About

This course will teach you how to build RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express, two popular and widely used technologies in web development. You will learn how to create a server-side application that can handle requests from client-side applications and respond with JSON data. In the first module, participants will delve into the world of Node.js and Express, learning how to set up a development environment, explore the architecture of Node.js, and work with built-in modules. This module also covers how to use middleware, handle HTTP requests and responses, and use template engines. The second module of the course focuses on working with databases using MongoDB, a popular NoSQL database. This part will impart knowledge about connecting to a MongoDB database, creating collections and documents, and performing CRUD operations using the MongoDB driver. Participants will also learn about NoSQL databases and how to query and interact with them. The third module dives into advanced topics in Node.js and Express, such as asynchronous programming, error handling, security, and testing. This module involves understanding how to write scalable and maintainable code, handle errors and exceptions, and implement security measures. By the end of this course, you will have the skills and knowledge to create scalable, robust, and secure RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express.
