Course Overview

Top
 

This course offers a deep but gentle dive into Node.js. First, by starting off with the basic building blocks of the modern JavaScript language, which are necessary for students to have a good grasp of Node.js, before delving into the fundamentals of Node.js.

 

Most courses quickly dive into Node.js forgetting that, at the end of the day, Node.js is still JavaScript. This can end up being a little uncomfortable for JavaScript newbies, since we can't build a solid house on a shaky foundation.

 

The course therefore begins with a quick introduction to the modern JavaScript language (ES6+). We will then look into Node's asynchronous programming model and examine Node's module system, including built-in modules and application modularization, as well as the NPM third-party module registry. We will skip a number of topics, which we will recommend for further reading, and will finish off by working on a simple web application API using the Hapi.js and Knex.js frameworks.
