Node.js is a platform for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Learn how to use the event-driven, non-blocking I/O model to build data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
We will explore the design choices that make Node.js unique, how this changes the way applications are built and how systems of applications work most effectively in this model. Learn how to create modular code that's robust, expressive and clear. Understand when to use callbacks, event emitters and streams. Use streams to easily manipulate data that would be impossible to fit in application memory. Gain confidence in handling errors effectively to ensure runtime reliability.
The course has extensive lab exercises to reinforce the concepts and techniques covered.
On completion of this course, students will be able to:
