Node.js Fundamentals

This course focuses on developing the server side of web applications and REStful web services using Node.js. The course focuses on node.js and its complementary libraries and frameworks, such as Express.js and Mongoose.

The course was developed for people with basic knowledge of software development. It can be either a programming course that was taken in the past or practical experience. The first two meetings cover the required knowledge in JavaScript for developing in Node.js.

If you don’t have a background in JavaScript, we recommend you to start by taking the online course (in Hebrew) for learning JavaScript at https://academy.lifemichael.com/he Taking that course, we will refund you the sum you paid (e.g. If you pay 640 shekels for the JavaScript programming online course you will get a discount of 640 shekels when paying for the Node.js Fundamentals course).

The course includes 70 academic hours delivered in 14 weekly meetings. The course takes place online. If interested, it might be feasible to attend the meeting room from which the course is broadcast (if you are interested in this option, you should update us before you enroll). The training material (slides, video clips, assignments, solutions, and code samples) for the entire course is organized on the e-learning platform we use during the course. Each meeting includes a theoretical lecture together with practical practice (at least 40% of each meeting). The practical practice includes coding by the instructor followed by the students and coding by the students with the assistance of the instructor. Each meeting is captured on video in order to allow the students to have an effective learning process at home. The course includes lots of relatively small assignments and a final project.
