NodeJS Made Easy for MEAN or MERN Stack

Description

This course will enable you to master Node.js fundamentals in line with MERN stack development. You will learn the essential concepts that you need to know in order to create Node.js applications using Express, MongoDB, Mongoose, Docker, React, and much more.

Thanks to the power of Node.js, JavaScript developers can now build fast and scalable network applications with ease. If you're an experienced JavaScript developer or are just getting started with your web development career, this course will help you grasp the fundamentals of Node.js quickly. The course starts with the basics of Node and helps you set up the development environment by installing Node.js and Visual Studio Code on your machine. After the setup is complete, you will create a simple Node application to understand the in-built Node packages. As you progress, you will create REST APIs using Express, and learn how to develop a REST backend using the Mongoose package and MongoDB database. Later, you will perform integration testing on your application using Mocha and Chai, dockerize your Node application, and secure your REST APIs using OAuth. After testing and securing your Node.js application, you will deploy it to AWS. Finally, you will create a React frontend for your application and implement a RESTful API using PostgreSQL. By the end of this course, you will be well-versed with Node.js and web development and have the skills you need to add value to your Node.js projects. The code bundle for this course is uploaded on the GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/NodeMadeEasy
