable and efficient server-side applications..

What Will You Learn?

Key Topics Covered:

1. Introduction to Node.js:

1. Understand the role and significance of Node.js in modern web development.
2. Install Node.js and NPM (Node Package Manager) and set up a basic development environment.

2. JavaScript on the Server:

1. Learn the fundamentals of server-side JavaScript programming.
2. Understand the differences between client-side and server-side JavaScript.

3. Node.js Fundamentals:

1. Explore the core concepts of Node.js, including modules, the event loop, and the CommonJS module system.
2. Use the Node.js REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) for interactive code execution.

4.Asynchronous Programming in Node.js:

1. Understand the non-blocking nature of Node.js and asynchronous programming.
2. Use callbacks, Promises, and async/await to handle asynchronous operations.

5. Express.js Framework:

1. Introduce the Express.js framework for building web applications and APIs.
2. Create routes, handle HTTP requests, and implement middleware in Express.js.

6. Working with Data:

1. Connect Node.js applications to databases (e.g., MongoDB, MySQL) using appropriate drivers.
2. Perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on databases.

7.Middleware and Routing:

1. Explore middleware functions and their role in request processing.
2. Implement routing for different parts of a web application.

8. Authentication and Authorization:

1. Implement user authentication using Passport.js or similar authentication middleware.
2. Understand and implement authorization mechanisms for securing routes.

9. Websockets and Real-Time Communication (Optional):

1. Optionally, introduce Websockets for real-time communication in Node.js applications.
2. Build a simple real-time chat application.

10. Testing and Debugging:

1. Introduce testing frameworks like Mocha and assertion libraries like Chai.
2. Use debugging tools and techniques for Node.js applications.

11. Building RESTful APIs:

1. Design and implement RESTful APIs using Express.js.
2. Understand best practices for API development, including versioning and documentation.

12. Deployment and Scalability:

1. Deploy Node.js applications to cloud platforms or server environments.
2. Understand strategies for scaling Node.js applications horizontally.
