JavaScript Development with Node, Express, & MongoDB

JavaScript has evolved into a one-stop coding language for creating and hosting web applications. This course will open your eyes to what today’s JavaScript can really do.

You’ll start by exploring the capabilities of the Node.js framework. Node.js provides the ability for JavaScript programmers to create server-side architecture so that anyone can host their very own application. Node.js will allow you to work with the built-in file system, run development servers, and even program listening devices.

After that, you'll learn Express to manage the flow of data entering and leaving your application. Express is a Node.js framework for creating web apps and services. It offers developers a set of features and middleware (functions that handle requests) for creating an API for their web application. Express is a must-have skill set when dealing with Node.js and back-end technology.

Finally, you'll learn MongoDB. If you’ve worked with JavaScript, chances are you’re familiar with the concept of an object. Objects organize data using key-value pairs. It’s a simple yet effective solution to creating data structures. MongoDB harnesses the power of the object as well as JSON to create, store, and manage data in a lightweight manner. It’s also open source!

When you finish this advanced course, you'll have the skills to build functional web applications with JavaScript and its frameworks.

JavaScript has grown into a one-stop coding language for creating and hosting web applications. This course will show you just how much today's JavaScript can really do. You'll kick things off by exploring what the Node.js framework brings to the table. Node.js lets JavaScript programmers create server-side architecture so anyone can host their very own application. With it, you'll work with the built-in file system, run development servers, and even program listening devices.

From there, you'll move into Express to manage the flow of data coming into and out of your application. Express is a Node.js framework for building web apps and services, offering developers a collection of features and middleware (functions that handle requests) for creating an API for their web application. Express is an essential skill set when working with Node.js and back-end technology.

Last up, you'll get into MongoDB. If you've spent any time with JavaScript, you're probably already familiar with the concept of an object. Objects organize data using key-value pairs, which is a simple but effective way to create data structures. MongoDB taps into the power of the object along with JSON to create, store, and manage data in a lightweight way. It's also open source! By the time you finish this advanced course, you'll have the skills to put together functional web applications using JavaScript and its frameworks.
