BACK-END DEVELOPMENT WITH NODE.JS

The Node.js Programming course is designed to equip learners with the knowledge and practical skills required to build efficient, scalable, and modern server-side applications using JavaScript. It introduces Node.js fundamentals, its asynchronous architecture, and hands-on development practices.

The course begins with an introduction to JavaScript for backend development, covering Node.js installation, environment setup, and package management with npm. Participants will then explore the Node.js runtime environment, event-driven programming, and asynchronous patterns such as callbacks, promises, and async/await.

Learners will gain hands-on experience in creating RESTful APIs, handling file systems, managing databases, and implementing real-time communication with WebSockets. The course also emphasizes application security, error handling, debugging, and performance optimization.

Practical modules include working with the Express.js framework to build structured web applications, integrating third-party modules, and deploying Node.js applications to cloud platforms.

By the end of the training, participants will be able to design, develop, and deploy scalable server-side applications with Node.js, making them industry-ready for backend or full-stack development roles
