Course Description

This course deals with all things server-side. We base the entire course around the NodeJS platform. We start with a brief overview of the Web protocols: HTTP and HTTPS. We examine NodeJS and NodeJS modules: Express for building web servers. On the database side, we review basic CRUD operations, NoSQL databases, in particular MongoDB and Mongoose for accessing MongoDB from NodeJS. We examine the REST concepts and building a RESTful API. We touch upon authentication and security. Finally we review backend as a service (BaaS) approaches, including mobile BaaS, both open-source and commercial BaaS services.

At the end of this course, you will be able to: - Demonstrate an understanding of server-side concepts, CRUD and REST - Build and configure a backend server using NodeJS framework - Build a RESTful API for the front-end to access backend services

This course aims to teach student full-stack web development using NodeJS, and related tools as programming languages and MongoDB as database.

Our Intro to Node.js training course is designed to demonstrate the power and flexibility of the Node.js platform. This course is a combination of lectures and hands-on exercises that provide practical real-world experience.

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 and Redis
• The basics of building a real-time web application in the Express.JS framework

Course Prerequisites

Students must have a good working knowledge of computers, operating systems, using a mouse, keyboard, standard menus and commands. Students must be able to open, save, and close applications, files, as well as navigate to other folders.
To participate in the hands-on code demos, students should have a basic working knowledge web browsers. Previous experience with HTML, CSS and JavaScript/jQuery is helpful, but students without programming backgrounds still will be able to follow along and run sample code.
