Course Description

Node.js is a powerful tool for controlling servers, building web applications, and creating event-driven programs.

In this course, learn the essentials of Node.js and start creating your own JavaScript applications. Instructor Alex Banks acquaints you with all of the basics, showing how to install Node.js and work with the Node.js core, which includes standard input, standard output, the module system, the file system, and how to write and run JavaScript on the server. Upon wrapping up this course, you'll be equipped with fundamental Node.js concepts and techniques that you can put to use in your next project.
