Node.js From Scratch

Envato Tuts+ Courses

Course Description

Node.js is an amazing platform. It is the V8 JavaScript that Google Chrome uses on the front end running on a server. As a developer who loves JavaScript in the browser, I find it amazing to be able to write web servers and other programs in the very same language. As you’ll see, it’s similar to JavaScript in the browser; however, it isn’t all the same. There are many new patterns and features that we’ll cover in this course.

What You’ll Learn

• How to use Node.js to build web applications and other programs.
• The principles of Node.js, including scope, modules, and asynchronous coding.
• How to work with the Node.js API, including lessons on EventEmitter, utilities, path tools, and streams.
• Taking it further with NPM and third-party modules.
