Prerequisites
Rudementary understanding of JavaScript.
Description
Node.js Training course offers a comprehensive coverage of the how to build server-side applications using Node.js.
The course covers the essentials of programming JavaScript server-side code using the Node.js (V8) engine from Google. We'll cover the essential programming patterns and idioms as well as the most commonly used node modules. It is also possible to customize this course for delivery at client locations by adding the models used by the organization.
Objectives
Our goal is to transfer as much knowledge as possible from the classroom to the workplace. Our Node.js course has been carefully designed to teach server-side programmers how to effectively use JavaScript and the Node.js infrastructure to build commercial strength server applications:
After the course, the students should master:
- The asynchronous programming model of Node.js
- How to avoid pitfalls in Node.js
- The essential Node.js libraries
- Understand how to build and deploy Node.js applications
