Professional Node.js

In this course, you will be presented with various sets of patterns that are ready to use to efficiently solve your everyday development and design problems.


You will understand what different traditional design patterns look like in Node.js, and how to design modules that focus on performing a single task at a given point in time.


You will gain an understanding of the basic building blocks and principles of writing large and well-organized Node.js applications. You will be able to apply these principles to problems that don't fall within the scope of existing patterns.

Node.js is considered a game changer. It is the biggest shift of the decade in web development. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript, which enables scenarios such as single-language application stacks and the sharing of code between the server and the client.


The goal of this course is to guide you through the emerging world of patterns, techniques, and practices, helping you to understand proven solutions to common problems.


Throughout the course, you will be presented with several libraries and technologies. They will be used to demonstrate a pattern or technique, and will also give you great exposure to the Node.js ecosystem and its set of solutions.

This course will uncover a set of patterns to solve common problems encountered in Node.js design and coding. Finally, you will explore writing modular and efficient Node.js applications.
This course is for developers who have already had initial contact with Node.js and now want to get the most out of it in terms of productivity, design quality, and scalability. You are only required to have some prior exposure to the technology through some basic examples, since this course will cover some basic concepts as well. Developers with intermediate experience in Node.js will also find the techniques presented in this course beneficial.
