Description
This course is designed in a project-based learning method, which ensures that you learn through doing things practically. Start with the fundamentals and then slowly you will move to more complex topics by building apps such as a task manager API, a weather app and a socket-based chat app. This course follows a structured approach, teaching students how to build server-side apps from the very basic with Node.js. Rather to just learning how to write code, this course focuses on developing complete and scalable applications. You will learn everything from server configuration and RESTful API programming to authentication, testing, deployment and advanced debugging.
Topics Covered
- Introduction to Node.js: Understand what Node.js is, why it is powerful and how to install and configure your development environment.
- Asynchronous Programming: Learn how to use callbacks, promises and async/await to handle asynchronous tasks effectively.
- File System and Core Modules: Work with built-in Node.js modules to read, write and manipulate files.
