Micromáster in backend engineering with Node.js

Even though Node.js has been created less than 10 years ago it is still rapidly growing and being regularly adopted by organizations of different sizes. Allowing Javascript to be executed on the server-side makes Node.JS an essential tool in the toolkit of many full-stack developers. In this masterclass we will dive into the world of backend Javascript, exploring topics such as the core philosophies of non-blocking I/O, asynchronicity models and the event loop. We will quickly cover introductory topics such as IDE setup and debugging our applications and move on to more advanced ones such as API design, the REST model and the MVC pattern. For data persistence we will also look into MongoDB, which is another popular choice for cloud-based solutions due to its NoSQL nature.

Our main focus will be learning through doing – by the end of this masterclass you will have the knowledge, necessary to create data-rich application from start to finish.
