Projects
As a lead instructor at one of the top bootcamps I know that the best way to learn a new technology is utilizing your skills in a real world project. For this reason this course targets multiple projects to enhance your learning experience.
News App
In this app you will learn how to use create server side pages using Mustache template engine. You will build a login and registration screen and eve customize the user’s page based on their credentials. This app integrates with PostgreSQL database using pg-promise library. Finally, you will learn how to deploy your app to Heroku server.
Sell Your Stuff
In this app you will learn how to create an ExpressJS website which allows the user’s to list their products for sale. You will learn how to integrate Sequelize ORM with your Node application. The project also covers how to upload images from your machine to your own server. Just like the previous app you will also implementing login and registration of the user.
Grocery App
In this app you will learn how to create both the client and the server. The client will be implemented using the vanilla HTML and JavaScript and the server will be implementing using ExpressJS and MongoDB (Document Database). You will learn how to persist documents as well as nested documents in the MongoDB database.
Is this course for you?
If you have no NodeJS experience then you are going to enjoy this course. NodeJS is a very high in demand framework and after going through this course you can use your new skills to become a full stack web developer.
If you have novice NodeJS experience then about accessing PostgreSQL and MongoDB databases with pg-promise, Sequelize and mongoose.
