Summary
This hands on Node.js course will teach front end designers and server side developers how to rapidly create, maintain, and deploy Node.js applications.
Description/Agenda
This hands on Node.js course will teach front end designers and server
side developers how to rapidly create, maintain, and deploy Node.js
applications. This course includes thorough coverage of the Node.js
architecture, the V8 engine and the Node Ecosystem. The course takes a
practical approach to creating and organizing Node.js applications using
functions and modules as part of the Node.js organizational structure. This
course will provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of Node.js
core modules and how to procure and install packages using
npm. Attendees will learn to identify and
correct problems through unit testing and exception handling.
Attendees will learn how to use Node.js to create Command Line Interface
applications for system administration and process management, use Node.js
networking modules to communicate with TCP/IP clients and servers such as
HTTP servers, and create / consume REST (Representational State Transfer)
data services. Attendees will learn how to leverage frameworks such as
Express to rapidly build Web Applications. Attendees will learn how to use
Node.js to connect to NoSQL databases such as MongoDB to store, retrieve,
and manipulate data (i.e., achieve data persistence).
Comprehensive hands on exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce
learning and develop real competency.
Course Prerequisites
Knowledge of JavaScript equivalent to attending the
JavaScript Programming course. Attendees should also have familiarity with a
Windows, Linux, or OS X command line interface as well as a basic understanding
of network protocols such as HTTP.
