Overview
The Deep Dive Into JavaScript course endorses Middle and Junior Web Developers to improve their software development skills and qualification in Web Technologies, as well as systematise their knowledge in backend programming in general. After the course developers will be able to write BackEnd applications in JavaScript & TypeScript programming languages and use ideas from modern Node.js frameworks.
Learning highlights
- The course extends knowledge of JavaScript & TypeScript programming languages, embraces modern EcmaScript standard, key Web platform features, explains their principles and features,
- overviews software design patterns - Event-Driven Paradigm, Module, REST API,
- uncovers Node.js ecosystem, principles and features of popular libraries (ExpressJS, Nest.js, Passport), as well as standards of projecting and managing, building and testing backend applications (npm, package.json),
- includes theory and practice with MongoDB, and discusses style, performance, and security techniques,
- provides materials, code examples, project tasks, and exercises for continuous learning.
