Just released with all new NodeJS best practices and trends! Join a live online community of over 900,000+ developers and a course taught by industry experts that have actually worked both in Silicon Valley and Toronto with NodeJS.
Using the latest version of Node, this course is focused on efficiency and turning you into a Back End or Fullstack developer. Never spend time on confusing, out of date, incomplete tutorials anymore! Graduates of Andrei’s courses are now working at Google, Tesla, Amazon, Apple, IBM, JP Morgan, Facebook, + other top tech companies for a reason.
We guarantee you this is the most comprehensive online resource on NodeJS. This project based course will introduce you to all of the modern toolchain of a Node JS developer. Along the way, we will build a massive NASASpace launch application usingNodeJS, Express Framework, RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and much more! This is going to be a Fullstack MERNapp. We will also build many other mini projects along the way so you feel confident deploying any NodeJS project to production in the future by yourself!
All code is going to be provided step by step and even if you don’t like to code along, you will get access to all the code from the projects we build so anyone signed up for the course will have their own project to put on their portfolio right away.
The curriculum is going to be very hands on as we walk you from start to finish of releasing a professional (performant and secure) NodeJS project all the way into production.We will start from the very beginning by teaching you Node basics and then going into advanced topics so you can make good decisions on architecture and tools on any of your future NodeJS projects. The goal is to turn you into a senior backend developer!
