Real World Node.js Projects

A practical guide to building high-performance server-side applications with Node.js and the essentials of MERN Stack

Node.js is a performance-efficient server-side platform which makes writing backend code simple and fun. Since it is written in JavaScript, it is the perfect tool for full-stack development because it allows you to have your entire codebase in one language.

In this course, you will learn a broad range of skills to build high-performance real-world applications with MERN Stack. You will start by developing a voting application, focusing on server-side tasks with Node.js and Express and then communicating from the server-side to the client with EJS. Then you will learn about WebSockets and real-time communication, which will lead on to developing a full-stack messaging application. Next, you will discover microservices and cloud storage with AWS and upload assets, such as images, video files, documents, and more.

Moving on, you will create a Node.js API and interact with it using the very popular library, React. Ultimately, this will lead to your creating a full-stack shopping application and connecting it to the backend API using the MERN stack. By the end of the course, you will have adapted to using a broad range of Node.js skills and JavaScript technologies to create highly performant, full-stack applications.

Style and Approach

This course adopts a practical approach, where students will learn a broad range of skills while completing full-stack projects. The course is split up into sections: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. This will allow novice developers to learn new skills as they go, and allow intermediate and advanced developers to refresh their skills and learn complex skills and common industry practices.
