Node.js for Beginners [2018]

Node.js is an open source, cross-platform framework created by Ryan Dahl and built on the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It allows the creation of highly scalable server-side applications and scripts with JavaScript.

Learn Node.js and run your very own http server, ready to handle client requests, show HTML content and read from files. Thanks to its event-driven system, you’ll be able to handle multiple requests and not worry about the page load time. With no prior knowledge of Node required, you will progress through a series of mini-projects, working up from the basics, including running a “Hello World” test, parsing multiple data types according to their format, and creating a server log file to keep track of and debug your server.

You will learn how to: 
  • Install Node.js
  • Understand the Node loop and how it performs non-blocking I/O operations
  • Use third-party packages that can benefit your project
  • Request data from different APIs
  • Display HTML content to the client
  • Read and handle CSV data
  • Handle different client requests
  • Read from files
  • Write to files
