Course Description
This course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of Node.js, an open-source JavaScript runtime environment that enables developers to build scalable and high-performance web applications. This 4-weeks course covers the foundational concepts of Node.js, its core modules and the Express.js framework, guiding learners from basic to advanced levels. Participants will gain hands-on experience in creating server-side applications, building RESTful APIs and integrating with databases like MongoDB.
Course Objectives
The primary intention of this course is to equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to develop robust server-side applications using Node.js and Express.js. By the end of the course, learners will be able to understand and leverage Node.js’s asynchronous, event-driven architecture, enabling them to build real-time applications that can handle multiple concurrent connections efficiently. The course aims to foster an interactive learning environment through practical exercises, real-world projects, and collaborative discussions.
